If a buyer has these issues…👇 1️⃣ No real financing: • No solid pre-approval + no proof of funds = deal risk. Do this: Ask for updated pre-approval and proof of funds before you counter. 2️⃣ Tiny deposit + weird contingencies: • Low earnest money and long contingencies are an easy exit for them. Do this: Require a stronger deposit and short inspection/loan timelines. 3️⃣ Serial re-negotiator: • They “agree” to a price, then re-trade at inspection, appraisal, and repairs. Do this: Set boundaries in writing: repairs are health/safety only, no endless re-trades. 4️⃣ Slow + vague timelines: • Late signatures, slow replies, “need more time” means your listing goes stale. Do this: Give clear deadlines (24-48 hours) or move to the next buyer. Want to sell smarter in 2026 without wasting weeks on buyers who won’t close?
