Our market has bounced back and prices have stabilized. Deals are non existent and sellers have started to dig in their heels.
Sure the inventory shows many units for sale, but the attractive ones are scarce and pricey.

Three days ago I present an offer on a condo to a well established Re/Max agent in Boca. He comes back the next day via email and writes " the sellers are countering at $.... and want ...."
I replied: "verbal counters are non binding, neither you nor I are parties to the transaction (and therefore cannot bind our principals), and you do not have a POA (Power of Attorney). You requested all offers to be in writing and I know you would have refused to present my offer if I just sent it to you in an informal email; so why would you expect me and my buyers to accept a non binding counter from you?
His response was that it was in his listing agreement with the seller that it was ok to do counters verbally (BS if you ask me)... I replied that my buyers were turned off and I would get back to him if anything changed in the future...
This is the perfect example of a dangerous agent. He is hurting himself, buyers, other agents and his sellers with this behavior, here is why:
- he turned off a qualified buyer who was willing to negotiate and buy this property. These buyers just got burned a few months earlier when the verbal negotiations on another property came to a full agreement on terms and price, but the seller received a higher offer just as the listing agent was going to forward the final contract for signature. Because the final negotiations were done via email and phone, they were non-binding...
- next time I deal with this agent, I will place in the initial contract that all counter offers will be made by either party in writing, and I will inform my clients that they have the right to call or write the sellers to complain about the listing agent's non compliance. I cannot do that because the code of ethics (funny...) does not allow me to bypass the mediocre listing agent and deal with the sellers directly. However, my clients can...
It is unfortunate we still have agents who do not understand the legal and financial implications of their irresponsible and careless actions...

Most sellers have self serving reasons to price their properties high: they need the money to buy something else or invest, their "real estate expert" friend told them it was worth $$$, the home was worth $$$ in 2004-2005, they spent lots of $$$ renovating, they bought it for $$$ in 2004-2006, and the big one, they owe $$$ on it.
It is important to realize as a seller that all these reasons are irrelevant to the buyers. Today, and thanks to the internet, buyers do their homework and work with good agents.
Although the supply of properties may appear high in Boca Raton, buyers are having a hard time finding a properly priced condo or home that suits them. These buyers are patient and will wait for that motivated seller to list or will make what they believe is a fair offer to that unreasonable seller and walk away if they cannot come to an agreement.
This is why as a seller you need to be working with a true professional who is active in the market and in touch with buyers...
