rita fong: A Happy Ending for my Buyer who came out of a FSBO nightmare
- 09/08/11 09:40 AM
As a real estate agent, I tend to cringe when I hear someone wants to buy a FSBO house without an agent, especially if they are first time buyer. It is way too risky to enter a twilight zone like that without any proper guidance at all. I have a FSBO nightmare to tell today. I got a call from a young couple about a month ago, and wanted to see a very cute older home and they told me they were already pre-approved to buy. After meeting with them, they told me they were buying a house which was FSBO … (15 comments)

rita fong: Buyers and Sellers in today's market
- 06/29/11 04:48 PM
I am in real estate just turning my 4th year this year, I have already seen lots of changes in this business. I got in the business in 2007, when things started to turn upside down, then it went for the worse. Even the mentality of the public has changed so much in the last few years just amazed me. I remember the clients who I worked with didn't have to look at tons of houses before making a decision to make an offer or just plain looking. Sellers were more co-operative to let their house to be shown. I just wonder if they … (12 comments)

rita fong: Seller, think carefully before sending the counter offer out.
- 06/07/11 09:56 AM
Seller, your house is on the market for sale, you are hoping it will be sold in a reasonable amount of time. Better yet, you got a very nice offer in the first week after it is on the market. Yippee! I know it will be ideal to reach the goal of netting certain amount that you hope for. But, it is very hard to have a pre-approved buyer in today's market, if the offer is good and may cost you a little short from what you want to net, yet you are still ahead, think thoroughly before countering back for more money. Bear in mind … (8 comments)

You are planning to buy a house, you go to apply for a loan. Your lender ran your credit report, it looked fine, you were pre-qualified for X amount of dollars.
