I’m usually low balling anyway, but I like using the listing agents because almost all of them give me a lot of good intel about the sellers which I leverage when I make my offers.

Perhaps these home owners are at a stage in their life that would customarily lead to purchasing a new home, but many will opt to stay put because they don't want to trade their mortgage coupled with the cost of purchasing any new real estate.

There you can usually find the real estate contact.

And unless you're shopping for a unicorn property, 60-90 days (even 45) is usually plenty of shopping time.

(I'm a Realtor and ended up making 2x what I usually do last year.)Now I'm pretty confused on what my options are.

Why are Columbus prices falling?

Lastly, if the property is occupied, you may have to go through eviction, which adds time and cost.

So, instead of complaining to use, they need to call the police.

They are currently under our personal names and I would like to keep it that way.

Put it at/before the closing, otherwise they likely won't readjust your mortgage balance unless you "recast" the mortgage which may need more costs.
