"As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about the entire process. Step by step, Joe made it easy and fun. His expertise in the Columbus real estate market is a tremendous asset. He is highly recommended!" - Nicolette Horan
"I wanted to say thank you again, so much, for all your hard work. I know that you really put a lot of time into this transaction and I really, really appreciate it. I'm so happy I got the house and it all worked out and I just wanted to say thanks again, you did a great job and i really appreciate it. I will put that on the survey when they send it to me.
If there is ever anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to give me a call. I will refer every single person I know to you. I'm going to go get my dog and we're going to sit on the floor of our new house and have a glass of champaign. Thanks a lot Joe" -- Michael Mamp
Do Sellers Have to Accept Full Price Offers?
August 7th, 2008 categories: For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers
No, they do not. In fact, it is possible that a Seller would counter a full price offer with a number higher than the asking price. The Seller is not legally required to accept an offer just because it is full price.
I have never been part of a transaction where this happened — except in competitive situations where other buyers were competing against my buyers for the same (no doubt under-priced) home. In those cases, the final sales price could be upwards of 30% or more on top of the listed asking price.
Is under-pricing your home in hopes of a competing-offer frenzy a smart marketing strategy in the Columbus Ohio Real Estate Market? Not usually. The best way to price your home is still pricing it at the place where it is most likely to sell, depending on what the market will bear, for the most money in the least amount of time possible.
