Michele 1 #1 March 17, 2004 I know, I've been sorta not around the last week or so. I know, I owe about a bazillion pm's to various pm'rs (I really am sorry...I'll work on getting back to you soon....forgive me, please...) But know what? Tomorrow I open escrow on a house that I listed. Asking price? $539K. First offer came in at $540k, and there were three more offers higher than that. The open house had more than 83 groups, totalling over 200 people (or thereabouts) in a 4 hour period on Sunday. My feet were sore... Someone who came through the open house called me yesterday and asked me to write an offer and represent them. This can be an extremely dicey situation, because when you represent both sides of a transaction, you are the repository of tons of things each side doesn't want you to share. You are in a position of "undue influence", and it is vital that everything goes according to Hoyle and all ethics are upheld and personal benefit is left aside. I had the sellers agree to it, the buyers agree to it, and then got the offer written. My sellers chose my buyers out of all the other offers. I am beyond pleased. Tomorrow I open the first escrow of 2004 - for a total dollar amount of 1.1 million (550K each side). Happy? Oh damned skippy. Tired? Oh damned skippy... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
