The enquiry

The enquiry arrived on 8 January 2025. A cautious buyer planned a budget of up to USD 100,000, but their funds were held in a bank deposit.

The team’s approach

The agent stayed in touch and resumed active selection as the funds became available. When the first chosen unit fell through, an alternative and its payment schedule were reviewed.

The outcome

The buyer signed the contract and made the first payment. The source describes a ten-month process and approximately USD 3,000 in partner commission.

Detail As stated in the account
Working period 10 months

What an agent can take from this

A qualified buyer may not be ready today. Respecting their timing and following up consistently matters more than manufactured urgency.
