Real Estate Cancellations: When Communication Could Have Saved the Deal
Real estate cancelations are tough—but they’re even harder to swallow when you know the deal could have been saved with one simple thing: communication. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the best practices & etiquette for real estate cancellations, and how better communication could have changed everything.
Alissa shares a real-world example of a listing she was managing, where the buyer backed out unexpectedly—via text—with zero phone call, zero repair request, and a whole lot of incorrect assumptions. What followed was weeks of emotional chaos, a seller left in the dark, and a very expensive full circle moment… when the original buyer came back and paid $15,000 more for the same house.
In this episode we cover:
- The proper etiquette for canceling a contract
- Why professionalism matters even in tough conversations
- How to keep clients grounded and informed
- What to do when you’re on the receiving end of a cancelation
- How communication (or lack thereof) impacts deals, trust, and reputation
