I've been reading some of the post regarding bad experiences and bidding wars.
But, I have good news. I'm in a long distance relationship, so it was very hard to coordinate our house hunting. She (fiance) would search the MLS listing and then forward to agent and I would go to see the houses and give thumbs up or down (did this only 2 times) then she would go with the kids and confirm. long story short we all agreed on 1 particular house. The house was listed $30,000 below neighborhood comps. but we still offered $5,000 less than asking price on 10/23, in the same day seller accepted offer (great!!) Agent and mortage broker started the proceedings quickly. We're closing the week of thanksgiving. Yeh!!
I must say that my agent has been very professional, and on point with all of our needs. My hat goes off to all hard working RE agents!!
