linda lipscomb: You Wanted To Lowball The Sellers. Don't Be Upset That You Didn't Get The House. - 03/21/12 09:41 PM
It seems in today's market, most of the offers are low-ball. Some buyers will make offers on
several before getting one accepted. Only after losing their favorite home and their second
choice do they seemed determined not to lose their third choice.

linda lipscomb: Why do Underwriters feel the need to play GOD? - 10/20/11 11:55 PM
Never have I seen more ridiculous requests from the underwriters!!!
Great post and I think most of our buyers are getting so frustrated with the process.

What is becoming painfully obvious is that some Underwriters seemed to have developed a God Complex. They are more than aware that the fate of a loan lies in their hands and they, in my lowly opinion, are asking for more insignificant information just to make … (3 comments)

It happens almost every day. When you work in the regional office of a major lender you hear a lot of stories. When your wife handles a large portion of the files you hear even more. I have certainly had my share of these, too, even when the buyers are instructed, warned and threatened ... it happens.

Love this!! What a great way to explain to buyers the need to get their financing in order before they start looking at homes.

Would you go grocery shopping if you didn't have any money? I would feel so foolish if I went into the grocery store, got a shopping cart, and starting looking through the aisles... gathering up food that I like, for buying consideration if I didn't have any money. Maybe I had brought a friend along that … (3 comments)

linda lipscomb: If you can’t afford the inspection you can’t afford the house! - 01/18/11 11:36 PM
Home inspections have become the norm!!!
However, buyers should interview inspectors to determine their experience, their knowledge, and understand exactly what they inspect. Not all home inspections are created equal. You are hiring them to work for YOU, make sure they meet the qualifications!!!

linda lipscomb: No, We're Not Closing Because....... - 07/30/09 10:02 PM
Well, I have a new excuse for a delayed closing.
I bet none of you have ever heard this one before.
So, here we go:
The underwriter called to say we must buy house numbers and install them on the home before they would fund the loan.
I thought it was a joke!!!!!
I have sold hundreds of home and have never had to install a house number.
Is this a new rule with Chase or Rural Development????
Needless to say....we got those three little numbers on the home today and are hoping for a close date of Monday.
The buyers were … (22 comments)

linda lipscomb: Rejected Offer - Can You Prove It? - 01/13/09 06:40 PM
Not sure about everywhere, but in Tennessee, we have a sales contract that has a place in which a rejected offer is signed by the seller. Don't most sales contracts offer you a place to "Accept, Counter or Reject"?
Well, why do banks and foreclosure companies think that don't have to abide by the rules?
My example: submitted an offer on a foreclosure property. Full price, cash, no contingencies. The listing agent was on vacation, so there was a delay in presenting the offer. When the listing agent returns to work, there are multiple offers on her desk. So, she calls and asks my … (13 comments)

linda lipscomb: My Hero - My Dad!! - 01/05/09 12:45 AM
My Dad has been pretty sick the last few weeks. A stroke several years ago has left him very fragile.
I visited him at the hospital today. As the doctors struggle to find the right medication to help him fight the infection from pneumonia, he lay there in a coma.
I sat bedside just staring at him. Thankful that he is my DAD. So proud of him. How much I have learned from him over the years. How many times he has said to me "You can do it"!
Dad has always been a risk taker. Starting his business in the 50's when times … (8 comments)

linda lipscomb: Would You Believe...... - 03/03/08 09:42 PM
This weekend set up a showing on a listing. The seller had packed the family and left for the showing. They return home 2 hours later, unpack the car, and low and behold the agent drives up to show their home. The seller was most gracious and answered all buyer questions, etc. They are finally gone. Then, I get the call. The seller is beside himself. Agent showed up with no information. Didn't know the number of bedrooms, square ft., or acreage. And further more, she had been lost for 1-1/2 hours. What excuse could there be for this lack of preparation. What … (7 comments)

linda lipscomb: Home Inspection - Shouldn't Be Deal Killer - 03/03/08 05:58 PM
You know, I don't really get upset with a home inspection report, it is what it is. However, today I received a repair list from the buyers agent requesting replacement of the HVAC. Now, this home is 20 years old and so is th unit. It works fine. Maybe it is on it's last leg, but the buyer knew the age when he bought the home. It really pisses me off when this happens, as if the buyer knew he wanted the unit replaced, he should have asked upfront so we could negotiate in good faith. This unit might work fine 5 more … (3 comments)
