Single Men...Bad Clients

Lets face it, they are not that motivated to buy real estate. "This does not apply to all single men but a very good majority".

I have been in real estate for 25 years and by far, single men have been flaky, unreliable and afraid of commitment to a piece of real estate. Housewives drive our market...they are motivated, they know what they want and they are going to make sure their spouses get out of their lazy boy chairs, turn off ESPN Sportcenter and get their butts behind the wheel and buy them a house, very simple. If you are a new realtor and you have a single man as a client you have a 50-50 chance at best of closing a deal with them.

You can show them the best deals backed up by the best market statistics and it will pale by comparison to his buddies in the sports bar that say " I had a friend who bought a house in that area for a dollar." So now based on Mr. Wizard sucking down Coronas at the speed of light, your single client will be writing the most ridiculous offers you have ever seen. And then, if you do make it to escrow, Mr. Wizard will advise your client that he heard there are radon infested locusts in that area and you need a special locust inspector that specializes in Radon to inspect the house. You get the picture, they will listen to any chowder head that they just met in a bar instead of their Realtor.

Oh and don't forget the loan process where he has to talk to every lender in the county to make sure he is getting the best rate because he heard one of his buddies got a 2% rate and the seller paid all his closing costs, funded his unborn kids college fund and threw in a cruise at the last minute.

Remember...Housewives drive the real estate market.
