May 8, 2008

#10 Your buyers have a mortgage commitment showing proof of income, tax returns, pay stubs, letters of employment, 20% down, a 780 fico score, drug test, DNA sample and assignment of first born…good to go.

#9 One of your 73 listings just got a cash offer – at full asking price!

#8 You’ve run out of “price reduced” signs and have decided to buy reprints saying
new price.”

#7 Because waiting months to receive your commission check after already waiting months to get a deal into escrow is legally considered cruel and unusual punishment.

#6 It’s time to pay your taxes (or so the IRS letter said…)

#5 Better odds than a scratch and win…

#4 Your Broker took down the ATM sign from above his office door.

#3 You persuaded a Bank Underwriter to say “yes” to your deal by convincing them REO stood for “really exceptional offer.”

#2 Because you’re too polite to tell your buyers the “open house tour” you just took them on cost you $900 in gas.

#1 … reason why it’s a good time to receive a commission advance: You’ve earned it!
