Sellers remorse, to sell or not to sell, that is the question
By Larry Stoller

Sometimes I’ll list a home, have beautiful photographs taken, write captivating descriptions, schedule showings, get ready for offers … and then find out that the sellers are experiencing sellers remorse.

Sellers Remorse (SR) means that the sellers have second thoughts about selling their home. Usually that happens because they were not really motivated or they do not have a better place to go to. So they think that it was a mistake to list their home.

One way to prevent SR is by being prepared and having a bullet proof plan. That boils down to knowing why you want to sell, believing that now is the right time to sell and knowing where you are going to go after you sell.

Some sellers know exactly where they are going, those who don’t, may decide to rent for a while, and others who are waiting for their new home to be ready may utilize a contingency to buy some time (they may do a lease back, move the closing date back a bit, or a combination of both.

Since it is a seller’s market, buyers are much more willing to accommodate sellers to make the transaction a win-win for both parties. Experienced real estate agents know how to add terms to a sales contract that will make both sellers and buyers happy.

For example, a client of mine in Sun City thought that she was ready to sell about two years ago. But after thinking about it and weighing all the benefits and drawbacks, she decided that that was not the time to sell. When revisiting her plan, she decided that now was the right time to sell. She did and it was a good decision.

If home sellers are worried about not finding a suitable replacement home, they may add a contingency to their sales contract that gives them a sufficient period of time to find and move to another home. I am seeing a lot of these contingencies lately.

And in our sought after Low Country real estate market, these contingencies seem to work well!

What our clients are saying  

We chose Larry Stoller to be our listing agent for our condo in Bluffton South Carolina based on a recommendation from a neighbor who had also used Larry’s services. We could not have been happier with the results. Great communication, flexible commissions, quick sale (3 days!), and a great attitude and helpful knowledge. Larry and Valerie are a great team and we highly recommend them for any of your real estate needs. Thank you,

 

~ Jeff & Mary Lou Muckleroy

Larry and Valerie helped me sell my house. If you are looking for the personal touch then these real estate professionals are the ones. They went above and beyond what usual big outfits give you. If you are looking to sell and/or buy a house, then Larry and Valerie are who you need to call. I don't just hand out recommendations, they have to be earned. And they earned mine.

 

~ Zack Southwick, Bluffton, SC

Valerie and Larry, thank you so much for the excellent marketing, selling and timely closing of our home. Your efforts were immediate, well planned and executed. As a result, the responses came quick and at a greater price than we anticipated. All this occurred with a very can-do and friendly attitude. We would be happy to recommend your services as we have already. Thanks again for helping make our dreams come true.

 

~ Jim & Fran Cason, Bluffton, SC

We've sold six houses in the past 17 years and Larry was hands down the best agent we've used. We were very impressed with the way he got the job done. He was always available to answer questions and stayed in close contact with us during our selling process. Larry is easy to work with, and we could tell that he definitely had our best interest at heart. I would not hesitate to recommend him and would use him again in the future.

 

~ Matt & Beth Nielsen, Bluffton, SC

Valerie and Larry did an excellent job of getting a buyer for my house. I was very pleased with their services. They were always prompt and on time when they made appointments. Their feedback was very helpful. It was like getting two realtors to get the job done instead of one. I highly recommend them.

 

~ Ann Gibson, Sun City Hilton Head, SC

We met Larry about a year ago and with his incredible assistance we were able to purchase a home in The Haven in SC. He was always available to us to answer the never-ending series of questions we had. Being from out-of-state, he gave us a working knowledge of the area and provided us with all the information we needed to make a suitable offer on the property. His work with us continued even after we closed on the property, with assisting us in finding a quality renter until we were ready to move. I consider Larry to be an A+ realtor and would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
