The real estate market is not a very efficient market, it is heavily influenced by deeply human factors.

We do it because we trust in the professionalism , abilities and more importantly the efficiency of the process.

This may be a great question for my dude @seanOKeefe  YES calling the bank is much more efficient 

A fee-only financial planner or real estate-focused CPA can help structure the sale, financing, and new purchase in a tax-efficient way.Good luck!

If you are someone who is devoting energy to promising people riches, then taking them for $10's of thousands of dollars, you should be exposed for what you're doing and you should also stop what you are doing immediately because you are a drain on society and your soul will thank you for stopping in the afterlife.My point here is that not only is this tactic effective on people who are strong and intelligent, but it is also effective for people who are weak and desperate and that is the real issue.

When I asked about this I was more or less told that because they run the purchase/sale through the agent's brokerage firm it makes the process more efficient and there are all these moving parts etc.

Make it easy for them to provide their details.Anything less will waste the hard-earned money you’ve spent—even if you’ve selected the best keywords, written the perfect ad copy, and utilized every cost-efficient Google feature.In the world of Google traffic, a first impression can often be the last impression.And I’d like to ask you:Have you seen pages like this from your competitors before?

While you could file the deed yourself, an escrow company can help manage the process efficiently.

Door-knocking is on my radar, but if there’s an efficient workaround for reaching out to expireds, I’d love to know!

How to close quickly and efficiently.
