A Word from Carol
Think Twice
About Seller's Remorse
It is not unusual for sellers of real estate to feel that they have made a mistake. Seller's remorse can strike as soon as the agreement with a buyer is reached. If you are feeling regret over selling your property, here are some issues that you should know about before you call your agent to say that you have changed your mind. Your agreement to sell is legally binding. Therefore, it is important that you know the extent of legal recourse against you that is available to the buyer and the financial consequences.
Get Ready to Work With The flippers are back. The number of single-family homes and condos flipped in 2016 zoomed to a 10-year high, a new report from ATTOM Data Solutions shows. The report shows that 193,009 single-family and condos were flipped in 2016, up 3.1 percent from 2015 and the highest level since 2006.

For example, if the buyer asks a court of law to require you to sell the property. The buyer could sue for damages, including, but not limited to, the costs to the buyer of closing the sale. You may be required to pay the broker's commission in any case. Since you had good reason to want to sell originally, you will probably have to complete the process of selling again in the future, from listing to final agreement, and incur further costs. Consult your agent for professional advice about these and other consequences of seller's remorse before you change your mind.

Sudoku The New Addiction!! Just in case you've never played before. The object of the game is to fit the numbers 1-9 in the correct orders. You need to fill a number from 1 to 9 in every blank cell. A number must appear only once in each row, column and 3x3 block. Sounds easy enough. Don't give up. Once you get the hang of it, its very fun and challenges your brain. (If you don't see the game on the left please try refreshing your screen. You can use F5 or your refresh button.) |
