Can someone justify this?
I want to hear from other agents how you as the listing agent would handle this? I know that the offer has been accepted, so we definitely can't change that. I'm just more interested on the mindset of the situation.
There was a listing that went live around 1pm today. We knew it was going to go fast, so clients and I went to go see it this afternoon and were working on getting in an offer. The listing agent had it pending on the MLS by 6:45. I know it's a good area, price and all that jazz but wouldn't it be in the best interest of the seller to leave the listing live for more than 6 hours before accepting an offer? The MLS notifications go out at 8am every morning, so anyone with daily updates hasn't even received the listing yet.
So my question is, would you accept an offer on a super hot listing within a few hours or would you give it a little more time and/or do a multiple offer notification?
