Okay, so I apologize if you run around all day with Pat Benetar in your head… Buyers in the Raleigh area are starting to feel the beginning of a Sellers market again – with multiple offers and homes selling in the better areas of town in under 30 days – it’s time to put on your game face and step up to the plate.
When making an offer in a potential multiple offer scenario, you have to come to the table with your best foot forward, you may only have one shot at making an offer, so make your best one the 1st time or you might regret it. Just yesterday we negotiated a multiple offer situation for a home buyer on a relocation property that had just transferred from seller to relocation company and taken a significant decrease in list price. Our buyer agent recommended the buyer offer slightly more then list price, knowing the home was slightly undervalued and that another offer was on the table. WIN for the WRG Buyer, they walked away with the sale!
This is the second time in 2 weeks this has happened for a client and, both times with different homes in different areas of Raleigh, we have won the sale. The appraisal will most likely come in slightly higher than list price on the new sale just as the last one did and the buyer walks away a winner.
What makes these deal come together? Agents who know the market in the hot selling areas of town. Agents who stay on top of new listings AND those homes already on the market that take price adjustments. Agents that get their clients in the door first and educate them about a good sale so the client knows one when they see it for themselves and can act quickly. THAT is what real estate sales should look like – Call us to hire a Wilson Realty Group Buyer Specialist today!
