Multiple Offer Situations
Multiple offers normally
happen when the seller is the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. VA wants all
parties to know that there are other interested parties making bids on the
property (usually bids come in very low). Well I was showing a house that the listing
agent normally sells VA home. The listing agent told me she already had an
offer on the house but she wasn’t presenting anything until Monday (this was
Saturday). So we submitted an offer a
few hundred over the price. The agent came back Monday and said to submit the
best and highest offer.
I just couldn’t believe
that. I mean it wasn’t a VA house and we submitted a good offer with a quick
closing. I just never in all my years dealt with anything like this from a
regular seller. The agent said her
owner wanted to test the market because it only been on the market for 5 days.
So my clients started thinking maybe the agent was trying to raise the price or
might be working for the other buyers after speaking with their family members.
Needless to say we loss
the bid, because we went the other direction with the bid a thousand dollars
and better. My clients were suspicious of the entire deal.
How do other agents
handle multiple offers?

Selling Your Home For The First Time
When selling your house for the first
time it can be emotional. The home owner doesn’t really want to leave their
home unless the price is right. The seller will need to be willing to do the
following:
Ø The owner has to consider the
professional price opinion to put the house on the market
Ø Reviewing the overall possible refund
or equity that she/he can get from the
sell
Ø Holding open houses and allowing
strangers to view your home
Ø Considering all offers that are
presented and the feelings or thoughts of it being SOLD at the right price.
Going back and forth to contract
Ø Having an inspection completed and
having to tackle possible issues can sometimes be emotional.
Ø After the inspection the appraisal is
going to be ordered. The seller and agent are both waiting on the appraisal to
come back with no issues.
Ø Hopefully after everything goes
smoothly then the buyers can fund to close. Yeah!

Home Inspection
Representing Your
Seller
As a listing agent and you have a
homeowner still living in the home I personally think it is important for the
listing agent to be present during the inspection. Sometime issues may arise during
an inspection with the buyer and inspector walking through the house. The
seller may be present and so therefore you would want to be present too. I’m
not saying follow the inspector around like they represent you, but make sure
everything is going smoothly with the inspection.
If there is a buyer that goes through
the house and nick picks everything in the presents of the seller can be a
problem. I can be the problem solver for any incident. We have to remember that
sellers are normally emotionally attached to their home. Even when I was selling my home and I have
about two items they wrote up to repair and I was like, “No Way”. But I had to
make the decision, “Will this make or break the deal”. Deal, that what a lot of
people want and even want to believe they are getting. So a lot of times it works
better if your seller is going to be present for the inspection, then you the
representative should be present too.
I just believe its good to be present
at least during the inspection to ensure everything runs smoothly with the
inspection and there isn’t any buyer or seller issues.

New Construction
New Construction Issues
I was disappointed with one of our
local builders. Closing was set for a certain day, but it didn’t happen because
of the final appraisal report that was due before closing. That’s fine and I have no problem with that
because that’s out of every ones hands. What I do have a problem with or what I
was happy about was we did our walk thru with the builder’s rep on a Monday and
closing was scheduled for Thursday. So tell me why on our walk thru and hour
before closing were the same existing issues still present. Ridiculous to say
the lease…….touch up paint was still needed, door stoppers, jets with the Jacuzzi
not working, etc. How easy is touch up paint and why not complete it. The Builder’s Rep said well they weren’t
closing when expected so we stopped everything (That’s the wrong answer).
I told the builder rep, you want my
clients to sign and the repairs aren’t complete. On top of that it ended up
being a Friday and if wasn’t funding today then we wouldn’t get the keys until
Monday. Who wants to have this issue when they could just wait until Monday to sign.
If we waited then they wouldn’t have a mortgage payment until August 2013.

Getting a VA Foreclosed Home Appraised
Having Your Home
Appraised
I just finished having a VA Home
appraised and to my surprise it needed to be re-inspected for repairs. The
house needed to be re-inspected by an appraiser because of the fence and outside
paint. The inspector said the house needed to be completely re-painted on the
outside. The house was already negotiated 20% below market value. VA wasn’t
going to do the repairs unless the price on the house was going to be re-negotiated
(increase the price). So the repairs needed to be negotiated outside of
closing.
This seems as though this is becoming
a trend and more and more foreclosed homes are having issues with the appraisal
and foreclosed means the property is selling as is without any repairs.
