Quotes of the Day

It's the agent's duty to inform a buyer if the offer is unlikely to be accepted, not argue with the buyer and try to coerce him or her to raise it. [2006] - Robert Irwin

Try to present the offer in person or have your realtor present the offer in person if at all possible. Statistically, people who negotiate in person are more likely to come to a deal than people who negotiate over email or over the phone. [2015] - Gary Wong

Property Manager Interview Questions: What are your management fees? How do you communicate with owners (how frequently, what about)? How many properties do you manager? How long have you been a property manager? Am I locked into a management contract with you (if so, how does that work)? How many evictions do you have each month? What kind of reserves do you/does your company require? How long does a typical tenant stay in a property? How long do properties usually stay vacant before being rented? How do you screen tenants? Do you accept people who have had an eviction on their record? How do you handle maintenance requests? Is there a minimum charge for a maintenance visit? What do you do if a tenant doesn't pay rent? How do you market vacant properties? [2015] - Brandon Turner

I suggest you decontaminate the bristles of your brush after each use by swishing the head of your brush in an essential oil rinse like Listerine®. Then rinse it with water, and allow it to air-dry in a clean environment away from any toilet contamination. Do not rely solely on UV sanitizers as they may not be as effective as portrayed by their marketing. Even antibacterial toothbrushes need to be cleaned with some frequency, especially if you have an unhealthy mouth. Consider purchasing inexpensive brushes for travel and use them as throwaways. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

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
