foreclosed homes: Local Lake Ridge Virginia Couple Learns The Hard Way The Move Up Market Is Competative!. - 08/18/11 01:48 PM
It was back in May 2011 that Erick Blackwelder ( my partner) was showing homes to one of clients. They had been looking for just the right home. They found several that they liked.

 
 
House #1:
This is a home they bid on, and they lost. The buyers wanted most of their closing costs paid for and another buyer did not. The buyer that won this bid offered at least $10,000 more than list and did not ask for any closing costs.
 
Lesson #1: put your best foot forward when making an offer on a Foreclosed Home.

foreclosed homes: It's Bad News Friday...."The Caller Thinks They Are Dropping a Bombshell....." - 08/12/11 08:42 PM
