Disagreement with agent on repair negotiations

We are selling in a hot market in VA. We got several full price offers 2 days after our home hit the market. We picked the better offer and the buyer scheduled their inspection. The inspection came back with quite a few things which we expected for our price point and age of the house. The buyer started the repair negotiation with one large item they want and a credit for some smaller items.

Ok great. So we come up with a counteroffer we want to present. We want to counter with the full credit they are asking for but no to the big repair, hoping we can meet in the middle. Our agent disagrees and is refusing to present our counteroffer. She keeps repeating we need to offer them everything they are asking for. We’ve been arguing about it with her for days. I just want to present my counteroffer and see where it goes but the agent is refusing to present it, repeating that we need to honor all of their requests.

I’m honestly baffled and I don’t know what to do. This is a new agent who we are friends with and I’m now regretting doing such a large financial transaction involving a friend. I just want to negotiate with the buyer! I don’t understand how it would make sense to start a negotiation by saying yes to everything they are asking for?

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...

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/
