Why Some House Buyers Struggle & How to Stay in the Game

[Jeremy Beland]

Let’s be real: Not every deal is going to close. 

Some will slip through your fingers, sellers will ghost you, and contracts will fall apart at the last minute. It sucks. But what separates the top investors and house buyers from those who quit?

They don’t dwell on one deal. They focus on the bigger picture.

Here’s what keeps successful house buyers winning (even when deals fall apart):

**They don’t get emotionally attached to a deal
- A lost deal is not a personal failure. Sellers back out, timelines change, and circumstances shift. It’s just part of the game

**They have multiple leads & opportunities in play
- If you’re banking on one contract to make or break your business, you’re already losing. Marketing = momentum. Keep filling your pipeline so you’re never desperate.

**They adjust on the fly & don’t rely on scripts
- Every seller’s situation is different. If you’re saying the exact same thing to every seller, you’re probably missing opportunities to connect and provide real value.

Instead of worrying about being the “expert” or flexing market knowledge, focus on truly understanding the seller’s situation. 

What do they need? 

What’s the best solution for them? 

The better your solution, the more likely you are to get the deal.

Biggest Lesson: Deals WILL fall apart. It’s inevitable. But the best house buyers don’t let it slow them down. 

They learn from every loss, improve their process, and move on to the next opportunity.
