Have
you ever called on a
listing that already has an offer on it and asked, “So, how much is the
other
offer?” We all know the answer we normally get, “Sorry, I
can’t tell
you that.”
Well, today I want to ask you a question…
WHY
NOT?
As a listing agent, my
job is to get the most for my seller and if I
think I
can get more for my seller by telling the buyer’s agent how much the
other
offer is, guess what I’m doing? I am not going to hide the
other offer
from
another buyer, I don’t represent them. I don’t have a financial
obligation to
try to make sure their offer is accepted.
I’M HIRED TO GET THE MOST FOR THE SELLER!
So,
if you hire me to sell
your home, I’m going to do everything in my power to get you the most
amount of
money for it. If I run in to a situation where there are
multiple
offers,
(Which we have been seeing lately) I’m going to work to get you the
most money
and if that means getting buyers to put in a higher offer by telling
them what
all the offers are, then I’m going to do exactly that!
Are you a listing agent?
Do you tell potential buyers what the other
offers
are? Now, if I get a lowball offer in, I’m not going to
say a thing,
but if it
is full price or really close to it, I’m going to speak up and tell the
other
agent that they had better put a full price offer in if their buyers
stand a
chance at all of getting this home.
