I would counsel folks to focus on the P&L - use "creative" tricks to motivate your emotional human self, but know that the P&L is only swayed by reality.Sorry, @Reuben Mathews, I realize your question was more tactical and apologize for the more esoteric part of this thread.

Chances are they won't get the deal happening anyway, by which time you should be better prepared when you re-establish communication with the Seller?

Since you're overseas, it'll be a necessity that you can communicate via e-mail and skype, as well as to digitally sign paperwork during the process.Best of luck!

If you don't get your license just make sure you always have a contract in writing, I heard a story once where a guy found a motivated seller and a buyer and when he told them he found the other they just communicated and cut him out..

I had to rebuild a ramp and communicate to tenants it it did not work and would need to be redone (by a pro this time)....Temporary solution at best in my opinion for any large surface..Break it up and replace the driveway and use a sealer (to protect from salts, and use the least corrosive ice melt).

This assists in creating a kitchen that has an emotional connection with the buyer.

Nationwide has, incredibly, tasked the receptionist in the local office with all direct communication about this and other really weighty matters.

just wondering if im on the right path. i have no formal real estate training.. im just learning on the fly. i do have a BA in communications and can sell ice cubes to an Eskimo... ;)

Just as you communicate here in the forums, you can connect with someone in their local area for a meal (have to eat any way) and get: #1 an amazing meal in a restaurant you would not have been able to find on your own :)#2 the chance to talk with someone or some people about a variety of topics, not just Real Estate.#3 continue the conversation well after you've departed because there are so many things that come up and you can't really explore each one in depth.The benefits go on and on!

I guess if you sum up my complaint it would be the lying, bringing in unauthorized pets and not communicating with me ahead of time, and not following some basic protocol of notifying me of long absences and excessive damage.
