Myrtle Beach Real Estate

Yes, Mr. Seller you should have accepted $ 175,000! 

I re-listed a condo today.  The Seller agreed to drop the price yet one more time – to $ 139,900 (from the original price of $ 229,900!!!)  

As he was signing the listing agreement, the Seller mused: “I should have accepted that offer of $ 175,000!”  Yes, Mr. Seller you should have accepted $ 175,000!  Too late now... 

Hind sight is 20/20...  Could I have done more to impress upon him how good that $ 175,000 offer was?   I bring figures.  I bring stats.  I try to paint the most accurate picture.  Still, some people just don’t listen...

Lately I go in with one more Big Gun:  I use the media to illustrate my point.  I bring in articles from our local newspaper regarding the current state of the market.  Maybe what I can’t illustrate with my figures and statistics, a catchy title like: “Home sales slide to 2004 pace” may help.  I even e-mail these articles along with offers to the listing agents.  The agents seem receptive and it actually works!
