The Real Estate Sage

You better move fast once you find the right home. Call your agent and have him/her compute similar sales in the neighborhood and then use this information to base your initial offer. Before your agent put the offer into writing, he should make a way to find the sellers’ motivation. It’s important to know where they are moving, why they will sell the house, how long has the home been out in the market or if they offer another house. And the agent should consider other aspects before writing up a smart offer, like, if the property is still for sale or are there pending offers, if it is a probate or foreclosure sale and how much the sellers owe the loan.
