Thanks. This was a house I really wanted. I acted as fast as possible getting my contractor in to see it, (a necessary step in this case), it was a project but w great essentials.
I don't need a buyer's agent. And I'm dealing w properties where my offer might not be the highest but I offer other incentives so every thousand dollars matters and I want the listing agent to be motivated to push my offer.
My offer on places like this goes like this: all cash, no inspection, no appraisal, no contingencies and here is a check for X dollars, (5 figures), if the deal falls through for ANY reason on my end, you keep that $$. 7 day closing.
It gets their attention. This was an estate/probate deal.
