Do we always have to go to our realtor’s office to put in an offer?

We’ve been house hunting for several months now. We found our realtor through our friends, they were really happy with him so we figured we could work with him too. His office is a bit far from where we live, about 45-50 minutes away. It’s not terrible. But he does insist we go to his office whenever we want to put in an offer. We’ve only put in one offer so far, so this happened once. But we want to put in an offer on a house we saw last night.

Unfortunately, my boyfriend has a wacky work schedule. So we didn’t go last night after viewing the house to put in an offer. It just wouldn’t have worked out time wise. So now we’ll have to go very late tonight to put in the offer. Luckily the owners are giving people till Monday before all offers are reviewed. I’ve asked multiple times if this process is something we can do over docusign or anything like that and have been told no, it would be best to go to the office to put in the offer.

While I’m very aware we made this choice to work with this guy for several months now, I will say having to go to his office to put in an offer has been a slight obstacle. It’s not always convenient to get there, and in a market like this where house are coming and going, the extra time needed to get there has added a layer of difficulty. We should have factored this in before picking a realtor.

I realize I’m likely complaining about nothing (this process has turned me a bit sour) but I just wanted to know, is it always standard to go to the realtor’s office to put in offers? Several other people I know have said no, the only time they went to the office was for initial meetings or closing. Thanks for any answers!

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...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
