Unfortunately short sales in Portland come with a short sale addendum which all firms are requiring to get signed by all parties.

(let's assume I have a buyer)I go get my buyer to sign a purchase contract?

If you've got a signed contract that you must pay him comission on anything you buy, then you have to get him to sign a release that he agrees that the contract is cancelled.In future, never sign any agency form that binds you to a buyer's agent for a set length of time, and makes you liable to pay him commission on anything you buy, whether he is involved or not.When you sign a buyer's agent contract is should do no more than state that the agent will represent you and that you will pay him the commission on any house that he finds for you.You can even sign the conrtract one house at a time.If an agent wants to insist upon a more binding contract, just tell him no.

MEC is mutually executed contract, meaning when both of use have accepted and signed the contract.

There is a definite possibility that anyone can swoop it and get the deal signed.

we have an attorney.the bank seems to be upset because of our choice, i can't understand why they assume we will delay the closing. they say they will be ready for that day, that they want a timely closing and want the signed contract as soon as possible-but the contract is in the attorney's hands and we haven't seen it yet.we will wire a x dollars deposit on monday ( to the attorney for escrow acct,that I don't know what is :oops: ) and they seem to be in a hurry...i feel really uncomfortable with thus deal...bye byemichela

what leads from MLS expired listings, For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) leads, foreclosures leads, Internet generated leads, sign call leads, have done for you business?

Also, I'm having bandit signs and business cards made up.

I was just in a neighboring town yesterday and I was stunned to be driving down the main street of the town and there were at least 3-4 for sale signs on every block.
