Where you are and what is acceptable practice will guide how you should conduct business.If you say it's a new roof in your advertising, it better be a new roof just put on otherwise say it's 6 months old or what ever.Contracting with a seller and having them take a property off the market and not having the ability to buy can get you hammered, you're not dealing in good faith and you'll cause the seller to miss out on other offers during marketing periods, that can add up to some real damages for a seller.If you sell to a buyer who is getting a loan, you may have issues if the lender sees a double closing and they can before it closes, they don't fund and you're hung.

But bear in mind that almost all buyers will have a buyer agent, so you'll still have to advertise to pay that side of the commission.

I got a phone call from my partner this morning, who excitedly told me that he just left an office where they have some kind of computer software program that allows them to type in almost any address and it spits out four separate screens of info (taxes, liens, mortgage owing, 2nds, and comps for the area along with a digital map etc) I told him to get the software program so we can start using it.
