Sometimes The Want Is Not A Need

 

Prior to showing houses to potential buyers, getting down to the minutia of priorities that meet their core criteria, means less wasted time and resources. It also helps to avoid clouding true desires, and...

 

🏠 Keeps them focused on the 'must haves' like neighborhood amenities, total square feet of usable space, a fenced yard, close proximity to schools or medical services, instead of what the property lacks. Staying on track so frustrations are minimal for both the buyers and the agent.

 

Saves valuable time. Paying close attention to the details prevents overwhelming buyers, plus it encourages them to remain organized instead of getting sidetracked by details that matter little. Size of property matters greatly because sometimes, 'more' is not always the best.

 

🛍 Reduces buyer remorse. Staying close to the buyers priorities allows success in finding the one that readily aligns with the Wish List. Buyers, most likely will enjoy the home more for many years because  they were in charge of making the big decisions. That lends to a higher satisfaction level.

 

Writing down and staying to top priorities creates a better buying experience all around. Ensuring buyers are ready to go, means getting to a successful end result quicker, especially when time is of the essence.

 

That way, clients achieve their wanted goals instead of settling for something perceived as needed!

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! as with most things in life the wants in a home, many times go far beyond the actual needs.

Good afternoon Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! ,

It's so important to keep buyers focused on their goals and is easier with a good buyer consultation to begin with, writing down and being clear on what the objective is!!

Buyers see what their family members have ignoring  the years it took to achieve it and just want to bypass the in between, It takes a lot of acceptance for them to realize they have to wait.

Sometimes my wants meld into my weak needs and chocolate milk shake and a bag of french frys at McDonalds or similar establishment is the end result.

Hello Wanda - proper preparation can pay off.  A sense of a reality combines with other factors to create wants, needs as well as a lot of other stuff.

Good morning, Wanda... I start all my buyer consultations with an in-depth discussion of their negotiables and their non-negotiables in a home. Always fascinating how those change once they actually start looking at homes and also understanding what their money will or won't buy them.

I see it often after the first round of showings, because of budget, the wants have to take a backseat to the needs, haha.

Some younger people do not realize the sacrifices that some of us made to get to where we are today, Ed Silva, 203-206-0754. They only want to skip the hard work part and get to the finish line!

There are so many parts that make up the whole and when buyers are finally agreeable and convinced based on their own convictions, good things happen, Michael Jacobs!

Both are interchangeable and self-negotiation may come into play, Brian England. After all, buyers need to be happy with the choices made!
