Open Mouth, Insert Foot

By Michelle Hogan on June 11, 2010

While setting up a showing for a condo, the listing agent was giving me some information about the property. At the end of this conversation he said “The seller is M-O-T-I-V-A-T-E-D. Make an offer, no matter what it is, just make it, even if you think it’s really low.”
I was a little suprised that he would give out such advice over the phone to any old agent that called him up. A comment like that could cost that seller a lot of money.

We didn’t make an offer on that property but had we done so you can be sure it would have kept extra money in my buyers pocketbook.
