Short sale in RSF question.

[gn]

SD Realtor,

Thanks very much for sharing your experience on short sales. That was very informative. No wonder both realtors & buyers hate dealing with short sales.

This explains why many listings have the following in the description:

“This is a bank owned property, NOT a short sale.”

I swear I posted a response earlier, but it did not show. Thank you both for your comments. As always, very helpful.

I do indeed plan on writing some offers in March or later on one or more of 3-4 houses we are tracking closely (includling this one if I like it after I see it) that follow my buying rules. On 2 of those, the sellers are sticking to their asking prices like glue. On another seller is flexible but there is something fishy about the listing and the seller’s agent is the most unmotivated seller’s agent I have see yet.

As for a casita/guest house, every home we have looked at without one we have thought about putting one in and looked where. But after all the stuff I did earlier this year on building a home up here, I am not as enthusiastic about building. But a casista is not like building a main house of course.

Raptorduck,
There should be a buyer’s listing service for you. You could state what you want and what you would pay, value range of course!
I would encourage you to perhaps take some unconventional steps and get your agent to do the same but I think dragging your heals by any means possible is likely helping your cause, If prices in general get to where you like you might want to go knocking on doors,so to speak, or have your agent do it for properties you like that aren’t even listed.There are also ways for your agent to network with other realtors that might help drum up a deal. She might be doing some things already?
