Never let your emotions or ego interfere with logic; that's when you make bad decisions and explains why some people are divorced/married multiple times.

integrity, my highest compliment to a professional

[@mplate1792]

My last buyer was extremely demanding on every little inspection finding. Your clause about no repairs or buyer credits for repairs is pure gold! I'll be sure to use it next time. Thank you!

[@maddierosemusic]

You gotta coach them in a tight market they will kill any chance of getting the property. No or low contingency contracts - as well as cash - is the coin of the realm.

[@jennifertrevisiol3199]

Please post a video on commission structure that is fair if your listing agent is also representing the buyer and the pros and cons of duel representative agent contracts.

[@habibbdvs]

Great advice, Audra! Hiring the right agent really is the first step to success for buyers and sellers. Also, loved your tip on standing out as a buyer by asking the listing agent for guidance!

[@kaystinebrink1220]

Still watching, Audra. Your fantastic info helped our home sell in three days. We hired a top agent in our area who had 30 years of experience.

[@AudraLambert]

Yah...I am thrilled. Congratulations!! Well done!!

[@cherylwhite9071]

I wish you had started doing this sooner! We will be using your agent referral soon. Our last 1 should have gone to jail for theft of personal property. We did check out 2 agencies.

[@mikefults3149]

Great video and best of luck to your clients. They are in good hands.

[@AudraLambert]

Ahh...thanks Mike! We close on the property tomorrow. 8 day close, all cash, $130k over asking price..my sellers are thrilled..and yes, they were a youtube follower. So glad I could help. I love it when a plan comes together. Appreciate your comment.

[@prayonkreutz2398]

I wish our sellers agent would have provided the seller with a home inspection. The house failed its inspection miserably. We had to cancel our contract.

[@mattferg84]

I can’t thank you enough for this video, I didn’t have a good sense of what sellers were evaluating in offers (aside from price and basic contingencies) and this was really helpful

[@silversoulawakening9195]

Audra…you are the gift that keeps on giving. W🤩W. I have binged watched your channel. 20 vids in 24 hours and more to go. How can I even say thank you enough. Sharing with everyone.

[@kathrynp7595]

Would love to see a video on that topic too 🙏

[@AudraLambert]

Will do!! I am on it!!

[@conniewulf6350]

We would also be very interested in a video on cash buyer as well. We are currently looking at homes in Myrtle Beach but having to do this via video or other methods. So very scary to not be able to actually walk into the home and know this is home. We have an agent. But because we live in another state we just can't jump on a plane and fly to Myrtle Beach. We have already lost two houses because we weren't quick enough to book a flight to there.

[@atomicpimp344]

[@redhatbear1135]

My seller was most interested in whether we were going to try to subdivide! Yes, they met us as here half the time the owner is in the home to let you in! The house had been on the market a bit longer than average but not ridiculously so. We wrote an offer than night and drove home about an hour. It was accepted that night! I think the only question was about the appliances that we’d assumed would convey. The sellers husband said they should be sure the refrigerator would actually fit before they requested it not convey. It didn’t fit! We were okay either way as they’d accepted a lower offer and hadn’t actually listed that it would convey. Great agent on our side, I’m not sure we ever met the other agent!

[@threeftr3349]

Congratulations. When we sell our house that may happen to us, my husband has remote meetings most of the day, with government clients all over the nation, so there is no way he can skip to a coffee shop, at a moments notice, and use their WiFi, must be a physical connection for security. It's okay, sellers don't bite, the ones who is respectful, and not complain (includes the buyers agent) about restrictive showings will get our house.

[@redhatbear1135]

@@threeftr3349 😇 This was a few years back, most of us were physically attached to phone lines! I did find a new hotel in Georgia that actually gave me a cable to connect to their internet. Apparently most of their business clients required them as well. I think the contract was faxed to the realtor. The seller was afraid of a failed contract, I not sure why though. It took us a bit longer to get the credit union to approve the loan only because they refused to list all the assets. Even after being told the loan could not be contingent on the sale of the old house, nor us both having jobs in the area! It took about 6 hours to get approval after my husband “had them for lunch”, and they accepted the rest of the documentation. We paid the 15 year loan off about 2-3 years later, when we both moved in full time. We are still in the house and it’s still the weirdest purchase if you don’t count me being laid off before a purchase -- that was when no doc loans had a good reason to exist, thank goodness! I had most of the debt, real estate, and so we put the house in his name! The only thing that happened at settlement was that my husband had to tell the guy twice that the number he’d just calculated was wrong! It was, although he protested it had to be right because he’d used a calculator! Then I didn’t want to escrow taxes and insurance, they had to concede but they called my realtor who told them to leave me alone I wasn’t going to lose a house over unpaid taxes!

[@redhatbear1135]

@@threeftr3349 The doc sign now is pretty nice. I sold my last rental property using that system. A previous rent to own just sent the papers to our local bank, and we got payment that day!

[@AudraLambert]

I am always baffled as to why the homeowner is interfacing with the buyer. Why is the agent no representing the seller? Weird to me. If you were going through a divorce and hired an attorney to represent you, that attorney would not send you to go interface with the other side. Glad everything worked out.

[@redhatbear1135]

@@AudraLambert I was confused by it too, but it seemed fairy common in this area. In a neighboring state the owner at least goes to a coffee shop or a neighbors house. Our sellers were savvy enough to sort of disappear within the house, or on the porch? I’m not sure where they actually went but it wasn’t off the property!

[@stephanie7351]

[@georgiahamilton4346]

Yes!!! The escalation clause. I bought my most recent house this way, would have missed out otherwise. Multiple offers even in 2024 with high interest rates. Work with someone who has done enough deals and local to that market. Escrow etc closed very quickly everything was very clean.

Hi David, Thanks for your comment!! I love the "unrecognizable rest of 2024!"..I am going to work on that:).

[@lorrangee9083]

Audra, I would like some advice on buying a home. A little background on the situation. There is a home that my wife and I love in a fantastic neighborhood. The house is 700k, but it’s been on the market for over a year. ( spec home). In that year, the builder has only lowered the price by 3k. We will be cash buyers, and don’t know where to start on our first offer in today’s market. Of course, I want to get absolutely the best deal. What would your first offer be?

[@AudraLambert]

Hello there! Well, I don't know the market you are referring to...but its always a good idea to reach out to the builder and just ask them this: "I don't want to insult you, but I noticed this property has been on the market for over year. We are interested in the property but have hesitations on making an offer because it appears the market is not in alignment with your price. What is the lowest price you would consider accepting?" Then stop talking (silence is powerful)...let them talk. That's the first place to start. Make sure you are talking to the decision maker...if you don't know..then just ask if you can talk to someone who is making the decisions. Always be polite. Remember, don't talk a lot. I would always make a reasonable offer...not sure what that is for this specific property. I would do some research..even ask a local agent. Best of luck! You'll do great!

[@TrignanoConsulting]

Audra, thank you for some great videos. I know your referral service is closed for now, but I am looking to see my mom's property (elder care issue) and don't have months to interview realtors. How is the best way to find 3 realtors to interview? Also, the house will be empty. Any issue with selling it that way without incurring the cost of staging? Do I have to put a "for sale" sign on the house since I don't want to advertise that the house is empty?

[@Jules0229]

Audra, does it matter if you have a realtor or a broker?

[@AMarshallCBU]

Escalation clause is illegal in Texas.

[@AudraLambert]

Oh...good to know. Thanks for sharing.

[@juliewilhelmi5791]

Audra, how do you feel about realtors representing themselves on a purchase?

[@AudraLambert]

I am not a big fan of any homeowner representing themselves on their own transactions...especially realtors. They can get very crazy! With that said, it really depends on the realtor. If I was selling my house, I'd use someone else to represent me....someone really good!

[@conniewulf6350]

Any recommendations for long distance buyers from one state to another? Its difficult to purchase a home quick enough in Myrtle Beach without actually viewing the property in person even via video. We have lost two houses because we couldn't book a ticket quick enough to do a walk through and make an offer.

[@RABPWarrior]

Audra speed 💨

[@AudraLambert]

Yup..get it done!

[@kathrynp7595]

Do you have a leg up if you have a very strong cash offer over those buyers that need a mortgage ? Just love your videos 💕

[@jsmum196]

Cash is always King.

[@AudraLambert]

I LOVE CASH...because I really really hate dealing with lenders. Lenders can royally screw up a transaction. An underwriter can be incredibly unreasonable. Mortgage lenders take their time (most of the time). There are a million reasons why cash is better than working with a lender. However, a lot of cash buyers know this and want a discount....not always.

[@AudraLambert]
