Information you may need before making an offer Just because you think you found the home of your dreams doesn't mean you need to jump right on and make an offer. In hot markets, not waiting too long is always ideal but now that the market has slowed slightly in the fall and winter months it's best to take just one or two steps back and get all the information before even making an offer.

The listing agent is not obligated to tell you this information but you may be able to determine why through a series of extenuating circumstances and other information. If it's a negative reason,... 11/11/2013
