Why would a seller say yes to an option?

  • I know why we want to take hold of the property but I still can’t wrap my head around why someone is willing to put a 30 60 or 90 hold on their house. What’s the selling point or advantage to them? How do you present the case to the owner so he/she gets a realistic understanding and is willing to sign the contract.

    Thanks,

    If you have a good buyer’s list, you will not need more than 30 days for the option period.

    Ask the seller to give you 30 days – they have nothing to lose.

    Renata:

    Most realtors want to tie up your property for 6 months. Most options you are giving something to the optionor (usually some cash). I don’t know any realtors doing that. Since you are in this deal to make money and this is your business, you can convey to the optionor a sense that the option will get exercised and they will be paid off.

    Just some thoughts.

    Yes, a good buyers list. But in this market! Don’t you want to have a lease option for say 36-48 months and hope for gain in property value?
