I wish more Buyers Agents would just come out and ask Listing Agents what offers look like BEFORE they submitted another offer. Having more of the same offers doesn't really help buyers or sellers. Nothing prevents Listing Agents from disclosing what the other offers look like, unless Sellers specifically request otherwise. But...do you think my Sellers want a whole bunch of the same offers or offers that keep getting better until all the right terms are finally achieved.
Of course I have met plenty of Listing Agents who refuse to disclose what the other offers are. I don't get it but to each their own.
No, price isn't always the biggest decision as there are many other important terms to consider. And I probably do lose a fair amount of offers since those buyers wont be submitting an offer if their offer isn't competitive...but I am not sure if that's entirely bad. Goal is not a "bidding war" but instead just trying to be open/honest.
This is a snap shot of how my CRM keeps track of offers. Its a CRM that I custom built myself that has a bunch of cool automation functions. Many agents around town have received my automated messages. Each blue line is a hyperlink so I can write notes about the actual offer details or notes about the buyers agent or notes about the buyers. Its kind of cool to have a history of people and data about their behaviors. Every phone call is logged, every interaction is recorded. I love it.
