Let's Get REAL Estate

In another rare hit for the Sun-Sentinel, they have published a very good article giving sellers some wise advice. WATCH WHAT YOU SAY! Everything you say to a buyer's agent (or buyer for that matter) becomes ammunition in an offer they may present. NEVER "show your hand" in what you're willing to accept OR reject! Not only could you lose money you could lose an offer altogether! Perhaps the buyer would have offered more until they heard you say how anxious you are to move! Perhaps when you said you would only accept "X" dollars, the buyer decided it wasn't worth the effort even though you could have gotten REALLY close through negotiation!

And watch out for SOCIAL MEDIA! You never know who may see your Facebook page or who may follow you on Twitter! Don't ever post what you'll accept or what you're willing to do to sell!

I guess the moral is...you hired a professional to sell your home...Don't undermine your Realtors ability to get you the best deal they can!

Loose Lips really can Sink Ships...and real estate deals! Until next time!
