Low Balling Offers- Why Do Buyers Do it? - 09/14/10 12:01 AM
A well written blog that I wanted to share. The most important point.... You are always protected by your appraisal! Every bank requires an appraisal to give you a loan, so it is IMPOSSIBLE to overpay for your home unless YOU choose to.
Via Stephen Munson (Munson Realty):

How is the family that were forced out of the home doing? - 09/08/10 04:58 PM
That was the comment left on my blog about a One West and Green Tree short sale I recently completed... by an anonymous user named "congrats" when I woke up this morning. I wanted to delete the comment immediately because it offended me. Instead, I decided the attempt to discredit my efforts as a Certified Distressed Property Expert, was an opportunity to blog about how my sellers are doing after the fact. Contrary to the belief of "congrats", they are typically WAY better than they were... drowning in the debt of a home they can no longer afford.

I am offended because this seller has been a … (5 comments)
