Can anyone comment on the pros or cons of using a cash offer program like the one Home light is offering?


Very interesting and I believe you are correct to keep up with market demand. nnI have to wonder if the industry will continue to follow proper procedures to keep us from repeating the massive mistakes and fraud from the mid 2000's. Homes are getting more...Posted 3 years ago

Credit score is low but I have a lot of money


Like several answers above, it will depend on if you are planning to rent or purchase. nnContacting a lender for your specific situation would be recommended, especially if you have 50% or more of a home payment to show how serious you are. Banks more...Posted 3 years ago

When the buyer must inspect a NEW construction prior to closing or on the 11th month before the warranty expires


Lots of helpful responses on this topic. Always great to learn new things. nnTo answer the OP, yes always get a professional inspection, a 3rd party is recommended. Just because it's "new" doesn't mean it's 100% perfect. Virtually all homes have more...Posted 3 years ago

You approached the situation properly. Some sellers are extra comfortable with people. Leaving their sweet dog out was obviously not a big deal to them, but most people aren't ok with a random dog loose in the home. nnHope all works well with you more...Posted 3 years ago

Any comments re surge in r.e. activity besides low interest rates and low inventory, particularly in this time of COVID-19 isolation and (prior) political unrest?


The crazy part is... there's a major shortage of affordable ( starter ) housing in many areas of America. And so if you have millions of people and families fighting for a small % of homes that are maybe 250 k or 300 k.... then prices will continue more...Posted 3 years ago

I have a complete inspection report now that the buyers agent sent the whole thing - now what?


I agree with both posts above. Transparency from the start always shows professionalism from my experience. nnYou may have to have a tough conversation with the seller in a few weeks if they are demanding As-is and the price is just not what the market more...Posted 3 years ago

Meaning of Option pending?


Option pending means a property has a contract accepted by both parties. nnBut the deal is not over, the option period could be a few days or more than a week ( negotiable )nnIf the option period is 7 days for example, the buyer has 1 week to do inspections more...Posted 3 years ago
