“I think maybe you’re a tool too. Is this Michael again?????”
Then I will wear my toolness proudly!
[Who the heck is Michael?]
I think maybe you’re a tool too. Is this Michael again?????
Are you going all existential on us DIBS? Are you a tool? Am I a tool? Will we ever really know our toolness? ; )
snappy, yes. I remember about a half-dozen requests to tell us what happened. I cannot imagine that he was slapped with a court injunction to not speak on the issue, which would be the only excuse I might accept (actually, given my disdain for the legal system, maybe not even that ;))
i think maybe i am a tool…anybody have any thoughts?
Wow, Denton. So, did the letter from the buyer help sway you or were they simply the highest bidder? I think it would be nice to get a letter from a potential buyer. That could especially be useful if you have a home full of period details you’d like to see preserved and you are concerned about whether the buyer would be gutting it or looking to sell it off to a developer.
“Denton, did the underpricing also move the co-op super fast?”
Snappy, I think it did. Brokers are very good about telling multiple bidders that there are other bidders who really want it.
In my case, not only did I get over ask I got a very nice letter from the buyer explaining why I should sell it to him!
But those were the good ol’ days for sellers (3rd quarter 2007). Don’t know about that now.
Interesting points chicken. Thx.
And thanks for responding DIBS, it was something that’s popped into my ‘pretty little head’ from time to time. : )

Really? I’ve always gotten the impression this was very much a pro-development site, although it has always rightly blasted the cutting corners, really ugly development. Hence the realtor/development ads…..can’t completely bite the hand that feeds you.
