What I do for my comps to keep it concise is to merely present a table with: Date Sold, Price, Sqft, Price/Sqft.

They want you to make a $200K offer KNOWNING there are better offers on the table.

What is he bringing to the table that makes you want to say yes to his proposal?

The wife and I were sitting around the breakfast table yesterday morning.I said to her, "If I were to die suddenly, I want you to sell all my stuff immediately.""

I'm going to learn more next week and I wouldn't even dream of trying to move them out if there is no deal on the table.

You are too smart to leave 90K on the table for me to take.So any deal you are trying to offload must not be (by definition) a good one for me.I am a futures trader by trade.

MOST Realtors will take what they can get because NO one wants to see the homeowner go to foreclosure and that would be pretty damn selfish if that happened over 1-2% - I would let the homeowner know right away so they could have a discussion with the Realtor about it and hopefully the Realtor will agree.If not, then you have a JERK of a Realtor and if you want to hold the deal together, I'd bring that 1-2% to the table if you can.

This allows me to ask the seller to bring cash to the table or allows me an out.

If your repairs are 85,000, then you could sell for 212,500 and stll leave money on the table for the rehabber to profit--that's what a good wholesaler does.
