The truth is buyers can be nervous to make the first move. Like with any big decision, they’re weighing many factors and sometimes that can create decision fatigue where they freeze and you as the seller are stuck wondering why no offer has come through despite all the showing requests.
In this episode, Glen breaks down the ultimate strategy to pull interested buyers off the fence: The Reverse Offer. By drafting and sending a reverse offer to buyers, creating an offer deadline, and other strategies covered in this episode, you are taking the responsibility of the first move out of the buyer’s hand and getting the conversation, and maybe even bidding war, started.
