ARE YOUR BUYERS BEING UNREASONABLE?
You and your buyers reached an agreement and signed all the paperwork for the sale of your home. After all of the documents were signed, however, the buyers started making additional demands.
It is important to remember that people are rarely at their best when they are buying a house. The buyers may be suffering from “Buyers Remorse”–that intense feeling that they have paid too much and the house is going to fall down as soon as they assume ownership. They may start questioning the fine points of the structural integrity of your home or ask you to include your new washer and dryer and power mower in the transaction. Most buyers are easy to do business with, but don’t take it personally if your buyers begin going through the “home-buying jitters”. An important part of a REALTOR®’s job is to do the necessary “hand holding” to get them happily settled in your home.
