Would prefer to be in Brevard area, but sometimes you have to expand your geographic parameters to find the best opportunities...good thing is that unlike most urban areas...just about anywhere from Highlands to Mt.

When I think of reputable / national real estate companies most of them do better by diversifying geographically and taking the leap.

I could not get a very good explanation about this from anyone involved in the transaction.  

Remember appraisers are always pulling comps from the MLS on specific geographic area.

Once my client is completely ready to submit, I send over a full package to the other party including an the signed Purchase and Sale agreement, a copy of their pre-approval letter or proof of funds, a picture of the escrow deposit, a sheet explaining all of the comps that verify the offer price, and a brief explanation in the email as to what some of the terms are. 

Several members of BP are 401k providers and can give you all the direction and explanations you need to start using your 401k from your previous employer to get into REI.

Geographic locations and required specs add to the significant variance on price spread.

As for carpet, it might be a geographical thing but it is truly heartbreaking to hear a buyer say they're going to have to tear out all your new carpet because they have allergies or it catches the dog fur or something.

Thank you for the explanation @Czarina Harris!

(At their unit is best, perhaps under the explanation that you'd like to see if there will be any work necessary before the new tenant moves in.)Explain to them that they've been a great tenant, and started their new property search well in advance of their move.
