VA doesn’t have mortgage insurance, but does have the VA Funding Fee. I think it’s 2.15%. Good luck closing on everything :)

The rules indicate submissions must be spin free. The NAR has no credibility based on their manipulation of housing data. They represent nothing but spin. I used to enjoy this site but lately its clear your are just another realtor.

]]> Comment on Negotiating Home Repairs During Sale by Tom Stone http://bayarearealestatetrends.com/2012/05/24/negotiating-home-repairs-during-sale-2/#comment-4096 Thu, 24 May 2012 22:52:23 +0000 http://bayarearealestatetrends.com/2012/05/24/negotiating-home-repairs-during-sale-2/#comment-4096 To the best of my knowledge Barry Stone is not related to me. And Mike, the bullets do come from both directions in these situations. Getting a seller to take care of the section one termite repairs is usually fairly easy, anything else can be very easy or very difficult. Sellers understandably want to walk away with the biggest check they can while buyers want a safe and habitable home. Even very good negotiators are not always going to obtain a satisfactory resolution, buyers sometimes are better off walking away from the deal. When a home falls out of escrow all the parties are unhappy to one degree or another. Buyers are out the costs of inspections and escrow fees, sellers have lost time and now have a listing some buyers will be wary of because it fell out of escrow. If reasonable people are involved things can generally be worked out but that’s a BIG if.
