Is this short sale property? do you know if any other offers are pending on this property?

Yes, the property is a short sale. Notes in the listing say that offers have been received and that the best has been submitted to the bank for approval. - Mon Jun 8 2009, 06:42

Question removed

Asked Fri Feb 6 2009, 14:49 by Rr  -  Home Selling in Beaverton  -  11 answers
Ron Ares answered:
I know this doesn't help much, but just 4.3% of the available inventory in Beaverton sold in the month of January. That's 50 homes out of a total of 1,161. The average price was $273,000, well below your home value. Your home is priced in the move-up market, which has been stagnant for many months.

But, activity is up, and you are getting showings, which is more than many listings can say. Take heart, it's just a matter of time. - Fri Feb 6 2009, 23:31
Jenerra, Home Buyer in Portland, OR

If I buy a home without a realtor, do I still pay a commission fee?

Asked Thu Feb 5 2009, 15:53 by Jenerra  -  Home Buying in Portland  -  14 answers
Ron Ares answered:
If you have not signed an Exclusive Buyer's Agency agreement with your first agent contact, you are not liable to pay a commission to anyone.

If the listing is in the local MLS, most (99%+) buyers are not charged a commission. The commission to the listing and buyer's agent is paid by the seller. So, if you have the listing agent write the offer on your behalf, he/she may keep all the sales commission paid by the seller (depending on the agreement between the seller and the listing agent). They aren't necessarily obligated to reduce the total commission if a buyer's agent is not involved. - Thu Feb 5 2009, 16:21
