Art of The Deal

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

Home

You own a home and decide to sell it. There is a financial aspect and human kind aspect to the transaction.

Sold

You put in all the hard work to make the house look nice and then someone comes along and buys your house. The fire liked your house and has an emotional connection to it.

I Raise You

The next day, someone comes along and offers you more money for and better conditions.

Behind The Scenes

The buyers agent agrees to get take more money per accepting the terms.

We the sellers receive more money.

The original bidders I imagined are highly disappointed

It’s an emotional process within a transactional system.

There are winners and losers. I am somewhat uncomfortable with that.

    capitalism. The first bidder did not come to the table with the offer your property is worth (value being what the market is willing to pay) The 1st bidder can put in a counteroffer.

    This is a sharp and honest reflection on something people often gloss over.

    I really like how you highlight the tension between the transactional and the human sides of selling a home. It’s easy to focus on numbers and outcomes, but you’ve brought attention to the emotional undercurrent—the attachment, the hope of the buyers, and the quiet discomfort that can come with benefiting from someone else’s disappointment.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
