Flagrant Take on Real Estate

There's an abundance of real estate professionals to choose from, and finding the broker that fits your style of communication and expectations is paramount in determining who will be best suited for your transactional needs. Here are a  few things to consider when selecting you real estate broker.

Flagrant Take on Real Estate: Finding the Right FIt

Due Diligence: Money and Period
For many buyers, the home-buying process starts to feel real when immediately after hearing their offer has been accepted, the next thing they hear from their Broker is, "Now let's get the due diligence money to the Seller." Reality hits quick, and the buyer needs to move with purpose when vetting their new investment. In this week's episode, I walk you through what to expect when you hand over the due diligence money, begin the due diligence period, AND who the onus is on to get answers on the property, since North Carolina is a Buyer Beware State. Thank you for listening. Please like, comment, and share if you find this information helpful.

Price Improvement Galore... What to do when Buyers aren't Interested

At the peak  of the recent market cycle, it wasn't only the sales price that many buyers felt needed correcting, it was the due diligence money being put down to win the bidding war.
