[quote=sdrealtor]Accurate information SD R and that is a good way to handle it. I currently have a listing that one agent has an offer in on. He has the accepted offer on the short sale and has another buyer in back up witht he same offer. The only negative is that he submitted the same offer for his 2nd buyer and there are better back ups in place so if his 1st walks his second buyer probably wouldnt get it.[/quote]

TO make simpler and much more attractive to the buyers – it is yet to come or yet to think make more public the offer via websites or via some internet technology. Folks will bid or bet on the straight offers. Don’t know why we make things more clumsy in this era and still this game became hide n seek. Though there are tone of lessons we are learning still the builders never turndown the listing prices (but ready to give some credit on that listing price). Kind of ugly scenario which never turn the situation better.
