Have You Ever Heard of This....... - 04/28/10 01:30 PM
There had been a property that one of my clients and I had been follwoing for a while.  It just came back on the market as a REO so he wanted to put in an offer.  When I contacted the listing agent she said that the first 7 days the bank would not be looking at any offers due to this being a "marketing period".  The next seven days only people planning to live there or non profit organizations could make offers.
