Easy. Listen to the professional. So often when I work with buyers they ask the same questions. Do you think they'll take .....? Or it's a buyers market can't we offer less? The home is vacant, doesn't this mean we can hit them hard? It's been on the market 122 days should we offer much less?

I always rewind the scenario for my buyers when they listed and sold their home. A buyer's market doesn't always give the seller an increased amount of equity to "come down." The only way to know what a seller is going to take is simply to submit an offer. Verbal offers are worthless and should be avoided at all costs. If you want your offer to be taken seriously then put it in writing and demonstrate your follow through with items like a verifiable pre approval letter. Pre qual letters don't usually suffice. If you are paying cash, be prepared to hand over a copy of your bank statement to the professional who is helping you buy your new home. Your word & a hand shake may work with friends and family but not with opposing counsel in a Real Estate Transaction.

A good Realtor will show you the good, the bad and the ugly of every neighborhood that you are interested in. Showing comps is good, but showing a detailed analysis of the trends, competition, taxes, history of the area is essential. A good offer is one that is researched and not a number pulled from the sky. If the home is listed for $130,000 and your "get it" for $122,000 don't assume you got a "fair shake." If you haven't seen the comparables and done your homework than you may have just purchased an overpriced home. In the same situation if the home is listed for 130k and the most recent comparable sales are 125k than you know the home is padded for negotiations, commissions or something else. I tend to submit my offer where the comparable sales sit, unless the home has items that may have INCREASED value. Hot tubs above the ground don't add to appraisals folks. Be sure to understand which items stay with the home and which ones are NOT considered fixtures. Intrinsic value is important, but understand perspective when using this mind set.

Your offer should be submitted by email, typed and quickly given. Listing agents need to be able to read the offer and not have to call and go over the details that were smeared across the fax. Copies of your earnest money check and option period check are not always required but certainly a good way to send the message that you are serious and ready to do business!

Be sure to have your ducks in a row with your preferred lender. Don't assume! Get your loan officer everything he or she needs! Understand your payment, interest rate, Good Faith Estimate and all the details. You don't want to fall in love with a home you cannot purchase.

Lastly, ask your Realtor to provide you with literature, pamphlets or anything else to assist you on the home-buying process, especially if you are a first time home buyer!

Did you know that the most likely lawsuit a broker or seller will face is one based on the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act?. It allows consumers to sue sellers of goods or services who engage in deceptive trade practices.

"unfair" during a sell. Triple damage liability for a loser! They have this thing called the "laundry list" of Violations that are important to mention in my opinion.

1. Causing confusion as to-the source of sponsorship of projects. In other words, don't say Jenn-Air unless it is!

2. Don't say Jacuzzi, unless it is!

3. **Causing confusion as to affiliations or connections in business can be deceptive!

4. Don't represent goods as new, unless they are! WHAT? What defines new? 2 hours? 2 days, 2 weeks? I always say "newer"

5. False statements about repairs!

6. False statements about billing!

A person may sue for economic damages and for mental anguish. The damages are tripled if it was "intentional"

*******Defenses that are said to probably not work,

1. waiver

2. "as-is"

3. Caveat emptor

ONLY CERTAIN waivers can work. This is supposedly one of them.

"I waive the my rights under the Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act, Section 17.41 et seq., Business & Commerce Code, a law that gives consumers special rights and protections. After consultation with an attorney of my selection, I voluntarily consent to this waiver."

I will be adding this clause to any "as-is" property.
