Buying New Construction - Questions about Agent (Ohio)

My wife and I recently sold our home and are looking into a new construction (renting in the meantime). I’ve exchanged a few emails with the builders agent to see options for floor plans to see if we could make something work in our budget, which we’ve seemed to have found one we like. We haven’t entered any contract or committed to anything yet.

We have been working with an agent (same one that sold our home) so I have a few questions in regards to our agent, if we decided to go through with a new build. We haven’t really mentioned a new build to her yet, simply because we just started thinking about it ourselves.

  • What is her role in this whole process? I’m curious if she should be there during all the meetings including when we meet with the builder to personalize things, choose add-ons, etc or if she will just review contract when it comes to that.

    • Does the builder cover the commission for both real estate agents?
    • Is there any negative to having a real estate agent?

Any other tips or suggestions would be useful! Thank you!

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/
