The Little Details Do Matter

By: Michelle Leonard

Friday my buyer found a house online in the emails I send him from Trend. Saturday I called for an appointment - the listing agent told me NO appointments until Sunday - Saturday the buyer was driving by and saw the seller - they engaged in a conversation and the seller showed him thru - Question #1 Why did the seller let the buyer in and the agent put up a wall?!? The buyer came to see me - and asked me how much he should offer and I told him the comps - since I had not seen the home how could I help the buyer?? Than miraculously the seller called me directly - ethically I am not permitted to call another agents client -  After seeing the house and having the seller fill in the seller's disclosure - alot was missing- we typed up an agreement a full price offer - signed it and faxed it to the listing Agent BEFORE 6 pm - I also called her to give her a heads up that I had emailed it - Tick Tock Tick Tock I called the agent as I was driving to an 11 am Open House - Oh they hav e a few things - I said email me the list Tick Tock - List not sent until 4pm..Later I figured out why - they wanted to shop my offer at their open house 2 to 4 - Oh the games people play...I get home at 5:30 the phone was ring as I walked in - I said come on over. - We worked thru the list - I called the agent - and she sends over a list with more stuff... What is that saying the devil is in the details - well changes upon changes - the buyer knows he has offed top dollar - the highest sale has been $325,000 - we paid full price at $349,000 when is enough enough - is that agent"protecting her client" or is she killing the deal???

Michelle, this would be a great job if it were not for the buyers, sellers and the other agents ;-)

FYI - the buyer decided to pull his offer - he did not like the process.
