I have only had one Seller in my entire career ask me to let people know how desperate he was to sell. He instructed me to say:
"Seller is on the roof and won't come down til it sells - must sell in 10 days!"
He put his instructions in writing and to this day, he still tells the story of how HE got his place sold in 8 days!!

I think it means the seller and/or agent is desperate. With no price change in 100 days, one can question how motivated the seller really is.

Such remarks are meaningless for me. The agent knows that the price is firm and wants ''any''=low offers to help at least reduce it.

When I read that I cringe! Unless the seller has instructed you in writing to to make a statement like that I would not be using this technique. It sounds so desperate!

Paul S. Henderson, Realtor, Tacoma Washington sometimes the listing agent thinks that this will sell home. I think this usually hurts the sale.
Specially, a motivated seller would definitely adjust the price in 100 days at least once, if really motivated.

if it's in my remarks the seller has requested it be there and signed a statement to that effect.

It means the seller will accept well below asking price. I don't consider this a good marketing method.

Motivated says desperate, but no price adjustments say they are not in a hurry.

I'd say desperate comes to mind. No price change though, not that desperate! Probably has no clue it's in the agent remarks.

I think it means desperate agent who is saying "get this dog off my hands".
I doubt the seller knows this language is in the mls agent only remarks.

It means they are desperate to sell quickly and willing to take a discount...at least that's the impression it gives.

if i were a seller, and the agent didnt tell me, and i didnt instruct him to do so, i would be upset...

Maybe they know maybe not. My guess is that the seller has instructed the agent to list high for "negotiating room" and the agent is trying to let everyone know.

Paul,
Too often it means there is a major problem with the property or the seller. Sometimes the listing is about to expire and the listing agent is desperate. I doubt the seller always authorizes this language or knows about it.

Paul S. Henderson, Realtor, Tacoma Washington Since the seller hasn't priced the property to sell, this sounds like a come on to get an offer. Motivated to see offers, but not motivated to price it accordingly.

I don't like this technique and think it is not in the seller's best interest. The price is the best indicator a seller is serious and that is the tool to convey the message that the seller is going to sell this home and means business.
I think it means the agent is desperate and may be about to lose the listing.

Paul,
I don't think it is a good way to market, nor is "priced to sell!". As a seller, I would be unhappy. A

What's bad is that most of the time when we make an offer on one these ....they end up coming down very little ....I always ask the agent ....why did you stat that they were motivated?
3,071,489

I look at this a little differently. Initially desperate comes to mind, but more-so an inexperienced agent to add to that. No price change, not that desperate! The DOM and stiff price might scream stubborn seller as well.
5,104,931
It means nothing to me. I've actually had sellers say to me to put that into a listing. Usually because their price was too high. I've also found that the seller who tells me he's negotiable and just bring an offer isn't and the one who says they aren't neogtiable caves to the first offer.

Good morning Paul. I am always selling homes that we purchased, renovated and put back on the market. It doesn't matter the offer that someone makes, for me I see it as a place they want to start, it is where we end up that matters.

Paul - To me, it sounds like a desperate agent who needs to sell their listing.
6,393,609
It could mean the seller is ready to move, but more likely means that someones listing agreement is about to expire.

If the days on market weren't enough of a telltale this statement might conjure up an offer at a starting point previously thought unacceptable.

Some home sellers would not want to see that statement in the marketing materials.

In Colorado a listing agent better have permission to write this in the MLS. Sounds like seller is rather desperate.
1,525,616
I would hope the seller knows as I give my sellers a copy of the MLS sheet and keep them posted. I think it sounds desperate to some people and may be a turn off.

He hires you as a professional. You put in private remarks or public remarks
any where as you and mls board see fit.

In this example the seller has elected NOT to negotiate with himself but is making clear the willingness to negotiate.
A serious buyer should be able to interprete the offer properly which is "Let's talk!"
1,577,943
That's interesting, I'm not sure. The truth is, our job is to get an offer on paper, then we have something to talk about.
