Over priced properties

[Quentin Hamilton]

I got a offer under contract yesterday I put it in about a week ago at 70% of asking price which was 129900 at the time I offered 90k but after it was accepted I looked on the bay county appraiser site and the just value was only 68k it seems like almost every deal I get now I got to cancel because they were overpriced to begin with and 70% of asking price just isn't a big enough spread what should I do?

@Quentin Hamilton Sounds like it's time for you to make an investment in your business to get accurate values.  Some options:

• Find an agent that will allow you to be an assistant. I don't know about Florida but some states allow agents to have assistants for a small fee. The assistant then has access to the MLS.
• Become an agent
• Find a company (like REI black book) that has access to the Core Logic sales database. Pay the fee & run your own comparables
