realtor question

[dingdongyo]

A realtor, unless specifically allowed by a seller, cannot show a house that is pending. Don't give up your search dingdong, as it is currently a buyers market (at least it is in TN). You might want to, if you haven't already, tell the agent what you are looking for (area, price range, sq ft, etc.). He/she can then enter those parameters into the search function on the local MLS and come up with more prospective properties for you to purchase. I was a realtor for 10+ years, and currently my work in law involves the state association of realtors.

yes, good call. i do get the automated emails from this realtor. i usually end up doing my own searches anyway just to check. i should probably redo the whole loan approval process anyway, it's been a while. prob not the same anymore.

Also, ask the realtor if the seller would be willing to take a backup offer on any house that may be pending that you like.

i didn't think of that. i'll have to keep that in mind for next time.

What area are you looking in Dingdong? I hear Auburn is a great market right now. But, if you want to be south, come to Standish!!!!

i've been getting hits from the androscoggin area. i'd like to find one <= 100,000, and the further south i look, the more rare those get. in any case, it'll probably be a little while, because i got pissed and blew some closing cost cash on a new tv at circuit city to feel better. but i'll keep my eyes open.
