I have a client looking for a home out and away from the Atlanta Metro area. He sent me 7 homes that he would like to see this Saturday. No problem, I said. So I started setting up our appointments. I called the first agent and she said, nope we are under contract as of today. Rats. So on to the next. The agent says, nope, we will be under contract by this evening. Congrats I say. Rats.
So, I have left a message with the next agent and I am awaiting a call back. For those who believe the market is hot only in the metro areas I say nope. It seems that even in the less populated areas, homes are a hot commodity. The old saying, If you have to sleep on it, you will never sleep in it, seems to still be sound advice.
If you are looking for a home, have patience. Sometimes your agent gets a nope from the listing agent quickly. It almost makes you wonder what is wrong with those homes that have been listed for more than a week!
