Ken Krell - Why Is The Seller Selling?
Why is the seller selling? by Ken Krell
One of the most important questions that any real estate buyer should ask is “Why is the seller selling?” This is fundamental yet essential information, as it lets the buyer know the seller’s needs.
For instance, many sellers need to sell for economic reasons. They can’t carry the payments any longer; they have other bills that must be paid etc. These people may be rather motivated to sell faster at a lesser price, so as to resolve their problems quickly.
Other sellers simply don’t want the home any more. I met one seller once felt as if he was “imprisoned” in his home. By buying it from him, I “released him” from his problem.
Many folks sell their homes because they bought the wrong one in the first place, say Bill Broadbent and Charles Chatham, two of America’s most popular creative real estate counselors. If they properly understood their needs, Broadbent and Chatham contend, buyers wouldn’t become sellers so quickly.
Most folks sell their houses because they out-grow them. In these cases, motivations usually don’t run very high. Sellers are more willing to wait for their price and terms. These are the folks that most investors do not want to deal with, as the best deals are made with motivated sellers.
How does a buyer find out why the seller is selling? Many folks believe that you can ask the agent. In some cases the agent will indeed, know the true motivation of the seller. I contend however that most cases the agent has no idea of the seller’s true motivation.
To begin with, agents are not trained to counsel with sellers. They are trained to get the listing, and once they get it, to sell the house. Seller motivation only enters the picture when it comes to discussions about financing, and then in only a cursory discussion. While many will take issue with me on this, it is a brutal truth to the frustrated buyer.
The agent is also thrown a curve in many instances, as sellers often won’t level with their agent. Often they’re embarrassed about their reason for selling. Perhaps they don’t want to talk about a divorce, loss of job, etc. For whatever the reason, many agents feel that they’ve got a happy-go-lucky seller when in some cases, the seller prays for a fast sale every night.
Many “old-guard” investors don’t care why the seller is selling; they just make their offers, and are happy when they make a deal. I contend that in the ‘80s we need to take a more “people-oriented” attitude about buying and selling, since its people who sign the deed. Understand how you can meet their needs, and you can often meet your own as well.
