Original asking price: $4,750,000

After being on the market for only 25 days, the owner of this #StudioCity home decided to accept a offer that was $500,000 below asking price.
.
Do you think the owner was too quick to accept such a low offer... or should the owner have kept the home on the market a little longer in hopes of getting more money?
.
Comment "accept" or "wait".
3 years' search for this Glendale home
The buyers of this #Glendale home had been searching for a property for 3 years.
.
Their agent put in several offers on their behalf, but they could not get the job done.
.
My past client and friend referred them over to me. The buyers came by my office in the morning for my "Buyer Orientation" meeting.
.
This is where I take them through the entire purchase process, from beginning to end.
.
In the afternoon I showed them 3 properties. They fell in love with one and immediately decided to put in an offer.
.
After a little negotiating with the seller, my clients got the home for $1,075,000. The sellers original asking price was $1,250,000.
.
3 years of searching with another agent... and in 1 day I found them their home.
.
I hate to toot my own horn... but... TOOT TOOT!

Is a backyard important to you?
.
This #Burbank home does not have much of a backyard and still demanded the million dollar price tag.

If a small yard is a dealbreaker for you, comment below "dealbreaker".
Your home buyer can back out of the deal by using their loan contingency.
Your home buyer can back out from purchasing your property by utilizing their loan contingency.
.
What that means is that if the buyer cannot get a loan, they can back out and still get their deposit back.
.
However, this has to be done during the loan contingency period. Loan contingencies are usually 21 days long and start when you have an executed purchase contract.
.
If the buyer releases their loan contingency on day 21, they can no longer back out of the deal because of their loan contingency.
Pre-approval letter: Banks vs. Broker
Mortgage brokers may be able to provide you with more home loan options over a traditional bank.
.
I suggest you get approved with a traditional bank and a mortgage broker at the same time.
.
Compare the interest rates and fees both lenders are charging you... then choose to work with one or the other.
