Bill Eckler-Florida, GRI answered:

The issue here appears to be "the value of your word."

If common sense does not prevail you could expect further action. Our recommendation is to anticipate this and consult an attorney......or at the very least, make your broker aware of this situation, which very likely could involve him/her. - A few hours ago

FOR SALE BY OWNER Any success stories out there? Many properties that had been for sale by owner are now

Asked earlier today by Amy Bernhard… - Home Selling in 12401 - 2 answers

Bill Eckler-Florida, GRI answered:

These are difficult times for established agents and seasoned companies. FSBO's are feeling the heat as well because their "thunder" has been swept away by "short sales" and "foreclosure" activity.

To compete in this market FSBO's need to be willing to price their property relative to current market trends.....something most are unaware of or reluctant to accept. - A few hours ago

what does it mean when it says short sale?

Asked earlier today by Jodyblue - Home Buying in Florida - 3 answers

Bill Eckler-Florida, GRI answered:

Jody,

If a "degree of difficulty" were associated with the three major real estate transactions it might look something like this............

1. traditional sale...................easily done under normal circumstances

2. foreclosure............also relatively easy, but dealing with a bank can be unusual and entertaining

3. short sale..........very, very difficult, insensitive, time consuming, frustrating, difficult and often worthy of considering other options. There can be relatively smooth S.S. transactions.......however, this is not the norm but the exception..... - A few hours ago

where,or how do i land trashout contracts

Asked earlier today by Bobby28 - Foreclosure in Indiana - 3 answers

Bill Eckler-Florida, GRI answered:

Visibility is the name of the game......we just went through a major clean out in the Sarasota area and had some difficulty finding someone to do a "clean out."

The Yellow Pages revealed cleaning services, deep cleaning, salvage, etc. The greater your visibility, the more activity you can plan on having....consider the telephone book, promoting your business through real estate companies, or any other entity associated with the business.

Good luck - A few hours ago
