Local Agent Buys Homes for Cash San Marino - Every month, thousands of homeowners are faced with the stressful dilemma of whether to buy fi rst or sell fi rst. You see, if you buy before selling, you could run the risk of owning two homes. Or, just as bad, if you sell fi rst, you could end up homeless. It’s what insiders in the industry call the Real Estate Catch 22, and it’s an extremely anxious position to fi nd yourself in. This fi nancial and emotional tightrope is one you usually have to walk alone because most agents have no way of helping you with this predicament. But one local Realtor is using a unique Guaranteed Sale Program which solves this dilemma. This program guarantees the sale of your present home before you take possession of your new one. If your home doesn’t sell in 120 days, they will buy it from you themselves for the previously agreed price ensuring that you Public invited to Woman’s Club Annual Luncheon never get caught in the Real Estate Catch 22.
