Real estate agent is trying to steal my house

As the title describes, I got a real estate agent and signed a 6 month contract to sell my house. My house sits on an acre in San Diego, California, it has 5 bedrooms and panoramic views through out the house. The house is valued at 650k, this real estate agent who I signed with 4 months ago to sell my house was telling me that there was multiple people who were interested in purchasing my home, he began to tell me that because my home is in bad condition because of landscaping and a few other minor things he said he can sell my house for 450k to an investor that HE knew and that he also had a friend who could also offer me 450k as well. I come to find out that this real estate agent has never even listed my house on MLS, Redfin, Zillow, realtor, or any websites saying that it was for sale. My house was not even listed on his real estate companies website that he works for. This real estate agent knows I have fallen on hard times and that my house is up for foreclosure very soon. He took advantage of my situation and pretty much hung me out to dry for 4 months. I confronted him about my house not being listed online for sale or not even having a sign outside my house and he never texted me back. I waited 30 mins and look up my house and see that he just posted my house for sale 30 mins ago on all the websites. He couldn’t have done this 4 months ago! he was trying to steal my house and make money off of my situation. Is there any legal action I can take against him? Should I call his company? It is a very reputable company. Is this legal for him to do something like this to me?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Co-signing as non-primary resident - effect on size of required downpayment & first time home buyer status?

Contemplating co-signing on a house with my mom and splitting the mortgage payment. I currently have a significantly higher income and much better credit than her. I'm looking at potential home costs and related downpayments but have difficulty using some of the online estimators. From my perspective, this would be somewhat of an investment purchase (I intend to stay in my current location in a different state and contribute to the mortgage), however, for my mom, this would be a primary residence. For purposes of the downpayment size and the type of mortgage arrangement, would it be an investment property or a primary residence? Many thanks for any help. submitted by /u/piercalicious [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/km4hvl/cosigning_as_nonprimary_resident_effect_on_size/
