Getting it all

Posted by Hyman Weeks



My clients want everything nowadays and it’s because the market’s so bad. They just assume that since it’s a buyer’s market they’re going to get everything they’ve ever wanted in a property and actually end up saving money. It’s my job as a realtor to set their expectations back in order and make sure they’re not out of control going in so they don’t feel like they’re getting ripped off when they actually do find a place that they like and a good deal. There’s nothing worse than when my buyers want to come in with a price that’s hundreds of thousands below the list price! It’s so embarrassing! I remember the days when people were happy with a big backyard and cabletelevision but now it seems like if you don’t have granite countertops and a three car garage you’re not doing well enough…man, our priorities sure have changed in this country! I guess I’ll keep on keeping on until the market turns around and things make more sense to my clients when they see the first price tag.
