Real Estate Relationships are Key in a Hot Market
Buyers experiencing a HOT market in our area continue to deal with one frustration after another as they wage a bidding war on the low inventory we are currently experiencing.
Within all of this chaos I have developed a relationship building approach both as a listing agent and with other listing agents. I have to know that the other REALTOR is willing to work as hard as I am prior to reviewing or submitting an offer.
For example; say you want to make an offer and there are multiple offers involved. The strategy I tend to take is to make sure I package the offer in such a way that the listing agent can see that I understand the way a Bank Asset manager or a Short Sale Negotiator prefers to see an offer.
The key is to understand the inner workings of the submission process to a Bank and as such covey to the decision maker that I am well versed in this process. Its not surprising to have a listing agent pass on a offer because of the way it was presented.
I have had more success by focusing on how I have package an offer and communicated with the other agent.
