Recent purchase

Long story short, I bought my second house (moving out of our starter). We are starting to move in storage (it's vacant now) and we close August 8th. I was under the impression from the listing and my agent (who confirmed in text) this house has some sort of central AC. Zillow has (cooling - zoned) My realtor confirmed it had it in the master bedroom and one of the garages (which I was fine adding a duct) it runs a forced air furnace & a boiler. My agent reached out to the seller who isn't willing to do anything, and my agent asked if I was okay with stand-alone units? What are my options? I shot my lawyer and email but I'm bummed. submitted by /u/stockgoup [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1lo5ei4/recent_purchase/

Australian realtors making over $500k GCI

After working with 35+ realtors and generating over $9M in GCI (for over 200+ agents in Canada & USA)... my mentors are helping me bring their expertise to Australia. We'll create compelling FB & IG ads, funnels, set up your CRM and generate weekly reports to show you the meteoric progress. This would work more affectively to australian realtors making over $500k GCI, but we can talk even if you're making lesser than that.

Contract signed, still having showings??

I’m a first-time home buyer, and I’m a bit confused about what’s going on. We signed a purchase contract Thursday night (so technically Friday), and now it’s late Saturday night—basically Sunday. The listing agent has been difficult to work with from the beginning. At one point, she was rejecting calls from my realtor who was just trying to get a status update after we hadn’t heard anything. Eventually, their side asked if we could extend our offer through the following day—but we declined, since we wanted to move forward on another home if this one didn’t work out. Then, somewhat unexpectedly, the sellers ended up signing our offer that same night. So as of Thursday night, the contract was signed by both parties and our earnest money was submitted and cashed. Since then, I’ve been keeping an eye on the MLS to see if the listing changes to “pending,” but it hasn’t. There was an open house scheduled for Saturday (today), so my realtor reached out to confirm whether it was canceled—b...

Anything to share on FlatFeeListings?

I am considering listing my home via FlatFee. It is staged, entry level, and ready to go. I am capable of handling my own negotiations and showings. I have tried seller agents but they have so far been sleepy middlemen with nothing tangible to offer. If I list at a serious price, offer 2.5% buyer agent, and have great listing & photos-how do we expect this to be perceived? My location is kinda soft within the market, so I cant afford to going in weak myself-or have a soft seller agent... submitted by /u/flushbunking [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1lnarzj/anything_to_share_on_flatfeelistings/

Renting from owners company

Location: New York Is it legal for someone who's house burned down to buy a house with a company he owns and then rent it back to himself so the fire insurance company pays for his "rental" while his house is being rebuilt. In essence he is having his mortgage paid by the fire insurance company while the house he lived is rebuilr. submitted by /u/RCFlyer2021 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ln84qo/renting_from_owners_company/

When your predictions are spot on — but life plays by its own rules.

Not long ago, I had a situation that turned into a valuable lesson for me. I was helping a fantastic client — an Australian gentleman in his 70s — find a villa here in Bali. And we landed on a great one: a massive four-bedroom property, 372 square meters of living space, in a beautiful, quiet area just 15 minutes from the ocean. The price? $550,000. Now, that might sound like a lot at first glance, but for Bali — considering the size, quality, and potential — it was more than fair. And no, it wasn’t one of those overly hyped projects with neon colors, pop-art statues, and ambitions to host the next P. Diddy pool party. It was a proper home. A solid, high-quality build with an unusually long leasehold — perfect for either long-term living or smart rental returns. Personally, I see properties like that as real gold for investors. And the numbers backed me up. Yes, some clients were hesitant about the location (God forbid, a whole 15-minute drive under the sun). That classic “too f...

What is the best way to transfer a piece of property to a non-family member with minimal taxes or property tax increases?

When contractors don't show up as planned, how do you usually find out?

When you're managing contractors and they're a no-show, what's your usual experience? Do they text you beforehand? Do you find out when you show up to the site? How does it usually play out? Just trying to understand how common this is and how people handle it. submitted by /u/Successful_Ask518 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1llraev/when_contractors_dont_show_up_as_planned_how_do/
