Boneheaded buyer move

Here is a quick insight if you happen to be interested in buying the lot or home next door.

Don't contact the seller or the seller's listing agent directly!

Do not let the seller know you have any interest in their lot until you've talked to an Exclusive Buyer's Agent!

Here is the background:

1. If you are buying a property next to your current home, you are obviously doing it because of the location.

2. There are very few properties next to your current home.

3. Once the seller knows this your ability to negotiate effectively is lost.

Here is the better way:

Contact an Exclusive Buyer's Agent (A real estate company who only works for buyers, never sellers so they avoid all the conflicts of interest) and get their input on buying strategies. There are a number of them but I'm not going to post them here because a seller could read them and then they wouldn't do either of us any good!
