Just saw a FSBO and the photos were awful. This video is spot on that I wasn’t motivated to see it. I didn’t even bookmark it to keep it in mind.

I bought a house recently in the UK. Very bad photos taken, outdated interior people weren't interested. But I saw the bigger picture and bought it for a good price. Should be a good investment once updated Great video!

Hey Matt I was wondering I know it depends on the size of the property but in general are cabins cheaper than houses?

@TheMattLeighton 2 жыл бұрын

Probably, but that's a very relative question

Hey Matt, Awesome video(s)! Please keep up the content, I'm working as an investor turned agent in Baltimore, MD this made a lot of things click for me when working with buyers.

Where do you go to see if the house has been in the market for 100 days or so?

@TheMattLeighton 3 жыл бұрын

Zillow would be a good start. If you're working with a buyer's agent, your agent can get this list together for you

@bobothepittie5578 5 жыл бұрын

Matt if I list my house on "Make Me Move" does that count as days on the market?

@TheMattLeighton 5 жыл бұрын

Nope! Only in the eyes of Zillow. If you decided to list on the MLS later, your MLS days on market would be zero!

Matt Leighton Question. I’m actually buying a house right now. I live in Amarillo tx Buying a house in central Texas. Never seen it. Never met the real estate agent. Never been to the town. I know I’m kinda craZy. We have agreed on a price. I sent her the Ernest money. Now waiting for the paperwork. At some point I have to send a check for the Balance of the house, who do I send it to ? Title company? Who do I make it out to ? Title co or seller ? Should it be a cashiers check ? I have never bought a home before. Thx.

@TheMattLeighton 4 жыл бұрын

Title company. They should be advising you on where and when to send the money

So how did u come with the $85k ?

@TheMattLeighton 6 жыл бұрын

We negotiated

@cynho3093 5 жыл бұрын

he forgot point one, to save $85k only look at houses over $1million - he forgot another point if location isn't that important - greatly expand your area - I was looking for a house within 200miles & not having much luck in my price point but when I expanded my area to include border states, I found LOTS of great deals.

The price for this home was $315,000!

@TheMattLeighton 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Angel! Thanks for watching! We saved $85k from the list price by negotiating and submitting our offer when the sellers were desperate for an offer. The items explained in the video are what helped us save the $85k. Thanks again for watching!

I like the video but I don't believe you got a 340k house for 255k Maybe you convinced your buyer to buy a different property listed for 255k

@TheMattLeighton 5 жыл бұрын

You are correct. We didn't get a $340k house for $255k. We got a $399k house for $315k. Thanks for watching!

It's possible, my cousin is an agent and he saved his buyer 600k on a 7 figure listing. ( his personal record. )

Haha, right on. Matt, do you have any videos on finding a mortgage lender? should I go though my bank which is small and local or go through my friend who is a real estate agent who's helping me look around? are there good ones/bad ones, red flags to look out for? I don't really know how to start other than to just google away. Great videos so far, i just found the channel!

@TheMattLeighton 5 жыл бұрын

Both! Local bank and trusted real estate agent. See who you like working with better. Their loan packages may be similar but one could have better/different programs than another. Just like you would with trying to find a real estate agent, talk to a few lenders to see who like best

Great thanks Matt appreciate the advice. Keep up the good work, and always ABC!!!
