I am assuming the seller listed it for that price because if you calculate what Zillow shows they paid for it and you subtract the six years they've owned it, the home is still overpriced. However the buyer's agent made a big mistake. She did not look into the value of the home before making a full price offer. The seller agreed to the offer. The buyer proceeds to spend $300 on an inspection then another $400 on … (17 comments)

You will encounter challenges like financing problems in the process, jittery buyers, and imbalance of power between a buyer and a seller and so on and so forth. … (0 comments)
