Quotables
“A lot of people are waiting and the thing is if you wait for them to do that, what’s gonna happen is when interest rates drop, people are gonna go into the buying frenzy and prices are gonna go back up.”
“A realtor, every single one of them will tell you they can buy foreclosures but if you work with someone who is a foreclosure expert, they will know who to call at the bank, how to negotiate this, and understand the process all the way through.”
“Even when people are telling you stories, you have to understand when they sold this property because some of this might not have been because they did amazing things – some of this, the market just bailed them out.”
