Heard for room rental OK….else attract lowball buyers whahaha

Normal lah. Just ignore. If they wanna lop 20% off your market-priced flat they can go take a long walk off a short pier. You’re not obliged to accept offers you don’t like, just say thanks and you’ll think about it.

For direct buyer-seller case, it should be quite straightforward assuming they know what need to be done.

But if it is a contra case for one of the parties, then it can be complicated.  The timing and paperwork for all 3 parties have to be aligned correctly.  Expectations and anxieties have to be managed for all 3 parties.

Property can contra? Wait for buyer to sell his existing?

I think the difficult part is the showsmanship and price negotiation.

If u are already a talented conman or your unit is very easy to sell at reasonable pricing.

Im a terrible liar…..scared buyers ask me why i wana sell (truth is hell neighbours for eg.) whahahaha

Also need to entertain lowballers and keep yr cool not to shout 4letter word whahaha

I tried to sell my car last time via sg carmart for 3mths and gave up trade in to dealer whahaha

 

Your car must be cold door type or asking price too high. My cars were all sold with 2 to 3 days (for export) and another one sold for my friend as well. Of course conditions all not bad one and low mileage. One or 2 I saw no chance one I didn't even bother to advertise, just sent straight to scrapyard.

Correct, if you want to sell your own place, dont be emotional, just be effective.  People will say what they say, just smile

Actually even you have an agent, buyers would still ask you why you want to sell your house. The only difference is agent would tell the buyer on your behalf.

Contra is the person who needs to sell and buy and they want their transaction to be transacted at the same time smoothly, usually due to the person needs the money from selling their flat to pay for their next flat. So timing to submit for selling and buying must time swee swee, if not the sales proceed from the selling cannot go back to CPF on time to pay for the purchased flat.

Also contra only one party can submit. So if you are doing contra, you cannot find a flat that the owner also doing contra at the same time. 😂

Some owners they let agent to handle the entire viewing process, when buyers go view house, you cannot see the house owner at all. So 2% maybe quite worth for them, cause they let the agent run the whole show. Think the only time owner appear to show face is during the HDB appointment. Now even during the buyer OTP phase, both parties no need to meet also can.  😅

Like that only 3  direct enquiries? Looks like people still don't trust direct sellers?! 😅 They rather go to car dealers to buy and pay few k ex?

As i personally prefer to deal with the seller (as a buyer) , i trust that like minded people (buyer) would prefer to speak directly to seller.

My sales pitch is always honesty and as the person who has owned and lived in that property i can share meaningful experiences and answer any question from the buyer.    To do that, seller must be objective and leave ego outside the room regardless of how the buyers act.

There will be differences in views and opinions and taste, let it be. But facts will remain facts

At the end of the day, i rather sell to someone i prefer, than not.  As much as to buy from someone i prefer, than not.
So as little agent input as possible is how i prefer it.  
buyer and seller have that solid understanding and agreement by open two way communication for a win win deal.      

😎✌️👌

Whether the seller has an agent or not, there is always needed some chemistry between the potential buyer and the seller, then the deal will closed. usually seler has the upper hand to choose which buyer they want to sell their house to. Sometimes it is not entirely about the price. Maybe the buyer can offered the price that the seller wants, but the seller might rather sell the house to another buyer even few k lower.
