Then when we list a house the agency charges $250 as an admin fee to use SureCLose.

You all seem like a great group with alot of knowledge of RE.I just baught my first house.

If the neighborhood has a good number of homes that aren't selling, then you'll likely have trouble selling the home that you're planning to bid on.Contact whatever agency is auctioning this property to find out the details of how much of a deposit is required, how to pay, and how long you have to come up with the balance.

Any advice or knowledge on winning bids will be greatly appreciated!

Interesting... could you tell us some more about your agency?

Thanks Wes, I will keep looking out.Can you suggest a forum where I can get more knowledge on what to look in a property,where to look(besides the MLS) and how to calculate numbers to make sure it is a feasible buy.I am a total rookie to this and would like to be 200% sure before I make my first step.

Just got back from my first meeting, I'd have to say I'm pleasantly surprised with the amount of knowledgable people that come to these things.

I have a good amount of knowledge and am willing to help others.

you need to submit a request to the condo association so they can approve it. maybe this is basic knowledge but for me, being a total newb, i had no clue!

They may even offer some mentoring services as well. i have no real knowledge about Atlanta other than what I have read.
