[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Close to 100 homes for about 10 months. Lost 9 in a row with multiple bids on each home. Some homes were sold the same night we looked at it and didn't even count those. First home we bid under since it was overpriced. But the other 8 offered between 3-15% over ask while waiving contingencies and still lost to cash buyers, investors, and people with deep pockets. Finally got lucky number 10 by getting it before the open house. Learned a lot and got lucky. Could probably be a realtor after all this experience.[/quote]

Yes, I am sure you could after all of this experience.  Would you have the patience to put up with clients like yourself?  Think about that.  The job requires A LOT OF PATIENCE.[/quote]

I am not sure what you mean by clients like us. No one is forcing you to work with us. You are also implying that we had the same Realtor the whole time which we did not for the entire search. When you are spending this type of money in the N Arlington market, there is a minimum expectation of the type knowledge clients expect such as schools, neighborhood boundaries, price per square foot, fair market value, Arlington setbacks, when the seller is taking offers, writing an offer against competitive situations etc. The Arlington market makes it so easy for homes to sell that I find it offensive that Realtors do not know the basics of their jobs besides opening the doors for us.

We knew what we wanted and let our Realtor know our criteria. If you think making 10 offers required patience, the only person to blame in this case would be yourself since we are using your guidance.
