Burned Out Sellers of Tampa Homes
August 23rd, 2006 categories: Tampa Real Estate, Tampa Homes, South Tampa
Seems like some sellers are getting burned out and frustrated in the home selling process. There is one way to speed up the process of finding a buyer for your home. DROP THE PRICE! I showed a south Tampa townhome yesterday and the seller was not only present, but was fairly rude. We knocked on the door and the seller opened up with not so much as a “hello”. She let us in and went right back to working with her daughter on homework. I asked if it was ok to show my client around and the reply was “yeah, yeah, go ahead.”
I checked my MLS info and sure enough, the home has been on the market since May without a single price reduction. We checked the place out (very thorough buyer client) and not once did the seller interact further with us. No “Can I answer any questions”, nor any attempts to offer any information on why my client may actually want to buy the place. She was most likely advised by her agent not to discuss anything with us, but friendliness is still ok, right? Sellers are most often advised not to be present when thier homes are shown, and for good reason.
After a full tour, we headed for the exit and did get a “goodbye” out of her as the door hit us in the rear on the way out.
It was obvious that this seller was frustrated and was tired of showing her home and speaking to prospective buyers. Let’s face it. Having to keep your home in showing shape and letting strangers walk around and open every door to every closet and room does get old. But it is a neccessary part of the process, and the primary way to shorten the process is to reduce the price until you find a buyer that sees value. This seller had not been willing to do that. The offensive nature toward prospective buyer and agent didn’t help much either.
