It is not time to tell the seller.If you don't want to get, a seller excited and set up for disappointment, wait to tell them about verbal offers. An offer is only an offer when it's in writing with dates and terms and conditions, EMD and lender letters, proof of funds, exclusions, disclosures and signatures, and a few more points in our 40-plus page Maryland contract. Some agents will tell you the buyers are interested and try to negotiate a price, date, and terms but do not write a formal offer.Some agents say they don't want to waste their time and want to run it by you verbally.

 Hand-delivered, it doesn't get any better! It's been a couple of years since I sold a home for Myra; I affectionately call her my "Admyra."

I have had buyers looking for large condos for a few years. They come from large single-family homes and are ready for easy one-level living. These buyers are right-sizing, not down-sizing. They want space for entertaining, state-of-the-art gourmet kitchens, a lavish spa bath, and room for guests and family to visit. They want the convenience of shopping, gyms, and restaurants. What have I found? These patio homes and condos do NOT exist in our Baltimore area but are plentiful in other states.
