Palm Beach Real Estate and Loans

Let me be blunt-

Are you the type of person that takes advantage of great deals, or do you WAIT and then get MAD when someone else ACTS?

Unfortunately, too many people fall into the second category.

Recently I was dealing with a family that was looking to purchase a home in Palm Beach Gardens- specifically PGA National. They had some pretty strict requirements on what the property HAD to have, so their choices were pretty limited. (BTW -they were looking at homes for sale that were well within their means so the availability of funds was not a question.)

I brought them to a home - before we even went in the door I told them that the house was under-priced and that it would not last long.  Very very few homes are under-priced these days as we all know!

The loved the home and wanted to make an offer right away. GREAT!

Nope.

These real estate 'pros' knew what the home was worth (on-line auto estimate, of course). Their initial bid was very low, but the owner did move a tiny bit.  I made it very clear that they would, without a doubt, lose the home unless they raised their offer significantly. Against my advice they waited another day and made a very minor increase to their offer.  It didn't matter - someone else had bought the house in the meantime.

They were furious.

Same people, same area, another home - I had already talked to the listing Agent and told him that if the price on that particular home dropped that I had someone that would probably take it.  He got me a few days later and told me that the price on the home had, in fact, dropped A LOT.  I called the couple back and gave them the good news - with the warning that the home would not last long.....

"Well, that's great!  Let us think it over for a few days....."

The next morning someone else made a full-price cash offer.

I did contact them to let them know that they lost out yet again.

It's simple, Those Who Wait, Lose.
