Unless you demand the 3% you wouldn’t get it. They try to play hardball, so be damm adamant(throw a temper tantrum).Also shop around for the mortage before you go in. Ask them to match it (they can’t). You can then negotiate the incentives that went along with using their broker.
Most of the buyers are suckered in by the financing. This is where they make back the money IMHO.
Perhaps the realtors would work on a fee say $500.00 for a couple of hours work but not the whole thing!!!

I have been to the courthouse auctions.I haven’t seen any of the houses on the MLS after 3 months.Why foreclose in the first place? why not accept a short sale and spare the great fools for buying over their heads in the first place??
Do the various banks like HSBC,Countrywide,Wells Fargo have favorite Realtors to sell these REO’s?

It is a ghost town my friend. Waiting for the bumbleweed to start blowing across the streets as in the Clint Eastwood movies” The good the Bad and the UGLY. Go to SDlookup.com and plug in the Inland zip codes and see whats going on there.It’s ugly.
60 minutes to focus on the Real Estate situation Sunday May 13th. NAR is already putting the word out that its not kind tp Realtors

[farbet]

Critter I Stand corrected. NAR

[farbet]

Just happened to come across this article
http://money.cnn.com/2007/05/01/real_estate/bubble_appraisers.moneymag/index.htm
This is what is happening in the appraising world. The comps are beimg manipulated IMHO.Would you buy now under these conditions?
The NRA finally admits that there will be further decline in prices . Isn’t it funny now that Liarrh has left the NRA.

bugs, you may be “a play by the rules” appraiser. Show us articles, expose etc of the appraisers that have been caught and punished,or any investigation of Appraisers that is going on.Lets expose them here. Do they carry malpractice insurance? So that someone, who overpaid and is struggling, can recover from them and their insurance!!
It’s just that we read about the fraudsters and nothing is done. Nada

[farbet]

An appraiser either please and bring in the numbers or it is sayonara to future business.Come on they all do it. Maybe in matter of degrees.

[farbet]

Appraisers are like the wind, they sway in whatever directions will bribe them. They are just as responsible as the Subprimers for the market run up in fake prices.I know that they are exceptions but the majority are just HO’s(I said the H word).!!

On this and other blogs we have been reporting on the realtors.Super Jennae realtor from Carlsbad etc It’s about time these builders are exposed.
I haven’t seen any real reductions in their prices have you?
Maybe someone who dealt with the buiders can give us an idea of what the real story is.

What about “you must use our lenders” part if you want the incentives? Why should a buyer have to go thru this game. They claim they are giving incentives and take it back with the mark up on the mortages. Is this legal?

[farbet]

These were not Asians. I know when they see Asians they bend to plese. They equate Asians with “Mone”

More than likely IMO they were Physicians as they wanted a quick move in house by June as they start work in JUly. New Physicians start year is July 1.
