 Friends who are looking for a home under 400k are having a heck of a time. When they see a property listed in their price range, it is usually a starting bid at an auction. These special buyers said to me, " we can fix ugly," but we cannot deal with a higher price point.

Coming Soon StatusMy listings always come on the market in Coming Soon status on Friday, then generally Active the following Thursday.  Again this morning I got a call from an agent asking if she can show my new listing (in Coming Soon Status) today.  What does Coming Soon mean?  It means that the seller has signed a listing agreement with my brokerage and has agreed for the marketing to begin.  No showings will occur until after it is in Active Status.  According to Bright MLS certain rules and regulations must be adhered to and failure to do so can result in losing your ability to use Bright MLS, fines, and loss of your real estate license. In order for the property to be in Coming Soon Status: There must be a signed listing agreement that includes an addendum explaining Coming Soon N...
