Christina, Home Seller in New York

Question removed

Asked Fri Jun 13 2008, 17:00 by Christina  -  08087  -  Home Selling  -  16 answers
Gregory Bain answered:
Looks like everyone will give the PC answer to the FSBO problem - not me. This is how I work and you are not required to hire me. I show homes to buyers that meet their needs and wants. I pick from the huge inventory in the MLS. First, I see if my listings will fit their needs. Next, I see if my company (yes, 10 offices of inventory). Then I see if I can't meet their needs with other listings in the shared MLS (I belong to them by payment out of my own pocket to four mls - Ocean, Monmouth, TREND, Atlantic).
Now, if nothing meets their criteria for a home search and they have signed a buyers agent agreement to work with only me, I start looking at FSBO homes. I don't want to sell them your FSBO home, but if nothing else makes the perfect fit - I'll show your home after you sign an agreement to compensate me and the company where I hang my license. That's how I work.
Good Luck! - Wed Jul 23 2008, 21:30

What is the current market for waterfront homes in Sands Point Harbor?

Asked Sun Nov 18 2007, 17:53 by John  -  Waretown  -  Market Conditions  -  6 answers
Gregory Bain answered:
John, it is a buyers market for waterfront and upland homes. Great selection to choose from - but, don't miss out on the one you really like. Buyers Market does not mean you are the only buyer out there. Good Luck. - Thu Dec 6 2007, 20:04
Susan Tilden, Home Buyer in New Jersey

I went to see a home about 3 months ago with a realtor (whom I never signed a contract with) - the realtor

Asked Wed Oct 24 2007, 12:14 by Susan Tilden  -  New Jersey  -  Foreclosure  -  18 answers
Gregory Bain answered:
Susan, do you think you owe the realtor "something" for the work? The home owner may find out he owes the realtor "something" even if the wording on the listing agreement is not clear - neither is his conscience. Do the Right Thing. - Thu Dec 6 2007, 19:47
Joseph Newman, Home Seller in East Windsor

My Twin Rivers (East Windsor, NJ) townhouse was appraised in July of this year, in considering the downturn

Asked Sun Nov 25 2007, 12:43 by Joseph Newman  -  08520  -  Home Selling  -  7 answers
Gregory Bain answered:
Joseph, you have confused "market value" with bank appraisal. It happens all the time. Banks want to sell you money and the appraiser works for the bank - you pay, but the bank gets the benefit of the appraisal. Same is done with insurance. They sell you insurance for replacement of the property. That number is going to be different from the bank value. And tax assessment is for the town to collect taxes. Market value is what I think a buyer will pay you for the property. And, while I haven't seen the place or run any comparables on the type, size and location; I would guess it isn't worth the appraised value. Homes are selling every day. You must decide how much you want to sell. Good Luck. - Thu Dec 6 2007, 19:41
