Above and beyond?

During lunch I saved a closing for my Broker brother who was out of town.

Buyer's final day before closing inspection and no hot water...

He asked me to take a look because buyer wanted $1,000 knocked off the price.

Turned out to be the earthquake valve needed to be reset... looks like someone bumped it mowing the lawn is my best guess.

Come to think of it... I've pulled the bacon out of the fire a number of times... like when the once in 50 years hard frost came and two of his listings had frozen pipes and one a burst pipe...

I would say his above and beyond was making bridge loans and even buying a few homes so his clients could close on the home they wanted...

One was a colleague from work... they had found their forever dream home and were having trouble closing within the time frame because their buyers kept having problems... my brother put up the money and they got the home of their dreams in Bootjack... even a lake went with it!

Jeez you guys do a lot. I went to I my home inspection and nothing was turned on. No gas, AC was shut off couldn't check appliances. Hell my realtor sent her husband ( which I detested) because he just wanted me to buy something and get out if their hair and he wasnt even a realtor. He had the gall to tell me and the inspector we are being ridiculous by taking too long to check the house (2500 sq feet) and that every house has some issues and can we please hurry because he has a appointment.
No joke. I ended up walking.

You guys are awesome. I don't do stuff like that. I honestly just don't have the time. I have paid for repairs on short sales and I did prime the peeling paint on a house with my client (permission of seller) so that we could fund VA once. Other than that, I just know a lot of inexpensive contractors for lawn work, dump runs, etc. All those common small things that come up all the time.

I read a Florida Realtor's blog from trulia, she writes "Once a buyer provides a loan commitment letter they waive their finance contingency and are not entitled to get their deposit back if they don't close due to a finace issue". Florida realtors, what do you think? Is she right?
