| Why do people ghost the way they do? Posted: 23 Nov 2020 04:35 AM PST Just wondering if anyone can understand why someone will come to myself as a realtor, genuinely get into conversation about properties, even go on multiple showings sometimes, everything is going well and I'm helping them then SILENCE. I understand it's part of the industry, but sometimes it makes zero sense. They're as invested into something as I am sometimes. [link] [comments] |

| What happens if seller denies mortgage appraisal visit? Posted: 23 Nov 2020 08:56 AM PST We had a clause in the contract that allowed us to visit the property twice, and we have used up both opportunities. All contingencies have been waived at this point. Now the buyer's lender suddenly required an appraisal visit. We had some difficult conversations with the listing agent in the past, so they initially declined our appraiser a tour of the property. We managed to convince them otherwise, so it's all good now, but I'm just wondering: what usually happens to mortgage applications if property visits are not possible (especially when the selling side refuses to cooperate)? Thanks folks. [link] [comments] |
| These buyers��...time to cut bait? Posted: 22 Nov 2020 05:34 PM PST I've been working with this couple over 1.5 years. Very nice couple. We've only looked at about 10 properties. They lost one back in April during a bidding war. Since then they have moved their search over 1 hr away. They call me weekly with questions (most of which require hours of research and/or tons of back and forth.) For example, they'll routinely call about houses that are off the market..or they'll dissect a sellers disclosure and never view. I've spent countless hours working with them, but I feel pot committed. Anyway, they have had their eyes on a particular home for the past 3-4 weeks. It has been sitting over 60 days but this week was dramatically reduced 60k (unusual for this market I know). My buyers decide to make an offer for 35k under the new ask! I wrote the offer and they were upset they would not hear back until today. Fast forward to today, the sellers flat out declined the offer. Per the agent, they had 20+ showings with the reduction and received another offer. She is a great agent, we've been in constant communication. She even wants to give my buyers an opportunity to bring up their bullshit offer as we were the first party to present an offer. I relay this info to my buyers, asking if they want to come up in price. They determine that there isn't another offer, this is a "negotiation tactic." I'm 99% positive this other offer exists, and even if it doesn't their lowball was denied with no counter offer. At this point , they have questioned my negotiation strategy multiple times. I've been involved in around 20 transactions this year. I've never cut a client but they strait up ignore my advice and now we're looking an hour away. They are prequalified well over ask. I also know they plan on asking for insane credits during the inspection negotiation. I just have this uneasy feeling working with them, even if we get under contract it's going to be a huge headache. I'm considering referring them to another agent, have any of you done this?

| Posted: 23 Nov 2020 09:23 AM PST Hi all! I feel a little lost but I also am feeling like this is an independent business and wondering if I just have the wrong expectations of what a broker should provide? The brokerage I am at now is quite small (5 agents or so and 1 broker) with 0 monthly fees, a good split and good cap but that doesn't really help if I can't get myself launched with actual contracts. Does anyone have any advice? I have a contact at Era Lambros who said I should contact them about switching but then I'm concerned I'm trapped in a rigid big corporation type of brokerage. TIA [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 23 Nov 2020 11:22 AM PST In the spirit of the holidays, I thought it would be a great idea to gift your clients (specifically buyers) with a custom drawing and/or set of Christmas cards with their home on it. Thoughts? [link] [comments] |
| Conversation I had with another Realtor just now... Posted: 22 Nov 2020 04:42 PM PST Phone call I just received. Them: Hi this is (name) from (brokerage). I'm trying to show your listing on (street name) but I can't find the keybox. Me: It's on the front door. Them: "Oh. There it is" (can hear them dying of embarrassment in front of their clients" Me: ¯_(ツ)_/¯ To be fair, I've had to go on some easter egg hunts to find the box, but I have to admit that I would check all doors and the gas meter before I'd call the agent.

| Posted: 22 Nov 2020 04:48 PM PST New agent here. I've been working with this one guy trying to get a rental property for him and he keeps getting denied because he has a big dog. We are waiting for his preapproval letter but it may not go they because his history isn't built up enough (he's 21). But I'm still searching for a house for him to rent in the meantime. I found this property within his budget that I think will allow dogs. The house looks good other than wood paneled walls in the bedroom (who cares, suck it up for a year it's not forever) I asked him if he wanted to go at least see it because you never know, and he said he's gonna have to talk to his family about it. I text him today to ask if he wanted to see it this week and he left me on read. Did I just get ghosted? Should I say the dog is smaller? What gives? [link] [comments] |
