People who view will change their mind and drop their offer at the last minute, what difference does it make?Ashworks said:We're buying in a sought after area and got ours for 5% under asking as the sellers needed a quick sale and we were about to be chain free. So its worth a go, but I agree with others that I wouldnt have even considered an offer from someone who hadn't viewed. How do they know you wont change your mind? And then in the meantime they may have missed out on offers from committed buyers.0 -
