What is the percentage of signing contracts on the first meeting over a follow-up meeting.

And how often do you raise your offer?

In principal I agree with @Delondon Dear. I tend not to even go look at a property unless I am pretty sure the seller will go for a price that will work for me. It doesn't always work that way because I don't know the condition of the property until I get there.

If it works out at all, I would guess about 50% of the time I get the deal on the first visit.

I don't know that my experience is at all typical because I tend to do more complex deals. One that settles next week has been in the works 10 months.

It also would depend on your philosophy. I tend not to put something under contract unless I know I can perform. Many people will put anything under contract at any price and hope they can wholesale it. If they can't they use a contingency (weasel clause)to walk on the deal.
