House Hunt: Property for Sale in Mendota Heights Area

Planning on taking a summer vacation? If your home is on the market, there’s no reason to take it off the market while you’re away. While it’s better to negotiate terms and prices in person, some of the work can be done through the internet or by phone and fax.

Let your agent have a way to contact you while you are up at the cabin or wandering the spice market in Istanbul whether it’s by fax at the nearest Kinkos or by international cell phone. Discuss how you want to handle a possible offer if one comes in while you’re on vacation before you go.

The busy buying season that is the Minnesota summer is too short to lose even a few days on the market.
