I hear people BMWing all the time about REOs and other MLS properties having too much competition, with the prices going too high.

That market is very very competitive.

They've gotten incredibly competitive out here, especially when I offer up a few more rentals in exchange for better pricing.

Finding a reputable consultant can help because, instead of just getting just one quote, they will know how to create competition around your sale, and where the higher offers will be!

Figure out how to separate your self from the competition in your marketing.

Seems as though entering the market during a period of very low rates puts you at a perpetual competitive advantage compared to someone 5 years from now who's forced to borrow at double your rate.

It took us 2 weeks because we didn't work on the weekends and it rained heavy several days.

I am a part time agent in an extremely competitive area.

Add to the fact that there isn't a feeling of competition (unhealthy, withholding facts) on the site, but one of total support/cooperation and a given person's honest opinion on how they see your deal or question.It certainly benefits to read everyone's reply to see if you may be thinking wrong and missing an opportunity!

Turns out there were already multiple offers on the place so to be competitive we would have had to go conventional which would've required 25% down.
