Entitled Buyers (by Ray-N-Pa [PA]) Posted on: Sep 30, 2024 7:35 AM

I sold a unit on Friday and these folks were over the top for even a post C-19 world. They wanted me to prove that the power company was indeed qualified to work on the meter base. Earlier they wanted to question its load management practices. These are power company issues not a Ray issue, but these first time buyers were incredibly though.

I normally try to spoon feed my buyers by helping them out with a list for shifting of utilities. The power provider here is a Co-op so membership registration (in person) is required. With them being such a PITA, I "accidentally" forgot to give them this info. I drove on by the place on Sunday and the lights were still out for some strange reason after I turned off the power after closing on Friday.

What shame - they were not moving in this past weekend. I am sure the power company will gladly bend over to help these folks out after twice you question there training and quality of work.

So maybe it is just me, but it seem since I have had two buyers of places this past five or so weeks - both seem to come across as over the top.

The first buyer (of a different house) claimed a new roof was between $28,000 and 35,000. My contractor told me numbers about half that amount. I surprised the buyer when I said, he had a deal - no not on the $35,000 price discount but on me getting a new roof installed and increasing the sales price by $35,000. They didn't want that at all. In the end, I gave them about $7,000 or $8,000 discount in price.

Is anyone else noticing entitlement creeping into the buyers spectrum? It is still a sellers market here, but fall is here and soon that lake effect snow will be dropping. --24.101.xxx.xxx

All of the flipping shows on TV don't help. They show houses offered for sale that are completely renovated and perfect inside so that is what inexperienced buyers expect. --76.178.xxx.xxx
