Short review?!? My letter to our Sundae representative, Joshua Summers, is sufficient, with this additional explanation: Our initial contact and visit with Josh was quite positive, but we still wanted to retail, rather than wholesale our home. We knew we could accept what a buyer would see as a significant savings over ARV (we've done real estate investing ourselves, primarily to benefit ourselves as needed, and understand the many issues involved and the cash buyer mindset). Thus we would become our own investors...if Sundae proved to be a flop. So, after Josh had done all the work, including setting up the inspections, property photography, and presenting it to Sundae investors, we eventually rejected all the bids (in our opinion, some Sundae investors were indeed the kind of investors which Sundae ads had ridiculed, but that's not really surprising, is it?). That failing, we proceeded with our own plans for a minor fix-up to bring the home to a more attractive appearance and better price point... But then, a few months later, I began to have some health problems which were not to be easily resolved. Furthermore, they would not permit me the exercise of my own skills to do renovation work or the time to hire subs to do it on my behalf. So, we called Josh to say we would like to have a do-over (not thinking he would agree, given the previous failed time investment). Surprisingly, he agreed, and the process started all over. The bids were better, but still too low (we knew what the ARV was and what % ROI sagacious investors need; our expectation (both now and earlier) provided for that. We decided to counter one of the investor bids. True to his duty as a Realtor of integrity, Josh represented OUR interest to the investor, viz. our counter (which was actually $16k less than our original target selling price, but we knew the investor might just walk away). Josh told us, he doubted the investor would bite and our ask for 30-day rent back (to accommodate delay related to my increasing medical issues) would be a tough sell to the investor. But, he did it anyway and apparently did not attempt to dissuade the investor from our counter ask. Now, here's my / our text to Josh, ~before~ anybody at Sundae (including Josh) asked for it: "Hi Josh. "RB here, in San Bernardino. Lee and I want to let you know how much we appreciate everything you did to help us get this thing taken care of. "I'm having some health problems and it has turned out, this may truly have been the very wisest thing we could've done under the circumstances. "Take care of yourself and give us a call sometime. "You are welcome to refer clients to us for a positive report on our satisfaction." We stand by that last sentence and would love to speak to any skeptics. We ended up with only a few thousand less than a ARV discounted retail sale would have brought, and we did (and spent) nothing more than that to get the deal done. It has truly proven to be the wisest decision we could have made.
