Speculating? Thinking of Buying? My suggestion is HIRE a Broker! Hire a Broker that will be progressive in your search

in that we are seeing a trend of homes being bid out by those that are cash, however, TERMS are relevant and timing essential.  NOT EVERY home owner wants to move immediately. Although the contract to purchase asks for willing and ready buyers.....sometimes time to occupy, rent-backs are influential in getting the deal.  Call me if you haven't yet signed up with a real estate broker.  Experience usually makes a great win-win situation along with REASONABLE negotiating.  CALL:
