- 06/03/13 09:41 PM
I'll Sell You My Home IF I Get Visiting Rights! My Buyers' offer came in a little low, but it was all they could afford to pay. They loved the place. It was perfect for them. They wanted a place to run a few cattle and 3/2/2, didn't mind a gravel road and didn't want to have to work on it for a few years... it needed to be move-in ready. The Sellers had lived there for many years, there were so many memories ties up in different things.. when they put the fence up, when they built the barn, grandchildren … (66 comments)
buying a home: Is it OK to Take Photos While Viewing Homes For Sale?
- 03/26/13 02:09 PM
Is it OK to Take Photos While Viewing Homes For Sale? Well, it depends... You have an appointment to view homes and you want to be able to review the homes later at your leisure. Taking a camera and grabbing a few photos of your own sounds like a great idea. After all, the owners WANT to sell... they should encourage you to take photos if it will help sell the home, right?
BUT wait. Don't just stick the camera in your pocket, or count on being able to pull your phone out and click a few images for yourself. Practice good ettiquette … (87 comments)
It's not unusal to get asked that question a dozen times a day, either on the phone or in person. If not that question, then some version of it.
Will the seller take $X for the property? Is that price the bottom dollar price or will the seller negotiate? Will the seller take less for the property? My answer to all of these questions is always, "The way to find out is to make an offer."
There's several variations to the same question. These are fishing questions. But just like … (8 comments)

I pre-approved them: · Great debt to asset ratios. · He had had loans with a local bank over time and had always paid on time and paid the loans off. ·He had a good job with more than adequate income to make the payment. · Pays cash for vehicles that he buys. ·He's a good credit risk. · She was a stay-at-home mom with good credit history, · Utilities in her name, · She has credit cards with good pay.

buying a home: It's Even More Important to Choose Your Lender Carefully These Days.
- 07/10/09 12:34 AM
I had heard the horror stories of lenders dragging their heels to get to closing even after they had committed to a loan. Well, I can speak from experience now. This is for sellers and buyers in my area... please be aware that it's a lot tougher to finance a home these days. We recently closed one of these nightmares. It took the full 60 days to get to the closing and we had begun to wonder if we were going to get there at all. Now that might not be unusual for some but it was totally unusual in this case. … (2 comments)
buying a home: Strategy for Buying the House that You Really Want.
- 01/21/09 06:55 AM
1. Contact your lender about financing and get pre-qualified for a loan. 2. Call the listing broker/agent and ask about the house. Is it still available? What is the current asking price? Is the seller offering any concessions with that price? Is the seller willing to finance? If the seller is not offering any financing, ask the broker if they can supply lender contact info. If so, call lenders and compare with the info from your lender that prequalified you on interest rates and terms. Make an appointment to view the house. 3. Be prompt to your appointment. Bring a pad … (0 comments)
This past week I posted on “How Do We Go About Getting Property Under Contract” because that question is often asked.

Today I’m going to go over the first three paragraphs contained in the Oklahoma Uniform Contract for Purchase of Real Estate. Paragraph 1 - Legal Description Paragraph 2 - Purchase Price, Earnest Money … (1 comments)
buying a home: How Do We Go About Getting Property "Under Contract"?
- 06/06/08 01:17 AM
How to get a property "under contract"? I've been asked this question over the phone many times. To place a home or land "under contract" begins with your offer. Talk to the real estate agent about how much you want to offer for the property. He/She can help you by talking about what similar properties have sold for in the area. Sometimes people already know how much they want to offer. The real estate agent will do your paperwork to commit your offer to writing. An earnest deposit is made to show good-faith intention to complete the transaction. It lets … (0 comments)
