With a home warranty, if you are budgeting money for cap ex and maintenance you should end up way ahead in the long run skipping a home warranty.

So I will skip them.

Don't skip steps - do the read if you're in the biz.Best to you in 2014

You just have to have a title company that will play ball and accommodate this type of closing, and your buyer will have to have cash, Hard-money, portfolio loan, or if its a private seller just assign the deal and skip the double closing.

The reasoning for some is that broker, myself included sometimes, often feel as though they are doing all the work for half the pay, also some feel as though they will need to hold your hand (or a FSBO) through the process since not everyone knows their way through a transaction.I feel that it is shortsighted for some brokers, I will at least make the call to make sure I will be compensated if we can put something together...however, if you say no dice to my commission, and they are a very good client or family member, I will send them your way anyway, but that's just me...I know lots and lots of agents/brokers that wouldn't give you the time of day and would skip right over your property and never bring it to the attention of their client.Plus, I also figure if I show your place a few times, and we build a tiny level of trust along the way, you may call me if or when you need a full time professional broker in your corner.Just my opinion !

You can kind of skip 1 &2 as they are redundant with #3.

@Ned Carey  in addition one needs to have nexus lexus and be an expert at skip tracing.out our way the bigger players in this tend to be private detectives..and in many areas the counties make it darn tough as they don't like to see middle men taking 50% of peoples money.... this is an old Guru program that has kind of come and gone.

I have been out of the country, so I skipped January. 

I must have skipped over that post.

As such I'm like a non-stop freight train going 100mph till I eventually crash and say, "I'm skipping today my Brain isn't working anymore."
