Hi all, My husband inherited a 1.5 acre lot from his parents and we don't have the time or interest in fixing it up. We contacted an agent and we signed all the documents, including Texas Realtors form 'Residential Real Estate Listing Agreement Exclusive Right to Sell'. The week we did this, we told the agent to give us 2 days to get to the property so we could mow it and leave her the keys so she could bring a key box and get the photographer out. We had this done on April 12th. Since then, our agent hasn't even stepped foot or seen the property in person, has not brought a lock box or a for sale sign, and there has also been no pictures taken. We are frustrated because we just want to get the show on the road and she doesn't seem motivated or tells us she will try to make it out and doesn't. The contract we signed with her stated the listing date began on April 11th and ends October 31st, but as of this moment, there have been no pictures, no drafting of t...

So I want to do a fast sale of my single family house. It’s in bad shape and needs Many repairs; I am unable and unwilling to do anything about them. I have spoken with two agents who also do flips and one knows of a person looking for a tear down to build in this area (highly desirable area). I have two parcels of land so someone could build quite a large house on the property. I’m looking for advice on how to choose a realtor. I have never sold before and need to get the most money out of this as I can. I bought in 2017 for 100k and have a mortgage at 4 1/4%. I have around 80-85 left plus a heloc of 9500 plus some debts I need to pay off. Any advice or suggestions would be most helpful. submitted by /u/Original_Flounder_18 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1sxzsav/wanting_to_sell_as_is_in_wi/

So, we (me and my 2 siblings) have inherited a 6.5% interest in a commercial property. As executor, I gave everyone the option to purchase this interest at a 15% CAP rate. This make sure that whoever buys it, will at minimum get their cash out over the course of the lease (5 years left), and also made it clear that if tenant renews, then it is a great deal, but that is a big IF. You could be left with an empty building worth about 30% of its original cost. Basically, they bought a 15 year lease and are making 7% on the cash invested. So now you know the backstory. Neither of the siblings want the property, so I have bought them out. My question is, how to I document the transfer of interest to me from the estate? I only have a 6.5% interest, so I assume I have no need to get a quit claim signed. I was thinking a memo of understanding between the parties stating that they have been paid and have no interest in the property, and the interest will go to me. Have this signed and notarize...

Long backstory.. Our current agent has sold a home of ours and also bought our current home. We are looking to buy and sell again so we signed a buyers agreement with them. We have been looking since September 2025. We admittedly do have a steep requirements list that I think our agent doesn't really like because it makes it harder to find a suitable property. We missed out on a property that was bought sight unseen. I expressed my concerns that I didn't think it would make it to market when I saw the "coming soon" listing but my concerns were dismissed. I brought it up multiple times and we were considering maybe doing the same to have a chance. I was told essentially I was being silly and that our requirements are not the typical ones of most buyers so there shouldn't be an issue. Well after an hour long call about the property, I get a phone call right back from our agent saying it's under contract. I was pissed. After that moment our agent told us th...

Hi everyone, I’m personally a first time buyer. My husband and I have been renting (a one bedroom apartment) for about 5 or so years now. We have another kiddo on the way to make us a family of four so we definitely need to upgrade. With that being said, grandmother is helping my family put a down payment on a condo. She is strict about the condo and not a home as maintaining a home would be more costly - I do agree with her on that. Condos that have peaked my interest are townhouse styles condos which I noticed also come with an HOA fee. The original complex we were looking at which had two condos for sale, we missed grabbing them. One went into contract before we were able to place an offer, that has since closed. The other, which needed heavy maintenance, went way over its asking price and is now pending. The HOA fee for this one was under $400 which I personally didn’t mind. The units were about (1.2k - 1.4k square feet) Now, this new unit that I noticed that went on market tha...

When we signed our agreement with our listing agent, there was a clause in there about not having our cameras inside because of North Carolina not allowing it? Which is fine. I don't want to hear what the buyers are saying, I don't really care. My issue comes when two separate agents have left my front door open. We are leaving for a foreign country and my cat is under quarantine. He is caged up when I leave, however I forgot one time because it was a last minute showing and this is one of the people who left my doors open. We have stray cats because we are kind of rural and I don't want him to get into a fight with one and risk the very expensive FAVN test that I had to get to clear him. I will 1,000% make sure he is locked up from here on out, but that doesn't stop as stray animal from coming in and attacking through the cage bars if the door is left open. Not to mention it's freaking mosquito season. There are wasps and bees and other horrible little critters I...

Hi r/RealEstate , I've lived in my current home since 2017. After a bad divorce a few years ago, I'm living in this place alone. I ended up buying out my former partners share of equity with a home equity loan. Thankfully this and the mortgage are my only debts and I'm still living comfortably. This place was our second home, purchased with a home sale contingency for our starter home. This was quite a stressful situation finding our next home after ours went under contract. Thankfully, we did find a nice place but definitely not a dream house. There is also an issue that was there in 2017 that is still here in 2026. There is nothing I can do to fix living along a busy road (11K vehicles/day average). There hasn't been that moment of "getting used to it" over the years living here. It's mainly the commercial truck traffic with a lot of engine braking even though it's prohibited in the town. Opening the windows at night is not an option which I real...

I’ll try to keep this concise but with the needed details. So my dad owns about 4 acres in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma, with my childhood home and grandpa’s house on 2 acres that are currently being rented out. He had avoided putting my stepmom on the deed until recently and I’m betting that things will get messy when one of them passes away. With little hope of home ownership in my future, I was contemplating approaching him about buying an acre or so of land from him that I might one day build a small home to retire in. I guess I was just wondering what this would entail/the right way to go about it. Do I have it appraised and buy it? If he wants to “gift” it to me, can we just file a quit claim deed and he files that on his taxes? Basically, how does this work? And please, explain it to me like I’m five because I honestly don’t really understand most of this. TIA! submitted by /u/OK_Tumbleweed18 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1s...

Hi all, we are buying a model home built by pulte in 2022, and they are closing out the community so selling the last ~10 houses including 3 or 4 model homes now in 2026. We have the certificate of occupancy and the warranty clocks have all started at c/o, so we don’t get the 1yr or 2yr. There’s some of the 5yr and 10yr left. (We asked for them to get restarted, they said no) This is in northern New Mexico, so in the Southwest. What should we be looking out for? a home inspection is scheduled with our own inspector, recommended by our buyers broker. We decided to go new build because of space + floorplan + cost of it compared to existing homes in our area, and our interest in doing as little work on the house as possible (hopefully). A lot of homes in our area are older, adobe style and would need a lot of work or are out of our price range. Any one with experience buying model homes specifically? submitted by /u/Chadbrochill29 [link] [comments] source https://www.redd...
