2. Jackie, a home seller from 33442 asks, “We just received our first offer for 280,000 for the house in deerfield. The buyer will not negotiate.”

Snor, a home buyer and seller from Brooklyn offers this advice, “Jackie, am going to say something here, and I hope you don’t take it the wrong way. Asking a question of this nature in this forum is the stupidest thing on earth. with that said, her is my advice….”

10. Jeane Heroux, a home seller from Harwich Port has a Short sale credit question….
