Ride the Highway West Baby...This isn`t a Sellers Market any longer




I have to believe there our sellers still out there who are not in touch with the market,shifting economies and a downward spiral in our country.
The dollar,oil and the banking debacle have changed the entire process of buying a home.Gone are the days of 100% loans with teaser rates.


Today, you need to have a group of professionals behind you in order to purchase a home.

Sellers need to revelate their asking price as well as the bottom line.
If an offer comes close to what you wanted don`t play games. Otherwise you`ll lose the buyer,who will simply move on to another home where they`ll be a warm reception awaiting them. Yesterday, after going back and forth with an offer we sent several days ago our buyer started to tire.

They no longer wanted to "Play the Game of You counter, I`ll counter and we`ll meet you half way."

We expressed to the agent who represented the seller, we`re no longer interested in the property if the owner doesn`t agree to our last offer we`re walking.

The agent was smart enough to convey our message to the seller.

The seller relented and finally agreed to accept the offer. There are no more games when selling a home. The first offer maybe you`re best offer. Don`t attempt to re-invent the wheel by playing hardball.


Accept the truth! The market has changed and selling a home isn`t easy as it once was.
The hiring of a professional Realtor to represent you is more important than you can ever imagine.
