Feb. 15, 2014 Top 3 Ways To Turn a Seller Off 1.Unjustified or extremely low offers. Be realistic. No seller wants to take as offer that is obviously far below market value. They will turn down the offer and, perhaps, not even bother with a counteroffer. Show buyers recent sales prices of similar homes in the neighborhood. 2.Buyer side mortgage fails. Lending standards have changed in the last few years. This means a buyer may not be as readily approved as in past. A sellers worse nightmare is to accept an offer only to find out weeks or even months later that the buyer cannot get approval for the loan 3. Bashing the house. Buyers may start bad-mouthing the house and/or neighbor heed in hopes of getting a lower price. This can turn off the seller immediately. Tell your buyers this will not work. I only servers to irritate the seller.
