I'm a Realtor with RE/MAX Grand Central here in the San Fernando Valley. I specialize in bank owned, short sale, pre-foreclosure, probate, and distressed homes. For those of you who don't know the San Fernando Valley, we are part of north Los Angeles County. Other well known areas of the San Fernando Valley are Burbank, Studio City, Universal City, Encino, Toluca Lake, Tarzana, and Woodland Hills.

If you're ever in the area, give me a call. Plus, I love referrals so be sure to send some my way. 30% referral fee ;-)

    Hi Teresa, I found out years ago that the internet would change the way home-buyers find their homes. In fact, most of the homes I've sold over the years where a direct result of buyers find their home. Home buyers work with me because I can provide information and knowledge that the internet cannot provide. It's usually the case that people think they know the local real estate market but when they actually start looking and writing offers, reality strikes. Sincerely, Richard M.

    It's probably the seller/listing agent knows that the buyer's offer is too high and the buyer's lender who will conduct an appraisal. The appraisal is not going to come through. So what the strategy here is to get the highest offer but not high enough to cause an issue later in the purchase. In this scenario, the buyer is trying to get the home and might have overpaid. Nonetheless, whatever you offer for the home, unless your cash buyer, the lender is going to make sure you didn't overspend by conducting an appraisal. It's called checks-n-balances.
