If you’re a Realtor or seller, you’ve dealt with them.
Buyers who sound ready… but never actually move forward.
They’ll say things like:
“I’m a cash buyer”
“We’re just waiting on the right opportunity”
“We’re serious, just taking our time”
And then weeks go by… no offer, no movement, just time wasted.
