Am I tied to a realtor that showed me a few properties?

I reached out to an agent on Zillow because of a property I liked. He got me a few virtual tours and an in person one.

He has talked me out of a few properties that I really liked and pushed for me to make a bid on a home that I was not super psyched about and seemed annoyed when I declined to do so.

Anyway, I never really chose him I just wanted a tour initially and now I feel like I’m his indefinite client. I was mostly just browsing homes leisurely but he’s talking to be about a closing timeline already and things like that wen I’ve only really seen 3 homes.

I am asking this because I was interested in a condo and he said it wouldn’t be beneficial to get a condo based on what kind of mortgage I could get. He brushed off my request for more information on said condo and continued to send me MLS of other places.

I eventually just messaged the listing agent for the condo myself and they never responded- my realtor did however, saying that the message was forwarded to him by the listing agent from a completely different agency?

He kind of scolded me for reaching out to another agent and said I should only be asking him these things.

This is my first time buying a home so I feel like I’m being taken advantage of - he wants me to spend more money and bid on something right away. This whole process has only been 2 1/2 weeks! I am already overwhelmed, I don’t understand how this is supposed to work and I don’t want to offend anyone I just want to get the home that I want. I didn’t realize that by reaching out to someone for a tour would mean that I can now only talk to them.

Is this normal? I hope I don’t sound dumb or naive.

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/
