"As soon as I saw her photo, I knew she was it"
"This is about our Realtor and friend, Frances Hicks of First Team Real Estate. We had been thinking about relocating from Florida to California. In November of 2006, we got serious about the move; however, we were not familiar with the areas. We knew we wanted to live in Orange County...but where? We needed a real estate agent, so we went on the Internet and skimming through the agents, Frances Hicks' picture came up. I said to my husband "this is our agent, she looks like she knows what it is all about." We contacted Frances and not knowing what was available we bugged her for 4 months. We found that nothing was to much for her to accomodate our questions, putting us at ease and never fluffing us off. We have relocated here to Irvine and from all of the time Frances spent with us, we are more than satisfied with our area and our apartment. We found Frances to be an extradinary person, very qualified and it is our pleasure knowing her. Sincerely, Evelyn and Jerry Levine"

Making An Offer >How Much To Offer
When you make an offer on a house, your biggest decision is how much to offer. Although you don't want to pay more than you have to, it is sometimes hard to predict how much is "enough" for the seller.
Some sellers price their homes at their bottom line and may be unwilling to negotiate, unless the house has been on the market for a long time. Others build in a little room for negotiation. Some sellers are more motivated than others to get their homes sold. Whatever your situation, it is hard to know what sellers will do until they are presented with an offer.
If your offer is very low, your finances might look shaky, and asking the sellers to pick up closing costs might just result in a refusal of your offer. If your original proposal is unacceptable, the seller will usually make a counter offer. While sellers like to get their asking prices, good listing agents prepare them for the possibility of receiving offers that involve some compromises.
