Over 60? Here’s How to Outsmart Lowball Offers & Maximize Your Home Sale
If you're a homeowner over 60 thinking about selling — whether it's in the next 30 days or the next 3 years — you need to know this:
Buyers are making assumptions about you. They're assuming you’ll take the first offer. That you’ll prioritize “easy” over “equity.” That you’re too polite, too trusting, and too ready to be done with it all.
And that assumption? It's costing sellers like you $20K, $30K, even $50K — unless you know how to shut it down.
In our latest video, Florida Real Estate Insider Tom McNamera pulls back the curtain on the exact strategies that helped one retired couple turn a $410K offer into a $440K win — with zero drama and no gimmicks.
But this newsletter isn’t a recap. It’s your next-step companion — packed with keywords, insights, and resources to take what you learn in the video and put it into action immediately.
🔑 Three Quick Truths That Could Save You Thousands:
1. “Motivated Seller” Is Not a Strategy. Language matters. Swap out weak MLS phrasing and project confidence in every word. One line — “Meticulously maintained, seller to review all serious offers” — can send bargain hunters packing.
2. Pre-Listing Inspections Are Power Plays. Don’t hide your home's flaws — own them. A clean inspection report (in a tidy kitchen binder) neutralizes the buyer’s favorite trick: exaggerating repairs to justify a lowball.
3. You’re Not Selling on eBay. This isn’t a silent auction. You get to set the rules. From reverse contingencies to seller-provided appraisals, Tom shares negotiation levers most agents completely skip.
