We insult buyers

[James McGovern]

I have received multiple calls for a property I am selling at 54 briarwood, newington CT. As an investor I have been amazed that people would waste energy attempting to purchase at 230k when a more reasonable number that would be acceptable is 290k. Is margin a good enough reason to insult homeowners?

It's business.  They want to buy it for the lowest they can, you want to sell it for the highest you can.  It's not personal.  When you bought the place originally was your first offer over the asking price?  Probably not.

No is a complete answer.  If any offer is not acceptable for you, a simple NO response is all that's needed.  People lowballing obviously works otherwise they wouldn't do it.  For the 10 that say no, they only need one yes to be very profitable.
