Agent said I would get a referral fee and is now refusing.

My fiancé (34m) and I (28f) have been looking for a vacation rental property within our state. The area we decided to look was not within my MLS nor my area of specialty so we decided to refer it to another agent who specializes within the area we were looking in. We discussed a referral fee back in February and she agreed to give me one. Nothing more was brought about it since. Well, my fiancé just put an offer in on a house and is now under contract. I asked to make sure she still remembered the referral fee and she is now refusing to give me one since I was not in communication with her regarding the deal. Now, I’ve never asked for referral fee before so I’m not sure how it works. I always believed that you get a referral fee just for referring? Do you have to be actively working the deal too in order to get a referral?

Side notes: I have actively shown my fiancé houses within our area too but we decided on this more “attractive” area because we believe we could get a higher occupancy rate. ALSO, she has only shown him 5 houses since February when we first got in contact with her.

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/
