“All of this is making it hard for agents to get buyers into their dream home” says Debra Batterson, a real estate agent at Dream Home Real Estate Inc in South King County. “Many prospective buyers will not win the listing. After they fail to win 5 to 10 homes that they’ve made an offer on they leave the market, they go into a area further away or they try and find something to rent.” she goes on to say.

“This is one reason why its so important to have the right agent working for you,” her business partner Zan Dewar says. “There are many other factors too, but if you dont have someone who can think out side the box, communicate quickly and effectively, and craft an offer that is the most appealing to the seller, you just wont stand much of a chance of getting the home you want in 2018.
