Sally and David have nailed it with this one. Humorous and yet oh so true. Had to share.
Do you play "Let's Start Here"....
It's a popular game that can be played by buyers, sellers and willing agents.
The rules are very simple...
- Pick a number...it can be"from thin air" or if you are a seller ...it is the money you need, deserve, should have, want....If you are a buyer...it is based on what you want to spend..the "profit...or loss" you believe the seller/bank should incur.
- Sellers - on your mark...get set list......don't be surprised when there are no showings.
- Buyers - you should not be surprised to find a counter offer in your e-mail...the 50% off blue light special does not apply to real estate.
The game can go on and on until.....the seller can no longer afford the mortgage..which may not have been the case if the property had been priced according to the comps in the market at the start of the listing...
Buyers...you may find enough counters to paper a room in the house you may never live in...OR find that the seller has "just said no."
How about replacing "Let's Start Here"....with the place we expect to end based upon real numbers in the market...what a concept !
