What Size are Your BIG GIRL/BOY Pants ?
   Lots of parts of the country are experiencing the markets Realtors dream of....Buyers everywhere not only willing AND able to pay what a property is worth...but more importantly...ABLE to do it !
     There are multiple offers...multiple counters,  over asking offers...grateful letters that accompany offers...rent back options for Sellers...and the  list continues for Buyers to be the ones chosen to get the house of their dreams.  Some Buyers are stuck in the times of a Buyer's market ....wearing their "liitle pants" and forgetting that one of the "interesting things" about real estate is that times, prices, conditions...change !  Choosing an arbitrary price, adding inclusions that were not part of the listing, insisting on a closing date, offering little earnest money....have Sellers thinking that they will say "Bye" and not give the Buyers their opportunity to "Buy" their property.    Everyone loses.
     To be prepared in today's market ...means  BIG Girl or BIG Boy pants are ON !   That means....
- A recent pre approval is in hand from a trusted lender who has a reputation for honoring closing dates and other deadlines established in a purchase contract
- Decide on your priorities...What are the features most important to you and ... more
