Previous buyer/realtor agreement still in effect?

Around Jan, we signed an agreement to work with a realtor exclusively and she said she'd provide us copies of everything we signed. Evidently I'm an idiot because when she gave me her folder with all the forms, property info, etc, I never double checked it. We ended up dropping our search around March due to COVID.

We're now in a position where we're ready to buy, actually build, and I want a realtor that's knowledge about new builds. The previous realtor was very uncomfortable with this and even tried to deter us from going that route.

I looked in my folder from 6+ months ago and she never gave us any signed copies of the forms so I have no idea if/ when that agreement ends. I contacted that realtor via email and stated that I wasn't sure if the agreement was in effect but asked that we be released if it were. She hasn't responded. We had texted a while back and I told her we weren't moving forward anymore but, that's not a clear request for removal so I'm a little nervous just using a text message I no longer have a a way to get out of a signed document.

My question-Should I attempt to keep contacting her? If she doesn't ever call, text or email back am I just stuck assuming it was at least a year long agreement to be safe? I don't want to be annoying to her but I also don't want to do anything inappropriate. Any guidance is appreciated!

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
