Closing on the house Monday and finally got to look at the final CD after work. Everything i guess looks okay except for my realtors commission, which is 3%. The seller is paying 2.5% of his commission (stated in the contract to buy the home) which leaves me paying .5% of the sale price ($355,000) which means i should be paying a commission of 1,775, but its listed as 2175 on the CD. I asked my realtor and he said theres admin fee or something along those lines, but my buyers agent agreement only states the 3% commission and does not disclose any additional fees. Am i right to request the additional $400 to be removed? submitted by /u/MonsterMash_479 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1u3ecjp/final_closing_disclosure_help/

I made a cash offer (I'm the buyer, no agent) on a piece of land. I have done FSBO before and am good on the research there. When the seller's agent responded with a counter offer, they asked if they can put down that we are "represented" by them and said it does not change anything, no commission changes, etc. Is there actually ANY sort difference? Any legal difference? To clarify: I'm buying, no agent. They are selling, have an agent. submitted by /u/jazifritz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1u3d355/does_it_matter_if_sellers_agent_represents_me/

I posted a few days ago https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/s/EzFx7lnDBL Thanks for all the advice. Yes I am / was 100% emotional about the situation and trying not to be. Our lawyer updated us the seller plans to stay 30 days after the suggested closing dates ( July 15 now ). He cannot find housing for himself, 2 kids and a dog. Now I feel Terrible and everyone here is in a bad position. We may offer to foster the dog since that seems to be a huge issue for the sellers, or just walk away after 30 days. I don’t know but either way I feel a whole mix of emotions; angry, annoyed, sad for the kids and dog, over the whole thing et. submitted by /u/Effective-Tax-9183 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1u34cpj/seller_dragging_out_closing_continued/

I'm shopping in many different regions of the US and sites like Zillow don't offer any way to contact agents other than the first one I started working with. I've already asked her for referrals in the areas outside her territory but she doesn't always have one to offer. Does Zillow just assume everyone only shops in one territory at a time? How are you supposed to connect with agents in other regions? submitted by /u/isaacmarionauthor [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1u26b5z/how_do_you_work_with_agents_in_multiple/

At what distance do they lower home value? submitted by /u/fueledbycoffee95 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1u1vrs0/data_centres/

What do you personally think would be considered a lowball offer? If you're a realtor, what is your experience with what sellers perceive to be low-ball offers? Does it have more to do with the percentage off the asking price, or the actual dollar amount? It seems that as home values go up, people still perceive specific dollar amounts below asking price to be insulting. For example, offering $50k less than asking on a $250k house is 20% off but it's roughly only 7% off a $650k house. However, it seems sellers have the same visceral reaction to the dollar amount requested off regardless of asking price. submitted by /u/BellLopsided2502 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1u1ge1f/what_is_considered_a_lowball_offer_to_you/

Hello, I have an issue. I’m selling my home for 200k which I and my realtor believe is more than fair for the home. We had an inspection and everything came back perfect. The survey came back perfect as well. The problem came with the appraiser. It came back $174. I have cameras around the house, so I was able to receive recordings and timestamps of his visit. He was scheduled to perform his appraisal from 12pm to 1pm. He arrived 30 minutes late and spent 5 minutes outside and less than 5 minutes in the house. He only walked into one room and neglected the two bedrooms and bathroom. We was in and out in less than 5 minutes. In total he was at my house for just less than 10 minutes. My realtor was shocked to hear this. Was I treated unfairly, or is this par for the course? submitted by /u/JosephCraftHD [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1u1cdnt/appraisal_can_back_lower_than_selling_price/

So I’m currently looking at a house for me as a primary residence not as an investment. I’ve seen alot of things I really like but when I look at the numbers I’m just like what is this person thinking I looked at 4 places in two communities and it’s almost like people don’t look at comps In one subdivisions one place is listed at 440k, the other at 460k ( that one been on the market over a year) the last identical unit sold for 400k In the other subdivision their asking 475k ( dropped from 500k) most recent one that layout in sane area sold for 445k and of last year Are people today just making up numbers, or is it a my area problem. Like the one listed for 475k ( which o actually like and will make an offer on) has called my realtor a few times asking if her client is still interested so the market seems to be agreeing with me submitted by /u/Thick_Cookie_7838 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1u1a9gq/do_people_nowadays_j...
