- 10/12/08 09:44 AM
Foreclosures are not always the best deals to be had. In fact, many times the best deals are to be had with an anxious seller who is willing to let some equity go or willing to go to the bank and ask for a short sale. Once the home has been through the foreclosure process, the REO department hires a realtor who runs the comps and prices at or around market.

sugar land: My Favorite Feedbacks!!!

sugar land: My Open House in Richmond Yesterday
- 03/15/08 11:40 PM
Yesterday I held a lovely Open House at my Royal Lakes listing in Richmond, TX. There were some wonderful people who came through to "take the tour". Many of them were just out driving and saw the signs and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to walk the inside of a 7,600 SF home. I don't mind at all.
