Sandy Blanton awesome, Ill be sure to pick that one up!

@sandy blanton This might make you laugh, but the Broker I worked for would have charged me money for the time I wasted of his to ask him if i should work for free.

As for what Sandy says above, I generally agree.

Sandy Blanton, We keep switching from "escrow" and "reserve", do they escrow funds or is someone calling funds a reserve?

Joe Jones Your best bet is to google for your area or pick up a newspaper / home listing magazine from your local grocery store as I dont know of any big national ones and they vary area by area.What it will allow you to do is get your property on the MLS for a flat fee but you will then have to do all the work. ( and pay some sort of commission to any agent that would bring a buyer from the ML )Sandy Blanton I am also a licensed agent and while I understand the value of an agent, sometimes houses priced right and with proper advertising can sell themselves and save the owner money.

Some good reasons for the need to move include: need more space (expecting a child or elderly parent moving in), need to relocate for job, lease ended, house they are in had a disaster event strike (fire, hurricane like Sandy).I just filled a vacancy during November with somebody who was moving due to house they were in had a break-in.Just about anything else for a reason to move is suspect.But you will get some on BP who will only do month-to-month.

I have a couple in New York that are taking their insurance check from Sandy total losses and buying in condo.

Great thread and I agree 100% with Sandy.

Hi Sandy,Very interesting point.
