Is there any thing that can be done to speed up the bank's response to a purchase offer on a short sale?

Asked Fri Jul 18 2008, 08:17 by Diana Rainis - Washougal - Home Buying - 5 answers

Dan Therrell answered:

In my experience, the "short" answer is no. Dealing with a short sales is a lot like playing poker. You have to be calm and steady (patient to the extreme) and know your hand.

Just be sure you made your offer as simple and attractive to the bank as possible, since there are frequently multiple offers with all kinds of terms and conditions. The most straight-forward offer may not be the highest offer, but allows for a quicker transaction close once accepted.

All the best,

Dan

how soon is an agent required to put a MLS home on the market? IT seems when I find a house, it already has

Asked Fri Jul 18 2008, 06:38 by Ginger - All locations - Home Buying - 4 answers

Dan Therrell answered:

Many properties are sold before they even hit MLS. If it's a really good buy in a great neighborhood, real estate agents will be showing it to their buyers within hours of hearing about it.

As noted by the previous answers, you will be well-served by getting hooked up with a real estate agent who will be your eyes and ears. They can alert you about new listings, and even preview the properties to be sure they are suitable for your needs.

Also, it's essential to get pre-approved for your financing, so you'll be ready to make an offer as soon as you find the house you want.

I just foud out that the person who built my house ran his company out of the same real estate agency I hired

Asked Mon Jun 9 2008, 23:05 by Kate - Alabama - Home Buying - 4 answers

Dan Therrell answered:

Hello Kate,

It is quite common for builders to employ in-house real estate agents to sell their homes. It is also common for small builders to have a real estate license or have a close relative in the real estate business. While Alabama Real Estate law does require disclosure of relationships, you did not mention why you were dissatisfied. Do you feel you did not get a fair deal?

We're thinking about buying in Sail Boat Bay condos (Gulf Shores).

Asked Fri Mar 7 2008, 10:32 by Geoff - Gulf Shores - Quality of Life - 6 answers

Dan Therrell answered:

Hello Geoff,

It is a great time to buy in this area. Prices are low and Baldwin County is growing. I'm sure, if you've been here in he last few years, that you'll agree the area has a lot to offer, and Sailboat Bay is in an outstanding location for boating of any kind! You might consider using a Buyer's Agent, to work any real estate transaction in your behalf.

Best wishes,
