NEWS
Macleans.ca is catching up to Episode 20 of multiple offers and discussing the distorted reality of real estate photos.
Winning at the Bottom
It’s about time we talk about multiple offers!
We became accustomed to winning multiple offers with no conditions and well-over asking price. It all came to a halt when the market softened. Today we can win with a variety of strategies. The best strategy? Give the Seller assurance that you can follow through.
Question of the Week
Define a bedroom!
