Nothing productive, just need to vent. Got the house ready, been busting my ass to get it ready, and then everything just goes on hold and into waiting. Going 100 mph to 0 in a hurry. Even though I've sold houses before, the anxiety is always the same. It's only been a few days, but still hoping to get at least one tour to get some feedback, or feel like something is happening. The weed isn't helping as much as I would like to relax either, so that's not helping lol. It just kind of sucks lol submitted by /u/Dena844 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1uu15em/rant_about_selling/

Work has me relocating to a dying town, think flint Michigan and you pretty much got it. For work I need to be within 30-45 minutes from my job. Would be in the area 5 years after which I would be able to move while retaining my wage. My employment is safe for that time and for the foreseeable future. The good: more money and obviously my money goes incredibly far towards buying property. The bad: not sure if it’s even worth buying a residence in the area with the possibility of not being able to sell it. Looked at surrounding cities and not one is going to be better off in 5 years as there is no jobs available or future employment in the area for the current population. In this case what is the correct move. I have never been a fan of renting but it almost seems like that would be the best choice. Or Would it be better to get the bare minimum to live in and keep it in good condition as selling a cheap house is easier? Buy something that I could rent out in the future? Although...

You have two different sellers right now- FLORIDA Those who bought in 2023 or before and understand that they can’t list at 2023 pricing, and are actually dropping pricing And then you have those who still think their property can sell at that same price they bought at and what it was worth in 2023, and some are adding on 100-300k to their 2023 priced listing Change my mind submitted by /u/yeahyoubored [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1utr5lc/a_tale_of_two_sellers/

We recently decided to sell our 1500 square-foot 3BR/2BA home and move to have a little more space plus be closer to my husband's job. Our realtor was really confident that it would sell quickly due to the fact that it's on 2 acres and in a very desirable area. We replaced the flooring throughout, which was much needed and also did some work on the front porch and back deck. Even with all the updates, the land and location, I was still concerned that it wouldn't look the best to potential buyers. The walls have quite a few marks, even after a deep cleaning and the front and back storm doors both need to be replaced. After talking with our agent, we decided it would be best to not put any more money into updates, and she assured us that if we priced it right, it would still sell quickly. We listed at 295K after she talked things over with her colleagues. She said she was really confident going into this weekend and thought that maybe we'd even have an offer before the we...

Do they actually pay $800 or do they get it cheaper? submitted by /u/Feeling_Delivery2323 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ut5m82/if_a_realtor_buys_a_home_warranty_for_a_seller/

I'm eyeballing a property on auction.com. I understand I have to do my research on the title, liens etc. I'm wondering if anyone on here was successful in buying a property off auction.com? Or did you run into problems? Thanks! submitted by /u/Historical-Lie-6307 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1usxstg/have_you_successfully_purchased_a_property_at/

Has anyone built predictable conversion funnels with Facebook video ads that generates qualified leads in the RE space? I’m building a funnel for a property management business (residential, single family homes). I’m thinking something like this: Facebook Video ↓ More Helpful Video ↓ Lead Magnet ↓ Email ↓ Case Study ↓ Owner Success Story ↓ Free Rental Strategy Session ↓ Property Management Agreement If you have done this kind of thing successfully then please share your framework or the system that you followed. Thank you! submitted by /u/AGreenProducer [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1usw3lb/fb_video_ads_that_convert/

I’m in the contingency process for a home in Illinois. Due to issues found during inspection and the fact that a couple substantial portions of the home not being available for inspection I advised my agent that I wasn’t interested in proceeding forward with the purchase. I was advised by my agent that in order to protect my earnest money I needed to submit my list of requests and wait for the seller’s response. I did as advised and the seller responded a couple days ago with basically no to everything. My agent asked my feelings on going forward, and I again said I wasn’t interested. Since we were so far apart I followed up the other day expecting to hear the deal feel through, but now I’m being told the seller is considering repairs and getting estimates. I’m curious how long do I have to play this game for? I would very much like to pivot and secure some form of housing as my lease ends in a month and a half. I would have been willing to work with them if they didn’t come out with ...

Hello! So my parents are planning on selling their home within the next year and in the last 20 years of living there they’ve done several DIY remodel projects on it that didn’t involve any contractors, engineering, project planning, permits, etc. My dad is handy, but he does not have any construction/contracting experience so all of these projects look very janky to say the least. I already know most of it is not to code and I fought them before every project to hire someone out. Where do I start with helping them figure out what needs to be done to sell? Do we hire an inspector first? Contact the city? Consult a contractor? In case knowing what was specifically worked on helps to know what/how to address, here’s the list of my dad’s DIY projects: -Full backyard second story deck rebuild with cover attached to roof -cut into the foundation in the basement to install an egress window -two full bathroom remodels including plumbing -built an add on front yard patio cover, also at...
