I have been in the real estate for 20 years after finishing my MBA in Financial Management. My background in Finance and my understanding or different cultures and history (courtesy of my BA in Asian Studies) make me understand my client's needs both in the economic and sociological levels. Prior to working full time in Real Estate, I also taught in college for a couple of years so patience is a second character to me. I think our industry is the most misconstrued there is a lot of ignorance in what we are doing . I consider this job as almost paving the "Yellow Brick Road", the way where Dorothy can go back to Kansas complete with beautiful memories. My love of real estate is only superseded by my love of God, country(the USA) and my family.
And through peaks and valleys, I am here to serve my clients.

Are you looking for something under construction or a 1-yr old will do? - Wed May 7 2008, 17:50
Hi Doug,
The prices from Realty Trac do not reflect the selling price. Instead these are the amounts that the properties will foreclose upon. But this does not reflect the whole story because we don't know how many liens does the property have. - Wed May 7 2008, 15:18
Hi Chess Player,
Check Mate! The appraisal is a part and parcel of your loan application. The listing agent cannot just barge in and tell you that her "appraiser" has the value. It is your lender who decides which appraiser to use. And if you are using a mortgage broker, the ultimate lender will definitely order a review. However, do you want to go that far? Why don't you ask your agent to have the seller reduce the price by 200k. At this juncture, it will not behoove you to pay the amount that you "thought" the property is worth. Hang tough and make a DEAL!
Good Luck to you,

Hi David,
I agree with Thom. Please clarify from YOUR agent the latest scenario you are getting into. Furthermore, be very strict on your removal of contingencies so will not be left hanging dry. The change of buyer's name is not a weird concept but the excuse is a little bit flimsy. Also ask your agent to put the property back on the market if she put it as pending so you won't miss out on other buyers. At the same time, keep your positive outlook that this will close escrow -- it's all in your disposition.
Good Luck to You,
