You're definitely going to want to work with a top-notch agent who can be your boots on the ground here.

I've used him a couple of times, he and his team are top notch and they are in the NW Burbs too.... 

If an end user just put in the listing that lease expires on XX.Talk to tenant and see if he is OK with some limited showings with advance notice and if he will keep place in condition needed to show property.I would consider offering him a cash payment if house sells for top dollar.

It's a way to keep in front of them and stay top of mind.

That could fit in the pretty much any start-up especially in real estate.

So I closed on on the property last Friday and discovered in my closing  disclosure I was going  to PAY for Title Insurance,  Settlement fee, title search fees and lean search fee which racked up about another 1k on top of my 15k of commissions. when I questioned why I was paying this my realtor said it that is this was normal practice for the seller to pay this??

Your lender behind your 203k loan is likely going to require a licensed and insured contractor to complete any of the work subject to repair in your appraisal report and any the repairs that you want to finance.Any renovations on top and outside of that will be under your control.

If I’m the seller and I’ve seen the last five years the property fmv rise consistently then I’m going to “speculate “ and set my price higher for top dollar as opposed to a quick sale.

Last month a 2bed/1bath 740sf sold for 162k in great condition, but not new or top of the line granite counters, etc  We own a local plumbing company so we know plenty of contractors in the area. 

Can they just change the amount as they see fit?
