It has come to my attention over the past few weeks that some of the troubled buyers in my market are being overlooked. I have had 3 different buyers contact Me with there war stories.
Buyer one.. Has children with disabilities. has a hard time finding an agent that will work with her. Because she is a single mom and can not always afford a sitter when out looking for a home. She had had to bring the children along. She said they are well behaved it just takes a long time to load and unload them from the car.
Really I ask???? Is there not something in our Realtors association saying we will not discriminate ?? OR Fair housing something or maybe just plain common sense that this lady is doing the best she can with what she has been dealt? Are you that busy that you can not help her? I meet her showed her some homes. Yes it was harder then normal .. But she is a serious buyer.
Buyer two,, My husband and I are living apart. he is working 2 hours away and only home on Sat and Sunday. We lost our home years ago. And had many credit problems. She states that many Realtors cut her short and hung up. I listen long enough to hear that she was talking about 10 years ago she lost her house. her credit cards have been paid off. Her credit is a bit low. But she is getting very close to maybe buying a home. She is very serious about maybe only buying a moble or lower priced home. Ok sale number two coming up.
Buyer three.. Has issues. Lots of debt and wants to rent to own. Credit is not awful but no way can she qualify for any type of property. She is upset to the point of tears. I explain to her that is the low point. She can improve from here. It may take a year but it gives her time to get her credit in order and practice paying on time . She hung up and then called back the next day to say thank you. I promised to stay in touch and help her with her questions. I am not really a counsular but I can be human right. Who knows sale number 3??
Point is listen to what your buyers are saying. Maybe you are overlooking some sales. I know I have in the past. Maybe it is good to have a slow slump...
