Has The Price Of Poker (Homes) Gone Up

By
Real Estate Agent 40CA1147997

Reading the local Real Estate Section of the paper this morning in The Greater Rochester Area there was an article offering a 100% buy back of a property if you used said companies agents.

Doing ten quick competitive marketing analysis's nine out of tem properties were higher in value than what they should sell for. While this could be good for a seller it also could be bad in the fact the appraisal is not adequate for the purchase price. For the buyer it could be good if within the time frame they sell it back to that company and the value has not held for one reason or another.

If the national franchises have this much money to play with maybe the agents are over paying to belong.

Good morning again Raymond. These things seldom work as promised and I don't know of any franchise that actually pays for this.

Raymond E. Camp Sounds like yet another bait and switch designed solely to get the phones to ring - then change the subject to what they really want to talk about.

I bet the phones will ring, but is it a good idea?  It is not feasible for any company to buy back homes.  The companies would be bankrupt in a short amount of time,  You have some people would push for the buyback just  because they had second thoughts of their purchase.

Would be my guess as well.

Hi Raymond.  These are never a good deal for the seller.  Never.

I see a few agents use these techniques. I know how it works and wonder if the sellers are smart enough to see through the smoke and fog.

If it sounds too good to be true, that is usually the way it will turn out. I don't see that they would have many takers.

I have to agree with Joe, if it sounds too good to be true, it normally is indeed!!!

Well, there is always a catch all those ''buing for cash''  or ''garanteed'' offers.

That is the item or items I am trying to find out.

I highly doubt that the buyback will be anywhere near the 100% appraised value.

Supposed to be the amount paid for the home!

Raymond - how can they afford to do that?  I can see the skepticism in the other comments.

Raymond any one with common sense will discover the small print that they will buy it at actual market or below market value at least that has been my experience....Endre
