Buyers today are having to make a decision. Are they willing to move quickly to purchase a home or do they want to wait?
Either route has its risks and benefits. 
Moving quickly means that you can beat out other buyers considering an offer on the home.  However, you may need to put in a full priced offer and … (3 comments)

canton ma real estate: Yes - Your Buyer Agent Can Show You Foreclosure Listings - 03/21/13 05:23 AM
Many first time buyers come to me very excited to look at foreclosures.  They're willing to put in some time and elbow grease to fix up a property if they can get a pretty good deal on it to start with.  They've heard there are a number of foreclosure properties.  
One of their first questions to me is....can you show me foreclosures?
Of course, as your buyer agent I can certainly show you foreclosures.  
However, there may not be as many foreclosures as you think there are - and many of them may not be suitable for you.
