I recently listed a foreclosure and have agents calling hourly/daily to show it.  We have a offer now but the bank wants to wait a little bit until all the current showings are done and I am sure they are in hopes to get a higher better offer.  I dont blame them, I would do the same.  This particular local bank buys their foreclosed homes, hires a local contractor to fix or make it show better.  On top of that they put thier homes on the market at fair market value.  I like the fact they are helping local contractors and improving the homes they now own.  Their theory is, if they fix any problems they see, the more likely to get better offers and lose less money.  Of course not all banks do this.   ~Smart Bank~  

Standing out in the crowd.

I feel for the home owners out there that have their Homes on the market at a fair price and have their home in tip top shape but the buyer will buy the foreclosure over another just because it was named a foreclosure.  This has happened to me last year.  They think in their minds what a great deal they got and can't wait to show the family and friends and yes brag a little bit.  Look what we got and I only paid $____

I think its human nature to feel good about your decisions but I tell my clients just because its a foreclosure does not mean its a good deal!  It has blows me away just how us humans act or re-act in life.

The foreclosure's get more exposure just because of the name, so they stand out in the crowd.  I work very hard on my listings and I know Price is king but some great homes are being over looked because they don't have that majic namel

~ FORECLOSURE ~

Now, how can I get all my listings to stand out in the crowd like the foreclosures and sit back and let the phone ring?
