When I say the assessor looked at the "report", what I am referring to is an appraisal report. . Yes, before the assessor came over, I hired an appraiser to measure my unit (cost was $75). . That way when when the assessor showed up, I was able to hand him an official measurement by a licensed appraiser.
Both a short sale and a foreclosure will severely damage your credit score.
keep that in mind before you go down either road.

If your home buyers are not removing their contingencies, they are not serious buyers.
.
Drop them as soon as possible and make sure your agent puts your home as "Active" again on the MLS.
If your agent does not provide you with a marketing video for your for sale property, you will leave money on the table.
-
Period.
-
End of story.
-
I know for a fact that our marketing videos get thousands of views. Why would you want to miss out on thousands of views?
-
If you want top dollar for your property, hire an agent that provides this service.
Use a drone shot to introduce your viewers to the outside of the home.
But don't linger too long... you will lose your audience.
Get to the good stuff quickly, show the kitchen and bathrooms as soon as possible.
You will get more money for your property if you deliver it vacant upon sale.
If you have tenants living at your property, and you plan on selling, it's time to give them a 60 day notice to move.
-
If you don't want to do that, keep in mind only investors will be making offers on your property.
-
That cuts your potential buyer pool from 100% of the market, down to 20%.
-
Having less buyers for your property means you will not be getting the top dollar competition demands.
New York does not have a MLS. I KNOW! I can't believe it either!
-That means the first line of their property descriptions needs to be very descriptive and well crafted.
-This needs to be done so that Google picks it up.
-If their listings doesn't make it on to Google searches, that means potential buyers won't see that its available.
-I often look at and copy the property descriptions New York agents write. This helps me to be as bold as possible starting from the first line.-You can do the same when selling your property.
-Fun Fact: I got engaged to my beautiful wife in New York... right in the middle of Central Park!
Almost always the original purchase contract says that the property is to be sold in as-is condition with no repairs done by the seller.
-
However, after the buyer does their inspections, they usually try to change the original contract by asking for a repair or credit.
-
Do you have to agree to their demands? NO.
-
Your choices are to either accept, reject, or counter them.
-
Keep in mind that if you flat out reject you could lose that buyer and have to start all over with a new buyer.
