Realtors Pray

The Realtor Prayer
The Realtor stood at the pearly gate.
His face worn and old.
Her merely asked of the man of fate.Admission to the fold.
“Whatever have you done”St. Peter asked,“To seek admission here?”
Why I was selling real estate On Earth for many a year!”
The gates swung open sharply
As St. Peter touched the bell;
“Come In,” he said “and take a harp”
“You’ve had enough of Hell!”

Multiple offers
A - Thank you for the question. Even in this market multiple offers are occurring all the time. But the question is the highest offer the best. There are many factors when an offer is presented to a home seller. Consider the terms, which includes the timing of the closing, down payment and type of mortgage / condition of the mortgage. Review and verify all information on the offer. If you are using a real estate professional, review all these options with the real estate agent, if not consult an attorney to discuss the offers. Good luck!

Don't you see what's happening?
Potter isn't selling. Potter's buying!
And why? Because we're panicky and he's not.
That's why. He's picking up some bargains.!
