I sincerely appreciate all of you for your time and giving me all your feedback. Thank you.
To further clarify:
1. YES i am a serious AND motivated buyer. If i can close in 2 weeks that would be great. The sooner the closing the better.
2. My Realtor is TOP 1% in the nation- and she is also a very nice lady, as ive already mentioned :) I am going to have a come-to-jesus conversation with her tomorrow and let her know what my concerns and ask her outrightly if she is too busy to take care of my needs. Her success is my success.
3. I have toured the city and been in showings on 3 weekends and I am set on 94105 and MAYBE 94107, depends on the street; ive seen properties along streets that cross 6th and im not exactly excited about that area.
4. If nothing pans out in the next 2 weeks I am planning to take another trip to SF and hopefully, i find THE one!
5. Even though I am excited to close soon, I am patient enough to wait for REO or foreclosures. like one of you mentioned, can be as long as five weeks.
6. I have spoken to a lot of people (hotel, cabs, restaurants, bars) - im that friendly :) and they all recommended realtors or some of the people i have spoken with are realtors. I have to admit, its very overwhelming. Yet i just need to shift my thinking. What im doing is just a process that i need to go through :) nothing more nothing less. In the process, even in this Q & A i have learned so much and I keep my self open to any possibilities or even a new realtor.
Thank you all once again and based on the additional information, as above, please keep those feedbacks / inputs coming.I look forward to it. And who knows, I might be working with one of you soon... - Sat Apr 26 2008, 15:07
