a professional way to tell agent that we have decided to build a home instead of buy?

My fiance and I are first time home buyers. We went through the process of getting pre approved and we were ready to go. We decided to use a realtor that my best friend had used recently and had a good experience with. We had a meeting with him a few days ago where he introduced himself and went through the whole buying process. The next day I found a house I wanted to see online and sent it to him. He showed us the house and it ended up being a pass for us.

We have been entertaining the idea of building a house for a few months now, but after sitting down and going over all the pros and cons, we decided it would be the best thing for us.

He sent me a buyers agreement and I want to know a professional way to let him know we decided to explore another path. I feel like an a**hole for essentially wasting his time and maybe I shouldn't have enlisted his services if I wasn't 100% set on buying, but I would feel bad ghosting him and I did appreciate his insight and professionalism. (He only showed us one house but I think its just my anxiety making me overthink this)

Edit: I plan on buying a lot and building there

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/
