Let me tell you about the time I wasted 3 weeks chasing a deal that never closed.
It started with a seller who seemed motivated.
He said all the right thingsโฆ
โ
โYeah, Iโm ready to sell.โ
โ
โJust send the contract.โ
โ
โLet me talk to my wife and Iโll get back to you.โ
โ
โJust give me a few more daysโฆโ
So I waitedโฆ
โฆand followed upโฆ
โฆand waited some more.
I was checking my email like a crazy person, thinking this deal was going to be the one.
But hereโs the truth:
๐ If you have to chase a seller, theyโre not motivated.
๐ If they keep stalling, theyโre not ready.
๐ If youโre always the one following upโฆ youโre not negotiating โ youโre begging.
That deal?
Never signed.
Wasted time.
Zero dollars.
And while I was chasing it, I missed another lead that was ready.
๐ง Lesson:
Motivated sellers donโt need to be convinced โ they need to be helped.
Now I use this mindset:
โIf I have to chase you, Iโm not the buyer for you.โ
Focus on momentum.
Focus on motivation.
Let go of dead weight.
Trust me โ the money is in the easy yes, not the never-ending maybe. ๐ฏ
