“Why did you say that in front of the seller?!”
You need to put on a united front in front of the listing agent. You have to play some mind games. You need to play hard to get. You can’t go in and just gush over the place – how are you supposed to get them to knock some dollars off the selling price like that? You can’t tell them what the other places you saw cost. You can’t reveal your hand. These are a bunch of unspoken rules you’ll only be aware of once you break them, and your partner gets mad at you in the car after the open house. There are a lot of ways to disappoint each other when talking to realtors, and you might accidentally do them all.
