If your agent suggests to you to submit your offer with more favorable financing and then change your financing later, don't do it. Unless, you … (0 comments)

As real estate agents we price our listings according to the recent market sales and should put in a little extra to keep up with the increasing values during the process. Apparently, the lenders are taking the market activity and increased values too seriously. I have the buyer on one that the listingagent listed for $128,500 and the recent comps still support that price … (0 comments)
