Clarence,
If you looking in the city,and want a townhouse on the water, you have to visit the Overlook. Brand new, Fan style homes with incredible views of the James River. Only a few left.
Before you come to town, conact me. We're experts in the area.

Alvin...
Interview with a lot of companies and ask a ton of questions. Most all companies will hire anybody. They have nothing to lose and you have everything to lose by joining the wrong firm.

I created a list of questions for agents to ask on an interview.
Email me if you'd like them.

We Buy House

Jeff Mays answered:
If you sell your house to a company trying to buy it quickly:
Ask them:
If they can assign your contract to another party without your aggreement? (Agree to buy your house at x then they sell to someone else for x plus$..that's their profit)
Ask if they have the right to market the property for sale prior to closing with you? (Basically, they're trying to flip your house before they close on it)

The best way to get top dollar is to offer it to the most buyers...so try putting it on the market first with a full service, full time real estate professional. If that doesn't work out...then give them a try. It's always an option.

There are some very legit companies that buy properties...just make sure you know all the facts. - Sun Apr 20 2008, 12:41

John...Always answer you phone...be persistant in a good way...always try to educate agents about different loan programs...use agent and client testimonials...make sure you are the expert by learning everyday...comunicate/update the listing agent and you'll impress them...ask the agents how can I help improve your business,not just here's my rate sheet and I want a loan from you...visit open houses on the weekends...contact site agents and builders...make sure you're offering the best rates and service...have agent seminars and teach them...have fun! Smart question. - Thu Apr 17 2008, 01:58
