We had a listing on H\u0171v\u00f6sv\u00f6lgyi Road, in a building consisting of just two apartments. The other apartment was being marketed by another real estate agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our buyer was interested in that apartment as well, so we got to know the other agent, who warned us right from the start:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 The owner is an interesting elderly lady. She doesn\u2019t sign anything.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They didn\u2019t even have a signed listing agreement with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was one other minor problem: I said to the agent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Set up a meeting for me with her.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the years, I\u2019ve learned that I can find common ground with almost anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You just have to find the right \u201cbutton\u201d to press. With some people it\u2019s travel. Others love animals. All I knew about this lady from the other agent was that she was diabetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So I turned up to meet her with a homemade cake free from all the ingredients she needed to avoid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n She made us coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And we started talking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It turned out that she was 89 years old and sharp as a razor.<\/strong> She could calculate VAT in her head faster than I had ever seen anyone do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It also became clear that she wasn\u2019t particularly motivated to sell the apartment. She had no relatives and no urgent reason to sell. She simply needed to pay the fees for the care home where she lived \u2014 and that seemed to be rather more important to the care home than it was to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I told her about some of my clients in their eighties who had found plenty to enjoy at that stage of life. Including my mother, who at 86 plays Scrabble every day and regularly wipes the floor with everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The rather stern and not particularly friendly expression she had when we first met gradually began to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, she softened. An hour and a half after I walked through the door, the lady who \u201cdoesn\u2019t sign anything\u201d signed a listing agreement specifically for our buyer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And our buyer bought the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lady was HUF 150 million richer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The cake was gone. A real estate agent doesn\u2019t need to find the key to the property. They need to find the key Thinking of selling your property?<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s talk. +36-30-940-0839<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We had a listing on H\u0171v\u00f6sv\u00f6lgyi Road, in a building consisting of just two apartments.

every time they brought her an offer, she raised the price\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then she started to smile.
By the end, we were laughing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The apartment was sold.
