You ran back for your AirPods. You forgot the dog was on the patio. You thought the showing was at 3:00, not 2:00. And now you’re standing barefoot in your own kitchen, eye-to-eye with a buyer’s agent and a couple in matching Patagonia vests. Welcome to one of the most awkward — and consequential — three minutes of your home sale.
Who Represents You Matters: Talk to Adam Timothy Group
Austin is not a simple market. A house in Tarrytown doesn’t price like a house in Allandale, even when they look similar on paper. A lot in 78704 can be worth meaningfully more or less than the lot next to it based on whether it’s in a flood plain, what the zoning actually allows, what the survey shows, and how the comp set has moved in the last 60 days. Multiply that across every neighborhood we cover, and the variance gets significant fast.

The Option Period Isn’t Optional: Why Last-Minute Repair Demands Don’t Hold Up
When we walk through with our buyers, we set expectations plainly. A walkthrough confirms whether something has been drastically changed, is visibly problematic, and was not previously disclosed. We tell our clients, only half-joking, that we are looking for dead bodies, dead squirrels, and walls that got punched through in anger on the seller’s way out the door.
We are not looking for things to use as last-minute negotiating ammunition. That’s not what the moment is for, and pretending otherwise is how good deals fall apart and reputations get spent.
