Ep. 111 | This Deadline Practice Is Destroying Your Offers

Are you rushing into real estate decisions just because of a deadline… and wondering if it’s actually costing you money?In this episode, Seth and Jenn break down one of the most common—but rarely questioned—practices in real estate: Sunday night offer deadlines. While they’re meant to create structure in competitive situations, are they actually doing more harm than good?Seth dives deep into the mechanics behind offer deadlines and reveals how poor timing can pressure buyers into emotional decisions, limit access to key advisors like lenders, and ultimately lead to weaker offers—or worse, deals that fall apart after “one sleep.”But it’s not just buyers who lose. Sellers may unknowingly leave better terms on the table, and agents? They’re stuck working chaotic Sunday nights only to revisit everything again on Monday.You’ll also hear a bold take on open houses—why they may be outdated, how they’re often used to attract unrepresented buyers, and when (if ever) they actually make sense in today’s market.This episode challenges the “this is how it’s always been done” mindset—and offers a smarter, more strategic approach that benefits everyone involved.⏱️ Episode Breakdown00:00 Real Estate Mechanics Intro01:40 Why Offer Deadlines Exist03:01 The Sunday Night Problem06:09 Buyer Stress And Psychology11:19 Seller Risks And Better Terms15:01 Make Monday The Deadline15:59 Agent Workflow And Sanity18:15 Open Houses Critique23:03 Wrap Up And Takeaways👉 If you’ve ever felt pressured by a deadline, questioned the process, or want to make better real estate decisions… this episode is for you.👇 Connect with us:👉 https://www.instagram.com/movingsuckspodcast/👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@millenniup👉 https://www.instagram.com/asksethanything/👉 https://www.instagram.com/januskygetsitdone/Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovingSucksPodcast
