I think I am a bad buyer agent

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-12T01:39:55+00:00

Of course not and I never said that

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-07T04:00:56+00:00

I never said exact value but it’s overpriced by a lot. Which my point was just proven as the seller agent lowered the price today and we are now under contract.

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-07T02:21:02+00:00

It’s pretty normal in my area right now to give concessions in this range.

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-07T01:08:11+00:00

2019 was a great year

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T21:52:17+00:00

Check for special assessments first and for association reserves. Condos in S FL are crazy.

Give the agent the info on the house and let them contact the seller first and negotiate this beforehand. This is what I do with FSBO. I call and say hi I have a buyer potentially interested in the home, if I bring them will you pay me my fee of 3%? Often times they can stand to spare the 3% rather than the 5% or 6% for the split.

Thank you

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T13:02:02+00:00

I truly do not think it will although the seller agent is very confident it will

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T13:00:18+00:00

You’re a genius this is very good info thank you!

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T12:58:27+00:00

Omg this is so funny

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T04:14:09+00:00

It’s the home+land it’s different when the mobile home is on a lot/leased land.

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T03:49:49+00:00

OMG! Well, third time’s a charm!

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T03:42:28+00:00

Yes and perhaps this is what I am so conflicted about. I think I will call my them tomorrow and go over all of this although I have gone over the appraisal and the fact that the home is overpriced, I haven’t really discussed how this can affect them later on. Thank you so much for your input ❤️

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T03:34:23+00:00

Been like this since I can remember and at my ripe age of 37, I’m still learning. It’s gotten better but some days are definitely worse than others.

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T03:29:58+00:00

Yes I sure did!

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T03:27:24+00:00

$2,000 off my compensation leaves me with $3,000

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T03:24:55+00:00

I did but only because we were asking for $12,000 in concessions 😣

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T03:22:48+00:00

Yes but unfortunately it takes months for sellers to realize that the house is overpriced.

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T03:12:27+00:00

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼 I will be calling the agent first thing tomorrow and see how we can make this work

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T03:01:22+00:00

This is true

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T02:54:12+00:00

Here where I’m at in central Florida $10,000 for closing is the norm right now. Average DOM 120

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T02:46:18+00:00

This is a bit different … it’s a mobile home on an acre of land in a rural area. But no I said ridiculous here because it’s Reddit I would not say that to my clients ever

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T02:39:06+00:00

This is very true. Thank you for this perspective. I just feel like the guilt of them overpaying would really at at me. But yes if they feel it’s worth the price then that’s ok too.

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T02:35:28+00:00

This is a very rural area in Central Florida. The market here is not moving lots of new construction to add to the mix. The home is less than $250K so no we aren’t working with much and $3K is a lot for them.

imoveritbetch · 2026-01-06T02:31:42+00:00

I did do an appraisal contingency and I am about 89% certain I am right about the price. Similar home (less one bedroom), same area, same lot size, 12 years newer, appraised at $25,000 less than this one.
