So unless its a listing that is exclusive to our office, I tend to limit my time (somewhat) with buyers who are interested in a property that is multi-listed, since there is the risk I may loose the sale to a competitor.

From the sellers perspective - loosing a buyer is much worse than a smaller sales price.

yeah I agree - loose the agent unless you are just dying to get the property listed with them.If the seller has an agent then yes you have to use an agent.

Submariners motto is "loose lips sink ships".

My Lawyer told me to stop dealing with owners in foreclosure and I have too much to loose to argue.

With that kind of cash you could easily afford to buy into a REIT, or some other profit generating real estate investment, however with that said there is some risk there, you may loose that money.

Dripping faucets or running toilets wasting YOUR water; traps with buckets under them and damage to cabinet bases; loose toilet/leaking wax ring damaging YOUR flooring or the apartment below; faucet STEMS leaking when turned on, allowing water to damage YOUR countertops.

Now the bank wants to keep my earnest money if I can't close by Friday and I will loose a great property.I was stupid and didn't use the financing escape clause and did the contract with Cash although the letter of credit states that it is based upon property condition, appraisal etc, I also put an clause in for subject to inspection and appraisal meeting buyers approval.

It was about 2 years ago that those prices started WAY up by leaps and bounds.

As a homeowner myself, it's what I've worked so hard for to get & keep, it really upsets me to think I may loose it.Will
