Finally - our first offers!

Today was a good day. We put out our first group of offers! A total of 9 offers. A good friend of mine is a part-time realtor and she was incredibly helpful with finding comps and helping identify properties based on search terms I gave her. The goal was to do 10 offers but it turned out that one of them was a townhouse and not a single family home so we dropped that one at the last minute. We've had issues with HOAs so we're not even trying to deal with those.

I'm really wondering about this major bailout that the government is planning for this week. I'm curious to know what the impact is going to be on all of the homes pending foreclosure as well as the homes that already bank owned. I guess this is why Tim Winders kept saying that you can't be a one trick pony. Things change and your business must be able to adjust.

Meanwhile, we put out bandit signs again this weekend and got a few calls. My husband spoke with 2 potential investors and I spoke with one seller who owes more on mortgage than the property is currently worth. Not much we can do with that.

Now that we got over the hump of getting those first offers done, time to start all over and do it again! I'm also going to price ad space in The Flyer and the Sun-Sentinel classifieds this week. Since we're making offers we need to be ready to have some buyers!
