I don't mean to go off on a rant (with apologies to Dennis Miller) -
BUT......
And I do realize that you have to take the good with the BAD not-so-good -
BUT......
Let's go over 2 recent Customer contacts that I have had.
Both want to buy real estate in Palm Beach Gardens, one doesn't need a mortgage the other one isn't sure.
Easy so far -
Customer 1: I'm looking to buy a home -
Me: Fantastic - let's go over your specific wants / needs and we'll take it from there-
Customer 1: It's going to be for me, my wife and 2 children. We want a single family home, 4 bedrooms would be perfect. We'd need a 2 car garage, a pool would be nice, but not necessary. The quality of the local schools is very important, so I'll need as much information on them as possible. Close to shopping and the beaches would be great and I really don't want to pay more then $600,000. I'm currently selling my home, but that won't interfere with the new purchase. Oh yeah - I'll be able to pay cash so financing won't be a concern. Do you need anything else?
With a tear in my eye I said "No, that pretty much covers the basics.". I quickly found several homes and we set a time to meet up in the next 2 weeks.
Now, from behind the next curtain -
Customer 2: Hi, I'm looking to buy a new home for my family-
Me: Fantastic - let's go over your specific wants / needs and we'll take it from there- (sound familiar to anybody?)
Customer 2: (a bit upset) I just said that I was looking to buy a new home.
