also you need to find a great inspector. find one that you know some one who has used them or get one from angies list. this will save you a ton of money.
as far as offer goes.. here is what we did. wife found perfect house on perfect street. 12 hours befor it came on the market we offerd them exactly what they where posting it for. they recieved 3 other offers = or less then ours. out buyers agent decided to forgo part of his % cut, and he took a hit to get us in... guess he was sick of having us around for 7 months. now. that being said. if your marlket is tight, make a stronger offer. the money you will spend will be worth it. the house next to ours just sold last month for 150K more then what we paid 7 months ago. we are on a quiete street & peace of mind is well worth it. dont freak about money. if your wife is happy, you will be. just dont let her watch any of those DIY shows. sell you tv's if you have to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:187509 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
