CV – Compromise to Get Price?

Written by Jim the Realtor

January 6, 2012

Buyers are drawn to the $$/sf comparison, but when you see a house that looks too good to be true, it usually is….or there are some shenanigans involved. 

Would you consider compromising on something else, to get the price you want?

If you say “no dice, I want it all”, then you better bring everything you got, and be working with a great agent who can make your case a convincing one – because the good deals will be competitive. 

Has an agent offered you a piece of the shenanigans? 

I’m not an attorney, I just copied this off the internet:

The Federal Bank Fraud Statute, 18 U.S.C. §1344, provides as follows:

Whoever knowingly executes, or attempts to execute, a scheme or artifice-

(1) to defraud a financial institution; or (2) to obtain any of the moneys, funds, credits, assets, securities, or other property owned by, or under the custody or control of, a financial institution, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises; shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both.

    Why do so many of those houses in your videos always have that smoke alarm beeping thing going on?

    The beeping comes from low batteries in the smoke alarms. There is no one home to change them.

    I find it troubling financial institutions get this special treatment, but if they do something similar to their clients, they get a pass.

    Unless you’re planning to watch movies standing up, the projection screen is mounted way too high.

    Anyway, with flat panel TV prices falling like a rock, you’re better off getting that instead of keeping the projector set-up, which will give you the added benefit (or disadvantage depending on your point of view) of being able to watch TV during the daytime.

    The screen will very likely sell for much more on the used market than the projector.
