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...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

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/
