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!

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...

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...
