Buyers
Posted Mar 7, 2008 @ 2:31 pm, Viewed by 387 Visitors, Read 390 Times.I have spent the better part of a month showing homes to a nice young couple with a baby. It has been difficult because he wants to stay on a strict budget and she doesn’t want to live where the homes with the features they MUST have are located. During our last trip out, just as conversation, I mentioned this cute little house I have listed as a short sale and said it was too bad it didn’t meet any of their requirements. They were looking at newer homes; my listing was built in 1948. They had to have three bedrooms; my listing has two and a room that is a large closet. They had to have at least a two car garage, my listing has a carport.

I remember, many years ago, losing buyers due to an open house they visited just for the heck of it. It had been on a list I sent them but they felt it was too high for their comfort zone; They ended up purchasing it and wanted me to write up the contract but the listing agent wouldn't share the commission (this was before dual agency). My buyers felt bad, I was upset because I had instructed them not to visit open houses without me. Today this would have been contested by me as procuring cause but it just goes to show that what buyers tell us isn't always what they want. I hope you get this to closing - short sales are another story!
