Starting a real estate career in another state

Hello Real Estate Kings and Queens,

I'm getting ready to graduate from university here this summer (M21) with a degree in digital marketing. I've enjoyed working in large and small business settings for other people, have some clients that I market for (freelance digital marketing), but have found that my ambitions are not suited to your standard 9-5 office job. I live for the hustle and the grind. I've been shadowing a successful local real estate agent in my home state area, Michigan, to test the waters in this career path and I'm sure this is the route for me. This kind of work is what gets me going, and I'm super excited to have found it.

However, I don't want to spend my life here in Michigan. I'm looking to relocate to the Tempe/Mesa area of Arizona, and I am wondering what hurdles any of you agents or realtors have encountered becoming an agent in a state where you don't have near the same sized sphere as you do in your hometown, for example. How did you break the barrier in a new location? What worked, what didn't? Any advice or insight is much appreciated!

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/
