@Kathleen McCabe  The NAR Code of Ethics states that if another Realtor (member of NAR) asks if we have other offers, we must answer that question, but not reveal the amount or terms.When representing a seller, I've found it to be beneficial as it encourages other buyers to sharpen their pencils - although I've had some cases where the existence of competing offers causes a buyer to back away.My goal is to get at least two offers, regardless of how bad they are.

@Albert LeeBanks won’t reveal information about their customers unless you are representing their client and the homeowner has signed a letter of authorization.

And keep in mind your inspection might reveal one or two things that need to be fixed right away, so I’d just make sure you some some reserves or some way of coming up with a little cash if something breaks.Good luck!

The inspection revealed some problems with the roof and the plumbing.

BTW - many tripods let you retract the rubber feet to reveal a metal spike for use outdoors. 

Marco claims that the asset based loan process is easy as cheese. Has anyone found out whom he uses?
