Brand new here...please be nice

My wife and I are just in the baby stages of looking to buy property. It sounds crazy but we’re looking at some very inexpensive fixer uppers in Montana that we could pay cash for, live in for 2-3 years while fixing up, and then sell for cash in hand and use that as a substantial down payment on a larger house. I have my eye on a particular house and we don’t have a real estate agent yet (or may not get one) and I have a few questions about the property, such as, is the water and electrical currently turned on (and if not, when was the last time it was) is the house inhabited currently, and even, is the seller is possibly willing to drop the purchase price (it’s been on the market almost a year). Can I contact the seller’s agent directly and ask these questions? I don’t want to waste everyone’s time viewing the property if it’s clearly not livable and it’s hard to tell from the listings. I know the seller’s agent works for the seller but I didn’t know if she would likely be willing to answer those questions or if that would be a faux pas? Thanks everyone.

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 ...
