I need sellers who really want to sell their home. I have some first time home buyers who are so anxious to purchase a home and hope to do so while they can still get the First Time Homes Buyers Credit… You wouldn’t think it would be that hard…Wrong!
After hearing several agents who have short sales tell me they have offers after offers turned in to the banks, it has been months and the bank has still not made a decision yet….So we have moved on…. We have submitted offers on homes that are a bit over priced, but the home owners want their price….and after already have 3 homes not appraise that should have…I am really scared to have them do that, and they look at the comps and agree…the home owner is asking too much.
We had a home owner verbally agree to our offer….Finally!!! The agent was going over that evening to get her signatures….I contacted him the next day…(hadn’t heard from him…)….Well…..she is re-thinking it. She has had her home on the market for 3 months, and she thinks she would like to wait till next spring before she sells… But, don’t worry, he is going to get her to sign…have your client lock in their rate…let them give a 30 day notice…she is going to sign….. Well….She didn’t!
Since my clients are doing a VA loan…the home they will have to buy has to practically be move in ready. The VA is obviously against anyone getting a deal on home that needs a stove and carpet and paint. I am not sure exactly what VA requires because I can’t get an appraiser to talk to me for love or money.They don't return calls and they don't answer emails.
It is amazing that we have that many homes on the market in their price range…but banks can’t make a decision.home owners that really don’t want to sell, agents are letting the homeowners overprice these listings for the sake of a listing. ….Don’t even get me started on HUD homes…I just hate that process!
I have a qualified buyer….ready to go….wanting to close as fast as they can…who is willing to do a little work if the right home needs it...but we can’t find a seller who wants to really sell a home. We are looking at 4 different cities and still can’t find one. But I will be out every day trying to help this young couple find a home.
