In honor of stupid question day

East Valley Real Estate: Stupid question day

East Valley Team member Dean Ouellette asks some questions in honor of a national day.

September 28th is national ask a stupid question day, so in honor of that…

Why do some lenders think a contract closing date is a “suggested date?”

Why does a buyer think a short sale is actually a short process, and why do they put in an offer on the house if they are not willing to wait for it?

Why can’t a government agency hire someone who can do math? Fannie Mae and their number crunchers seem to think it is better to foreclose than approve a short sale?

Why is it that it has been 10 years since the Electronic Signature Act and agents still don’t understand they are legal?

Why would a buyer put a lowball offer in on six properties in a row, then on the seventh when they know there are multiple offers do the same thing and expect different results?

Why would an agent accept a short sale deal if they know the lender is Chase bank? (Why do we?)

Why would a buyer use Chase to finance a new purchase if they know how difficult they are to work with?

Why do people actually think banks want to help them? Don’t they see what is really going on with loan modifications?

So the seller has to fix everything on the inspection list even the cracked light switch right?

Why would agents resort to using magic 8 balls and fairy dust to get deals closed?

Why do i make stupid fantasy football bets when I know the weeks I don’t bet I win, and every week I do bet, I lose?
