the challenge seems to be in finding an escrow/title company that will allow the "double escrow" to be done.....for example: there is an escrow open that is required by the lender once the "approval" from the lender is secured....then there needs to be another escrow opened between the "buyer" and the "end-buyer" on the same property....so, "end buyer" comes into escrow with the $300K plus closing costs, closes existing escrow on the property...then the title/escrow officer walks into the next room and applies the $250K plus closing costs to the original escrow to close that one.in theory and once in the past this was the way it was and still should be...but, now as it seems, most escrow/title companies are not wanting to do the "double" escrow for reasons of "full disclosure" to all parties, for fear of not being "sued" for some type of fraud.those of us not engaging in these tactics get penalized.....but, such is life....i have a title company that has stated they will do a "double" escrow but, will need to let the lender know this fact. not disclose the "amount" the "end-buyer" is paying, merely disclose there is a 'double" escrow in effect....well, obviously this should kill the deal right at the very end....so, not a wise direction to take....

It's a combination of having a more secure stream of business that we can rely on (arrogance to some degree), having lots of work to get done, having heard just about every sales pitch from every investor in our market, and also knowing that in most cases, our properties sell themselves; whether you buy it or not, it'll sell.Like all listing agents, I love earning both sides of a sale.
