New construction home without a realtor - sign a purchase agreement? Need tips/help.

Okay, so I've been searching for home for some time now. I found a new construction community last month and visited the model home. I didn't have a realtor or agent that I was working with back then. I didn't realize that I was making a mistake by going directly myself. I liked the home so got all the details and then reserved a lot. Later I got pre-approved through the builders recommended credit union for a construction loan. Initially the sales agent indicated that they'll be room for some negotiation since I was without a agent. Now they say the price is firm since the demand is high and lots are selling fast - which is fine. BUT they want to raise the prices as well due to demand. I made the reservation prior to price increase so requested them to honor the original price. After some discussion they agreed to meet half way in between. I'm little pissed off because they said originally once I do the reservation prices are essentially locked in

Now my concern is - do I go forward without a realtor/agent? The builder agent says it's too late now to add a realtor and I understand my mistake. Should I back out of this or continue ahead with the purchase? They're saying all the lots are now sold out so I might lose out on a purchase.

Should I be wary of anything when signing the purchase agreement?

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/
