With the recent bumps in the economy, we have developed our skills at sheep dogging. Now more than ever we have found that in order to get to closing we have to corral our sellers, our buyers, our bankers, our appraisers, our agents and even our brokers. Seems every time we think everything is going well, someone strays off the pathway to closing.

Last week the article “Sellers should throw the dog a bone” created some great controversy and discussion. We had one seller say to us that he would throw a low ball offer into the waste basket and never respond to it, but we also had one agent say what the heck and told her seller to counter the low ball with a bottom line number. Now they are heading to closing. Not that all sellers are the same, but one thing is for sure, they sure get testy when you start talking about money. Read the rest of this entry
