Foreclosures & Short Sales 8/10

How DO You Find a Great Deal?

Finding a great deal in this market isn't always easy. After all, if it were, everyone would be doing it. However, with the right people and a little bit of patience, you'll have the deal of a lifetime!

Steps to Finding a Great Deal

Here are some steps to finding a great deal:
1) Be patient and visionary. You need to see potential where no one else does.
2) Never make an offer without knowing what similar homes are selling for and price trends for the neighborhood.
3) Don't be afraid to lose a house if they don't accept your offer. NO EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENTS!

Most importantly, be sure to work with a Realtor who is knowledgeable and a GREAT NEGOTIATOR. If they don't know where to look or how to negotiate the deal, they probably aren't the person for the job.
