For Sale

I woke up this morning to an offer waiting on my fax machine for my current vacant home. The earnest money was only $250. The buyer wanted us to contribute more than $10,000 in closing costs and down payment assistance. This wouldn't be too bad if the offer hadn't been ridiculously low.

As a real estate agent, I refuse to be insulted by some buyer's assessment of value. They are entitled to their opinion, and I don't have to sell my home at their price.

The deal died a quick painful death. Apparently, anything less than us being absolutely charitable wasn't going to get this house sold. Sigh... Time to get it rented out.
