ParticipantI’m a inactive licensed broker and have my license for my personal investments, primarily to research properties and be able to move quickly on them w/o a buy-side agent.
I am of the opinion that agents on both the buy and sell side will never go away. The analogies of the stock broker, recruiter, and accountants for that matter are very relevant, and I agree with them completely.
That said, in this market, I think the value of a good listing agent is enormous. Marketing, networking, and professionalism is tantamount in this market, and I’ve seen a good agent pay more than their worth in higher prices, quicker sales, and the simple equation of the value of my time.
The thing I am hoping does go away is the MLS. It’s a monopolistic and old-school approach in this day of data democratization. I think we’re starting to see this with the CALMLS initiative and other concepts like Google Base and Roost.com. Time will tell, but MLS consolidation and their future irrelevance is in the cards.
ParticipantIt certainly depends on the beneficiary and geography, but in general the stated opening bid on an auction notice (NTS in CA) is the unpaid balance including late fees, plus costs of foreclosure and any advances to priority liens.
That said, I monitor much of the TS activity in San Diego and Orange County and I have seen a definite increase in trustee’s lowering the opening bid amount below this at the bene’s request. In some cases that’s translating into a rare sale to a third party at the courthouse steps.
This is one of the key reasons why auction pros, when they’re active, do not ignore properties that might not make sense at the NTS amount.

ParticipantPerhaps a simpler answer might be… give her more than 2 days to respond. Yes, it’s a buyer’s market, but giving more than 2 days to respond to email is not unrealistic on a professional level. It may very well be that she’s not interested, but it appears you may be jumping the gun a bit in making that assumption. All ‘good’ business is a 2 way street, even if buyer’s are in a position of leverage right now.
