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?

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...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
