Naturally you will get different advice from different quarters. What you should do depends on your situation and how much the house is worth to you.I think that I'll arrange a viewing before the weekend. What other tips would ye give me?
Get someone calm and rational to assist you. Your sister might mean well but she doesn't sound helpful.There’s a pair of us in it!...my sister has been rotting my ear all morning about going in to the estate agents! I’m trying not to show my hand. Really it’s a great house (potentially) for me. Location is super (close to family & friends). She’s panicking that it might go before the open viewing-I think that’s unlikely
My brother thinks that I wear my heart on my sleeve when dealing with the Estate Agents and show my eagerness regarding the properties for sale-his advice to me is to slow it down. I tend to panic when the EA comes back with a higher bid and up my bid straightaway.
Go to the open viewing rathen than a private one. Observe other viewers and their reaction, eavesdrop. Don't comment on how much you like this or that, stay neutral. Ask casually to the estate agent if he has others similar to that one it shows you're interested but not particularly attached to that specific one.
This advice is all completely superfluous.
Estate agents aren't FBI profilers.
They just need to demonstrate to vendor that they've marketed the house well and get the sale through with as little hassle as possible.
They are not incentivised to squeeze the last drop out of you.
Viewers are not necessarily interested parties. They might just be nosey people. Don't adjust your bidding strategy after seeing the brand of cars other viewers drive. Stick to your budget and good luck.Went to my first (& last) open viewing ... lots of neighbours (& other interested) people in Audi’s there. I went round in a bit of a daze tbh. Anyway, the interior was nicer than expected (I was hoping that would put potential buyers off). A friend had gone to the earlier open viewing and said lots of interested parties there also ... he bumped into a good friend who came down from Dublin midweek to view with his wife! EA seems a nice guy (family have dealt with him lots before). He said that he’d expect offers to be in next week ... tbh, I’d say that it’s already started. As my friend said, this could go for silly money.
