We recently put a property that was down to the studs into escrow at fair market value months before ever being completed. this benefited the seller greatly because the property was locked into escrow before the project being completed, and is minimizing days on the market which translates to lower holding costs. combined with a great offer it was win win for the seller due to profit maximizing, buyer because they were able to customize a home and negotiate a price they were comfortable with, and probably lastly the agent because it took much more work then a normal listing due to milestones and repairs being made as the deal went on.just some notes on the subject which i know can be debated all day long.cheers!
