One of my students recently sent a seller an offer, and the seller came back with a couple of concerns. The first one was over the limited power of attorney and the right to list the property on the MLS. It was going back and forth over email, so my advice was to get on the phone to clear things up. The other concern was over clauses in the contract giving the seller the right to terminate. The first thing I told my student was that all these signals indicate that you’re dealing with an unmotivated seller. If a seller isn’t motivated, it’s probably not a good fit for either party.Here, I cover the details of how we handled the situation, so you know how to handle it when it comes up in your own business. Talk to five sellers a day, and you’ll get better at this with practice. Remember, you can only do deals with motivated sellers. Be willing to go for no and walk away from those who aren’t ready to do the deal today. It sounds like reverse psychology, but it’ll help you do more deals.
