How to determine your offer price in a slow market

Here is a link to a post by real estate author Ilyce Glink.

She does a lot of top-notch stuff. I have one of her home buying books sitting on my book self right now.

In this post I leave an important comment on when you don't want to just look at historical sold data to determine value.

Structuring a repair credit


A few years ago a reporter from the Detroit Free Press asked me what happens when an inspection uncovers serious problems with a home.

I described to her the 4 distinct methods to deal with issues that come up and she put those four in an article.

Well recently we had a transaction in the office where the listing agent didn't know how to structure a repair credit. This agent had been in the business a while so it wasn't like she was totally new. Obviously our agent was able to show her how (and how much) but it is surprising to me sometimes how a broker will have an agent active in the business with so little training.

If you want a experienced, competent agent to represent your interests when you buy a home in the Pinckney area, contact our office at 734-662-6240 on online at hbaaa.com
