How to Get Buyers Who Want to Work with You (and Pay You!) Even If the Way Buyers’ Agents Get Paid Changes
Being a buyers’ agent is a total crap shoot, yet the vast majority of agents find themselves constantly rolling the dice, hoping to get paid.
It’s not unusual for homebuyers to admire a seller’s belongings. Chances are they may share similar taste—they bought the same house, after all!
But some go as far as to ask that certain items remain with the home as part of the deal. It’s easy to imagine clients wanting to include mirrors, window treatments, and maybe even chandeliers—but some take it a step farther and make really bold requests.
We asked our audience to share their experiences with the wildest things their buyers wanted thrown in with the property to seal the deal, and some are downright startling. Take a look and prepare to shake your head in disbelief!
Believe it or not, some buyers have the nerve to request the seller leave the family pet behind. Ouch! And we’re not just talking about cats, dogs, and fish—but those are in there too. Check out some of the more exotic animals buyers were eager to own!
