“They might be lucky unless they also bought in 1996″…. will 1995 do O.K? nearly 40% below what previous buyer paid. How about 1992 38% less than previous buyer paid….after sitting on hands for a few years. No lie An, even though I have a license, I stopped selling people houses after ….I am going to look it up…03-2004. I sold one condo after that but I swear I told the people they were nuts and that they should keep renting. They brought the deal to me because they owed me a favor for getting a 5k earnest money deposit back from an unscrupulous lender/agent combo by helping htem write letters.
I sold my last house in 03-2005 (except for the one I own free and clear thanks to not being able to time the market).
I will make you a deal. Let’s have lunch and I will break my anonymity to you and give you the proof of any of this that you want. I will bring my current clients who can tell you how long I have been telling them to play it safe. One sold and is renting. I refuse to sell houses to people who I deem cannot afford them. Yeah that’s wierd.
After I prove it, you let me sell you your next house. I will help you time the market, wether you can afford it or not will be your problem. If I am not telling the truth I will give you the entire commission on your next house, you time the market by yourself.
Please excuse any display of ill temper…I am in a foul mood.
