I think I fucked up

TLDR: no final walk through, seller didn't complete repair

I closed this morning but per contract, seller has possession until 9pm (PST). My realtor called me and said the seller is out and hid the key under a rock, house is empty, and I'm free to go over and start moving. BUT the seller's ex is still there. The house has a new fence and gates weren't up yet but in the contract, it said gates needed to be up before 11/30. And they were. But then the ex took them down with the intention of re-hanging them. He plans to do it tomorrow but isn't sure if he'll be able to finish. He's left all his tools and supplies inside the home (garage) and will thus need access until the job is finished. Here's my big issue (unrelated to real estate): I'm buying this home alone. I'm a single late 20s female with a long history of sexual abuse while I was in the military. The idea of a strange man having access to my home and hanging around the property is TERRIFYING to me. I understand that my emotions are not this man's fault and he's likely a fine person. But fuck. Half reason I'm buying this place is so my dog has a backyard, so obviously I want the gates up. But this just doesn't seem fair. The contract said it had to be finished. I don't want to be unreasonable, so please share what a reasonable response to this would be. Thanks.

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/
