Offers

If your Realtor brings you an offer on your home, the tendency is to want to think it over or wait for a better offer.  This is a pretty typical response and a reasonable one however it is wise to understand that a buyer, especially a buyer with other options may not wait for you to make up your mind.  Even in a market where sellers have the upper hand of multiple offers you will not want to stress out the buyers because you could lose one of the best offers or risk losing negotiating power.  Before you sign off on the offer a buyer can pull out at anytime. For many buyers there is a period of time when they question if they placed the right offer amount, wrote an offer on the right house, etc.  To eliminate any cold feet or buyer’s remorse, it is imperative that you act promptly either by accepting, rejecting, or making a counter offer and begin negotiating.

    Only a few short years ago, even Real Estate Agents did not know what a short sale was!  My, how things have changed... 

    Banks have estimated that the majority of short sales will have been processed by 2014.  More than 1 in 4 of all homes are now backed my mortgages that are worth more than the collateral that secures them: the homes themselves! 

    The Department of the Treasury recently put out a new progam called HAFA (Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative), which should make things more standardized...
