The Girl Who Didn't Return Her Calls - Vancouver Washington Real Estate
This story is a tragedy. It is the story of a girl who, although she was completely connected with all of the latest technology, never returned her calls. It is a story of a girl who didn't get to buy the home of her dreams.
This story goes something like this:
I have a client who was really in a bind. She contacted me and let me know that she needed to buy a home and be fully moved into it within 6 weeks. I let her know that we could do it but we would have to develop a plan, act quickly and be ready to write an offer when we found the right home. She agreed and we went to work.
We struck pay dirt on the first day of our search. I took her to see a home that an investor had completely remodeled and listed right within her price range. She absolutely loved it! I explained to her that she needed to act quickly if she wanted to buy it. She agreed. We agreed to meet the next morning (Saturday) to sign the offer and that I would present the offer that afternoon. It was a plan.
An hour before we were scheduled to meet, I received a text message from her asking to postpone our meeting. That was the last I heard from her for the entire weekend. I called her several times and sent several text messages throughout the weekend. No reply. On Monday morning she finally called me back to schedule an appointment for that afternoon. We set up the appointment for that day after work and I went to work on the offer.
Me: Hi this is Mark Hall with Keller Williams, I am getting ready to write an offer on your listing at 123 1st Street.
Listing agent: Wow. That listing has been sitting for three months without any action but all of a sudden everyone wants it!Me: Uh... What do you mean?
Listing agent: Well, We got an offer yesterday, which we countered. And then we go two more offers today! Isn't that crazy?
You don't have to be a brain surgeon to realize that my client didn't get the home that she wanted. Had she written the offer when we planned, she would have easily got the home that she loved. Had she answered her phone at any point during the weekend, I may have been able to convince her that she needed to get it together and write an offer.
Guess what? We have seen a few dozen homes since then and she can't find anything she likes. But now she returns her calls. So I guess we have that going for us.
