    Love the line, "Only 2 people decide the price, the Buyers and the bank!" Probably wakes up some sellers during a listing appt!

      Matt Leighton kinda funny how you agents rarely own a home or if you do it’s low tier. Lol

    I completely agree with the 1st mistake. offensive to who? who cares...Submit the offer! i submitted 30 low ball offers at once on my last property search. 18 no response, 5 hell no's!, 4 counter offers and 3 accepted and we chose 1 and I got what I was looking for. can't be shy. gotta go for it.

    Totally agree with #5- we're looking to sell in a year and we're working on ditching all the excess stuff before hand and figuring what to put in storage, plan for pets while house is for sale, etc.

    I just got burned by TWO unethical agents; mine and the sellers. In my opinion, agents on both sides are scam artists just looking to maximize their profits. They could care less about the "best interests" of who they represent. I advise extreme caution when using an agent, whether you're buying OR selling.

    @jedclampett7705 5 лет назад

    As a seller in need of "upgrades" (don't know the local market like a good agent would...or should(!), but rather certain I'll need to spend some money just not sure where), would it be best to first decide on an agent (after interviewing three), develop a plan w/said agent and THEN and only then start spending the money hopefully to get some of it back at closing? Also, do agents typically offer referrals/suggestions on who to contact to get the work done or is that a big no-no in the real estate selling biz? TIA!

    • @TheMattLeighton
      @TheMattLeighton  5 лет назад

      Great question! I would interview 3 agents first, before making renovations. Hopefully you feel comfortable with one of them and they will advise you to the best updates to do to get the most for your money.
      All agents should have referrals for who to contact for home improvements.
      Thanks for watching and good luck!

    @brandenkret4011 4 года назад +5

    I just find it hard to justify 1 or 2 essentially deal brokers deserving 5% of a deal. I sell a house for 500k and the agents deserve 25k of that for putting some ads and taking some people through it?
    Maybe if agents worked on a flat fee basis but a percentage? Come on. What a ripoff.

    Quick question, which app is the best for finding new construction ?;) thanks

    • @TheMattLeighton
      @TheMattLeighton  5 лет назад

      Hmm, good question! Not sure there is an exact app for that but you should be able to filter search results by Year Built in all the big apps like Homesnap, Redfin and Zillow!

  • @kellyk8966
    @kellyk8966 4 года назад

    As a broker I assured my buyers the seller would not be offended because they are brokers and pros.
    I was wrong. I got a really nasty text from the broker rejecting my "horrible offer".
    It was so petty.

    @thegadgetblast 4 года назад

    Good info!! I just watched 3 of your other videos JUST NOW🤓. I have an investor that no matter what I suggest about price listing and /or fixing up they will NOT listen. Very frustrating and makes my service so much more difficult. The house sits and well, you know the rest.🥴

    Hi Matt, i'm thinking of moving to Arlington. I go there every now and then i live 30 min south of Harrisonburg Va. What would be the first great step to make NOW for moving in the next 2 years? would LOVE to buy but prefer to rent. since we'd be brand new to the area.

    Can a real estate agent hire a salesman to work for them

  • @OttawaRealEstateAgent
    @OttawaRealEstateAgent 6 лет назад +2

    Nr. 2 make up your mind are you working for a buyer or a seller? Listing agent can not legally disclose the sellers motivation to move unless they have that in writing from the seller. If they do disclose as you said "this will help the buyer formulate their LOW BALL offer", so again this would be hurting the seller. I think more important than sending in a ridiculous low ball offer is to educate your buyer on reality of the market, at the time they are making the purchase. You seem to be dancing in this video as the "wind blows" Good number of views but come on man you would never negotiate like that with buyer's or seller's agent because of your fiduciary duties to your own client and vice versa.

    • @TheMattLeighton
      @TheMattLeighton  6 лет назад +1

      Great points all around. I like asking questions to the other agent even if I know the answer. You never know what information they will provide to you.... Thanks for watching!

  • @emerald613
    @emerald613 6 лет назад

    Matt where in the world were you !when I was buying and selling my homes ? I bought and sold but knew NOTHING about what I was doing and I was my agents first customer! What a mess - I ended up in my car for 31 days because the day the seller was to sign papers they found liens and he could not sale . Then I bought a home that had HOA hidden depth: I ended up paying every month along with rising HOA fees , now a year later I’m in a middle town home I call “a torture chamber “ : sharing walls with two people is so torturous especially when they don’t care and things got worst after I talked to the neighbors: I want out so bad !! Do I have wait 2-5 years ? Plus the market is raising so quick out of my reach
    Damn I wish you were my agent and loan officer
    You have been given such a gift !

    • @TheMattLeighton

      +Crystal Dean wish I could have been there to help! Depends on your market. Does it make sense to sell? Rent? What are your options? Lots of things to consider. Thanks for watching!
