Video (0:52): I want to share a bit of a reflection (I know, it sounds corny) I had earlier this week when I met with a client. It has to do with how much more often us sons and daughters need to communicate with our moms, and simply remind them how much we love them.
The longer the tenant takes to vacate the property, the more filings an attorney would perform in order to kick out the tenant. That means more mula from you. And vice versa, the quicker the tenant vacates the unit, the less filling, and so on.
Last, best case scenario is where the tenant does not contest (aka fight it) the eviction process. If they do, things will prolong based on so many factors, that it’s best to contact me or you’ll fall asleep reading this stuff.

Often, low ballers are a waste of time. And this is why you shouldn’t waste an ounce of energy in getting offended by such offers.
But from time to time, they are legitimately testing waters, or your level of motivation. So my advice is to return the favor and test their motivation to buy by countering full price and wait for their reaction, if any.
Again, since chances are that they are wasting time, after you counter, move on with life and focus on the goal. Selling your home to the right buyer at the right price.

So you are buying or selling a home. How much money should you negotiate in escrow (good faith deposit)?
The answer is that there is no right answer. There is no “normal” amount or “customary” figure. It all narrows down to your level of motivation to acquire the property. Tipically, stronger contracts tend to offer more deposit, and vice versa. Some other factors to consider when determining an amount:

9 times out of 10, people check their home value on Zillow or Trulia prior to calling a real estate agent. I personally think these sites are great considering they get it right about 50% of the time (when you take into account that an algorithm is trying to determine a very complex ordeal such as the value of a home…props to that).
So why do they miss the mark the other 50% of the time?
I don’t really know, and I doubt anyone else truly knows, but here is my guess. Because they can only see what’s on the outside of the property thru the eye in the sky – aka satellites – and they can only analyze what can be found on public records such as number of beds, number of baths, etc.
The problem here is two-fold.
Say you added a family room to a property. Or your home was built in 1975, but you have made an update here and there. It’s this lack of accurate information that can distort what’s reported in sites like Zillow.

Long story short, any contract from a buyer to purchase your home must be made up of 3 components. Anything less is often, a meaningless offer.
