Episode notes
Use Unsigned Backup Offers Carefully
- Keep the qualified buyer moving instead of creating unnecessary uncertainty with simultaneous contracts.
- If needed, retain a signed backup offer from the second buyer without signing it yourself.
Sellers Care Most About The Number
- Subdividing lets investors pay closer to market value because the landâs highest-and-best-use creates additional value.
- Sellers primarily care about their proceeds, not promises about agents, closing costs, or improvements.
Communicate Like A Direct Buyer
- Communicate as a direct buyer rather than trying to sell an elaborate story.
- Andrew often converts high-ticket deals in under 25 total minutes across several concise calls.
