A Buyer You Don't See Too Often

I have had many different types of buyers, but take a look at this one.  This one came up to my porch checking out the house I had.  I don't think many of us have dealt with buyers like this one. 

        Squirrel on top of house

                 "Hmmmmmmm.  Doesn't look like there are any leaks here."

                 

                                   Squirrel on railing

                                                "Nice large yard with some shrubbery."

Unfortunately, I lost this buyer.  Needless to say, he opted to live in the tree in the yard, instead.  What can I say, I tried.  At least I can say that I don't discriminate.

Adorable :-)

Did ask the ever important questions:  "Are you working with another agent?"  "Have you talked with a mortgage lender?"

And like most buyers, he came house shopping without a check to write earnest money.

Looks like he went "nuts" over that property! I guess you didn't have time to get a buyer-brokerage agreement, huh?

At least he looks pretty harmless. It could have been a big ol' black bear wanting a home to hibernate in.

Cute post. Recently the NY Yankess have been showing "A Pole Home" to him. I think he bought it because he is there for every Yankee game now. Sorry you lost out on that buyer.

Looks like you brought the right food to your open house.

Hmm ... I've had buyers like that before. They scurry into your open house eat all the food and slide back out the door without a thank you.

or

you spend days showing them quaint little houses in the suburbs and they call back having just bought a home in the country

or

well you get the idea :-)

Now you can advertise what nice neighbors come with the home.

Kris:

No, he wasn't working with an agent.   

Lenn:

Of course!  Isn't that how buyers usually do it????

Al:

By the time I got back with the paperwork, he was gone.  The nerve.

Michael:

I would rather deal with a cute and fuzzy, one like this little squirrel, than a big bear.  But then again, I cannot discriminate.  If a bear comes along, I must deal with him, too.

Derrick:

Sometimes you lose some buyers.  This one I lost to a FSBO.  I guess the birds had a better deal for the tree.

Shaun:

The food certainly did attract the buyers.  I don't understand why this particular buyer did not purchase it.  It came complete with a year's supply of food.

Toby:

Been there, done that.  Maybe I should stop serving gourmet food.

Virginia:

That should attract some more buyers.  This one is a better neighbor than the bear. 

Rob:

Sorry to disappoint you, but the roof is new.
