Interested in the experiences of others.. We are selling home and going to auction soon..
So I had the pleasurable experience of being 'conditioned' by my agent last night, which led to some interesting discussion and reaction from him when I asked him some questions relating to the circumstances of the buyers, where he then didn't know the answers. He knew nothing (or very little) of their personal situation, aside from what price indication they were giving. The agent and buyers price indication is about 50k away from mine on a property worth around 1 million.. buyers are saying lower nines
Came away from the meeting questioning whether 1. the serious buyers are actually telling the agent honestly what the house is worth, or whether they are playing it down.. and 2. whether the agent is accurately and honestly telling me what the buyers are actually saying or whether he's adapting it to get me down to make his job easier..
When I buy property I will always tell an agent I think it's a lot less than what Id be prepared to pay..obviously don't want the agent knowing what my capacity is if I start bidding (ie why would I bid if I cant afford what I think its valued at..).. does everyone do this? and I have been misled by agent??
