Could'nt agree more. Sellers realizing that Buyers are making low offers due to the overall financial climate of our economy mandated by a miriad of fiscally irresponsible decisions made by the gross negligence of Congress will simple counter at an acceptable price. Taking the emotions out of any business decision, and yes, selling the largest asset many of us will ever have, is a business decision, will reap greater profits for Sellers. Calm, decisive, analysis of the components of the offer will benefit parties on both sides of the negotiating process.
Makes sense. In the past realtors have tried the political version of marketing , "Hi, my name is Suzy Realtor, I can sell your house, a vote for me is a vote for success."
