Let’s talk about MAKING deals today. This is different than “presenting” offers. Making Deals implies ACTION. Presenting offers is passive. Deal Maker’s show 3 qualities which make most people uncomfortable.
A Deal Maker is:
- Decisive – They can decide quickly what they’ll offer. Deals don’t wait. They move quickly.
- Bold – They take on more risk when buying “as-Is.” That’s how they win better deals.
- Annoying – Offer “presenters” email the offer and never sent a follow up email, let alone a phone call. (think, weak, newer agent who hasn’t learned the game & has zero confidence in their offer). Deal Makers FOLLOW UP after the offer is made. They are borderline annoying, but, you remember they made that offer, you remember the exact purchase price they offered, and, of course, you know their name because they just keep showing up. This annoying persistence MAKES deals.
A lesson on Deal Making from the Bible, Luke 11:5
5. Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.
9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
In those days, when a traveler arrived at your home from afar, it was the custom to feed them immediately. Imagine, it’s like 3:00 am, and you have to go knock on your neighbor’s house to ask for bread. Â Sounds annoying, right? Yet, you knock, they say no. You knock again, they still say no. You knock a 3rd time, they say “Yes”.
The Greatest Deal Makers live this Biblical principle. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

Worth noting, we routinely accept Offers that are NOT the highest dollar amount. The strength of these deals is certainty. Buyers who place large, non-refundable earnest money deposits, waive inspections, and close quickly win those deals over slow closing, due diligence heavy offers which are expected to die, or at minimum, renegotiate the price prior to close. I’d accept the offer from the known Deal Maker at a lower price over a “presented” higher offer any day of the week.
