    I can really relate. When the client asks me what I think will happen over the next couple of years (and they all do), they really don't like my reply. Essentially the answer boils down to "I don't know!" I speculate that we might have a recovery fairly quickly, and maybe we've hit bottom and are on our way back up! Then I speculate that on the other hand it might go down quite a bit further before it recovers... and that may not recover for a long time. I don't want to set up any false expectations. I want the Sellers to appreciate it if we get a quick offer, and I want them to work hard to make their home the best value on the market in their area today. I want them to be realistic on price and cooperative at inspection time. I don't want them turning buyers away because it's not convenient to show the house today. The hard reality is that now more than ever, I don't want to work with an unrealistic seller (or buyer). I would really rather not have the listing.

    Great article Kris... so much is so true. The funny thing is I had just about decided to sign up for Inman's premium membership when this debate came up... Changed my mind completely. http://www.realty4atlanta.com http://www.realty4atlanta.com/blog/

    My experience is that the preferred lenders that are pushed by the homebuilders and the foreclosure specialists are typically more difficult to deal with than the tried and true lenders that we deal with on a day to day basis. Since the "in house" lenders are handed clients without having to work for them, they seem to be less likely to return calls quickly, and more difficult to deal with in general. I have never seen particularly good rates or low closing costs with an "in-house" lender. But the days of the builder dictating that type of arrangement are over anyway... if you tell them to pay closing costs with the Buyer's lender or the deal's off, watch them roll over!
