plainfield il real estate: A Question TONS of Buyers Ask Me Regarding Final Price... - 02/21/12 12:30 PM
Recently I have had a lot of buyers ask "How close are home selling to list price?" I remember when I first got into real estate, homes were selling 3-4% of list price.

Yep - you read it correctly!
Last week I attended my home inspection with my buyer and the home inspector made a comment about the sump pump. We discussed it and my buyer knows he will replace it as soon as he moves in.
The day after the home inspection, the listing agent emailed me how the inspection went. I told him that it went really well and the only issue was the sump pump had really high water and that the inspector told me "If it rains, you need to come over and take this plug out and plug this … (0 comments)
