[quote=spdrun]Make a dozen offers and hope one sticks? Sort of the real-estate equivalent of spam. Eventually, you’ll find SOMEONE interested in teh c1aLi5 and v1a6ra that you’re peddling.
Other than that, ain’t over till it’s over. Everything seems to be moving at a glacial pace — fortunately, the bank’s deadline for closing is two months out. (Though I hope to do much sooner.)
California’s system of doing most things by mail is also very different from NJ/NY, where you have a closing day involving a bunch of dudes and attorneys sitting around a table, signing shite, and where they give you the HOA docs FOR FREE upon offer acceptance, rather than having to pay the management $300 to wait 5 days, then make a few clicks and e-mail them.[/quote]
LOL. Funny spdrun. So true about California’s system being different. The first time I bought here was 2011 and I was surprised as well on several things. For example, it seems like the buyer can back out for almost ANY reason for a certain # of days even after signing a contract to buy.
As well, I remember being out of town when the closing date came. And I insisted to fly back here to do a final walk through the day before or the day of closing. And they kind of acted like I was being a pest about it. LOL.
Everything is done via Docusign and just wiring out to the Escrow agent with no one even meeting. That is different vs. many places I’ve bought before.
