@Andrew Brewer - I recently represented some buyers who purchased in that neighborhood.

For any property on the MLS most agents are going to want to see one of two things from the buyer:  Proof of Funds (i.e. a printout of a bank statement with your name on it and a balance at or above the offer price) if it's going to be a cash offer; OR a pre-approval letter from a lender if it's going to be a financed offer. 

It has been my experience that the current retail buyers want a completely finished/updated house that needs nothing.

Is FHA ONLY for first-time home buyers?

I think some states require that you disclose a death in a home to potential buyers.

@Yvette Allen,  I reckon it largely depends on your long term goals, and your negotiating ability, as to whether it'd be a win-win at least as much for you as for your Buyer.

I put end buyers who (in theory) tend to take better care of the property because they plan to buy it.  

So are those two houses worth the same for a buyer?

It's a business and you have to treat it that way.You start early in the day and potentially have appointments at night when people come home from work, either to meet with sellers or to take buyer's out.You can set your own hours, but ultimately, you have to work around everyone's schedule.

I've tried looking up the potential liability of a Salesperson in the line of doing normal work.There are a number of tricky things, especially here in NYC.Just to give a clear example, let's say your client is a Buyer and you are showing him a Property built in 1960.According to the the EPA, the Buyer should be presented with a Lead Paint Disclosure when purchasing any property built prior to 1978.If a Buyer never receives this disclosure, buys the property, then later discovers there was Lead Paint, then sues.... who can he sue?
