Quotes of the Day

The employer prejudice that is getting increasing scrutiny now is age. Millions of baby boomers (the 76 million people born 1946-1964) are beginning to enter the so-called "retirement years." A lot of them are not going to find generous pensions waiting, but are going to have to keep working long. They will think you're too old for them to hire. Prejudices are often not about age but about money. Given all your years of experience, many of them think you will expect a high salary. Or you may cost them too much if age does bring with it more medical problems, and they are mandated to have a medical plan. [2013] - Richard N. Bolles

The offer usually has a time limit for acceptance. Set a deadline that forces the seller to comp up with a decision. In most cases, that's just one day, 24 hours, or less. From the buyer's perspective, setting a deadline may be the best way to get the seller to act. Either the seller will outright accept the offer, reject the offer, or make a counteroffer. In my experience, most often the counteroffer is the result. [2006] - Robert Irwin

Assuming positive equity in the property, a vendor is likely to be more lenient on price to prevent further credit issues BEFORE the property goes into foreclosure. If the property is in Canada and is already in foreclosure, be cautious and understand the Canadian foreclosure process, as it is much different to the U.S. model of deep discounts. [2011] - Don R.
