Michael,It look like you will be making a good pay day without another discount from the seller.Joe Gore

Even the most dedicated agent cannot be instantly available 24/7 - and is not expected to be.  

Some are and others are very intelligent and know the time and value of money.If they only have so much time to work with clients and one wants a needle in a haystack for a small payday it doesn't make sense to take that business if you have larger deals where a bunch of property is available.It's just like an investor who does a flip on a house.

So I'd argue that you can capitalize on this situation because home prices will not unanimously rise instantly.  

If you are paying cash for the property you obviously have instant equity.

So if the home has two baths and a kitchen, I know I am instantly at $12k.

Uwe, i saw one of your posts somewhere and instantly thought that you must be german too ;-) Nice to see that im not the only one.Ian, maybe i can send you a pm when i get to Denver and you could take me along to one meeting one day, what do you think?

What with instant text messaging and cell phone cameras I do think that would work for me.  

No instant booking.

I did have instant book turned on with Vrbo and Airbnb pre COVID and never had any issues.I turned off instant book and am staying full so if it ain't broke...
