What I typically find is that many homes expire because the seller is dictating the agent what the home should be priced at. Overpricing enters easily especially because of the seller’s emotional attachment to the house. However, you make good business decisions only when you keep your emotions aside

I was recently in escrow with a young couple. We ended up cancelling the escrow because so many things were going wrong. It was very frustrating to them that the sellers were missing contract deadlines and they became strangely non-cooperative. I knew exactly what was happening. We were working with fake sellers! Today I’m going to share with you five tips on how to spot a fake seller. If you need to get out of escrow or before you even open escrow, you will know exactly what’s happening.

http://www.nahabproperties.com/aboutus.html Let me explain a little better what our role is as Real Estate Wholesalers. J Habeeb L Cropps III is my name and I am President/CEO of Nahab Properties, LLC. We are registered in Delaware as an LLC under the name Nahab Properties, LLC with the NATIONAL REGISTERED AGENTS, INC. We are the Owners of NahabProperties.com and AmericanDiscountPRoperties.com. Our Telephone Number is 877-257-8394. I know you have all heard about HomeVestors, Buy Owner and We Buy Ugly Houses. Well, we do what they do only on a smaller scale. They are wholesalers who buy properties or assign contracts. You may want to sell a home that has come into serious debt or any property that has been a burden to you in any way. It may be a shell, handyman special that needs renovation, or a house that you have inherited but cannot afford. Whatever your circumstance, we can help. To help the economy and you the homeowner, we help by either purchasing your property ourselves or assigning our contract quickly to a cash buyer. For example, you and I make an agreement to get your property sold quickly. What that means is that you are giving us the rights to buy your property quickly for a stated cash amount. We are asking your permission to purchase or advertise your property because we stand in the buyers shoes until the contract is completed and the property title is transferred. After researching the property by verifying ownership, size and the zoning of the property, we will take pictures and do some comparison pricing for the area in which the property is located and we assess how much repairs will cost if they are needed. We establish and agree upon a price. You are then presented with a contract from Nahab Properties, LLC. Nahab Properties, LLC pays you a nominal fee that serves as the binder and is just a token payment that validates the contract, since a contract isn't legal without a binder’s fee. We may purchase the property ourselves or assign it to another investor. When you confirm to us that you are a motivated seller and we have the rights to buy your property. If we decide not to purchase the property ourselves then we present it to our lengthy list of buyers. Either way you will be paid the price you have requested. By contacting our buyers who are interested in your property, we are then actively selling your property for you. After presentation and the review of the property information, we will set up a tour or visit to the property with an interested party. Commercial rental properties, apartment buildings, land or any residential real estate require basically the same selling process. There is great advantage to the property owner who pays no costly realtor fees, no advertising costs, and no costly listing fees. We do all of the marketing to sell your property quickly. When a successful meeting of the minds occurs between the buyer and seller we then sell our right to buy your property to the new buyer of your property. We are responsible for bringing you a qualified buyer. However we can, we purchase properties quickly from motivated sellers. We are Philadelphia's #1 wholesaler. We buy commercial and residential properties. We help distressed homeowners by either assignment of contract or we may purchase the property ourselves and later use the option to sell the property or assign our right to purchase the property to another investor. You the property owner get all the effort of those large wholesalers and more with Nahab Properties, LLC. We do all of the work until you get money in your hand. I hope this answers your questions and we will gladly answer any more. We are eager to get you the price you want for your property. Thank you very much, J Habeeb L Cropps Nahab Properties, LLC 877-257-8394

Spring has sprung and home buying has begun. Corny but true. Interest rates are at an all time low--a low we are likely never to see again in our lifetime. And Uncle Sam is offering an incredible incentive for any taxpayer with good credit to become a home owner for the first time. There seems to be a little confusion about how great of a deal this tax credit really is, understandably as it involves the IRS, two versions and a time constraint that isn't emphasized hardly enough. Congress passed the $7500 tax credit in 2008 as a mechanism to decrease the gross inventory of homes on the market but that credit was more of an interest free loan and did little to boost housing demand.
