If you were going to sell your house tomorrow, what would influence your decision the most?
Assume that the difference in money offered isn't that wide, and it comes down to personality.
Who would you want living in your house right now?
- Married couple?
- Same religion or beliefs ?
- Ties to the area?
- Type of work (Banker? Social worker?)
- Same cultural background?
- Has physical skills?
- Asks a lot of questions about the house?
- Wears formal attire?
I need ideas guys, I've got my first house viewing tomorrow and I'm pretty low on the ideal candidate ladder.
I sold mine a couple of years ago. I ended up with a flappy woman who bailed, so I'd be wary of flappy. I ended up selling to a nice young lad who was reliable.
I looked for: a) didn't try and negotiate directly with me b) didn't try and find faults with the house indicating theyd try and get money off c) was polite and friendly d) genuinely liked the house e) seemed reliable in some way, I didn't care if they were blue collar as long as they were reliable
I knocked back offers from people who didn't fit that criteria.
Great tips! Okay, I guess if I have a low bid, I should just try my luck without dissing the house to try justify it.
I guess I just need to give off honest vibes
Good idea. After my house fell through through the woman whose house I was buying gave me two weeks to find a new buyer cos she knew I was legit and really wanted the house so would push for it. I ended up leaving my fridge for my buyer cos he was lovely. So niceness pays! Just if they're a dick, you may need to make it clear you're nice but not a walkover.
