Charles Fitzgerald Butler

A working estate agent writing about his own market is a rare thing on this platform, and Charles Fitzgerald Butler produced dozens of posts on one corner of southern California. The advice is specific to that market and the thinking transfers anywhere.

He is best on the parts people get wrong. Why a foreclosure is not automatically a bargain, and how to judge one the way an investor would. What the final walk through is actually for and what it protects you from. Why negotiating on a bank owned property takes patience most buyers do not have.

Sellers get equal attention, on preparing a house for a virtual tour, on keeping maintenance ahead of a sale, and on the safety precautions an open house needs.

He also covers buying for a blended family, which nobody else writes about.

If you are buying or selling anywhere, read the foreclosure and walk through posts. The market is local and the method is not.
