One thing buyers sometimes don’t realize is that when an agent says, “We have another offer,” or “There have been several showings,” it’s often not a sales tactic at all.

Think about it this way: when a property first hits the market, the obvious bargains and low-hanging fruit get picked off quickly. The homes that represent the best value tend to attract attention first.

As the market moves along, buyers begin looking at the next tier of opportunities. That’s why you may find yourself interested in a property that’s been sitting for a while. The same factors that caught your eye are often catching the attention of other buyers too.

I’ve seen it happen countless times. A property can sit quietly for weeks or months, then suddenly receive multiple showings or offers within a few days. That’s just how real estate works sometimes.

If you’re interested in a property, don’t assume you’re the only one looking at it. The reason you’re considering it may be the exact same reason someone else is.

PSA- I went to a closing yesterday and the title agent told me, many agents don’t attend their closings? I was shocked. Agents- attend your closings with your buyers and sellers if they are at the table. If you dont, I promise you, you probably wont be at the next one they have.
