While changes are normal, communication and transparency is needed throughout the process.

Since you paid for the appraisal, you could seek a new lender that can give you more clarity and possibly better loan terms.

I am in the Fort Worth area as well and I can provide you some reputable local lenders to can assist. If not with this transaction, possibly ones in the future. 

Good luck and follow you gut!

Thanks all!

Not sure it’s in the budget to add any more gold fixtures or a new island to the kitchen, but I may replace the towel rack in the bathroom. 
However, I did go ahead and fix up the flower beds a bit.

Appreciate everyone’s input as always!

 Looks better already! 

 I do, but I BP won't let me post it in this thread.

 Yes, but I am unable to share it on this thread. 

 Have you found a builder? I am in the area and I know a few that I would recommend.

 Do you still need an inspector? I have several recommendations if you still need assistance.

I would list is ASAP. Average days on the market in Fort Worth is 79 days right now.

You can always set the closing day out further if you need to, but I wouldn't let it sit if it's ready to go. Can you share the address and pics of the house? 

Thank you,

 Yea, I don't think you should drop the price yet, it's already priced fair.

I don't think the water lines would be a huge issue. A lot of homes that age have W/D in the garage, so if it's inside the home, that's a plus. 

I could see the garage possibly being an issue, however, at least it has a garage. I've seen some private builders build homes without a garage. The home sat longer but eventually sold. I know most clients I speak to, just like a garage, mostly for storage lol It's really up to the buyers and for that price range, they honestly can't be too nit-picky. 

I've heard good and bad abut virtual staging. Some love it, some hate it, some are indifferent. It couldn't hurt to try it.

Personally, I have not. I have heard great things about Padsplit though, it's a similar model. Since I am not familiar with Homeroom I cannot compare the two, but you should check them out!

Hey Cody! 

I know that area well! This Market is a little slow right now, but at that price, I am surprised there hasn't been more movement, especially for that area. 

Looking at the pictures, it looks like a nice flip. I hope you did quality work, as I know many rehabbers that don't, and while the pictures look nice, seeing it in person tells a completely different story.

Assuming you did a great job on the rehab, here are my 4 suggestions

#1 The front looks blah. Adding more curb appeal will make it look more beautiful and inviting.

#2 Staging will help. Let me know if you need a contact for staging.

#3 Other than listing it on the MLS, what has your Realtor done. Personally, I work hard for my sellers. Has s/he marketed it on social media, reached out to their network, ran Facebook ads, held an open house.

#4 Are you offering a BAC? I hate to say it, but that will make a difference. Especially in this market/economy. 

Let me know if you have any questions. I'd love to be the agent on your next deal.
