Im buying a new build and one window looks weird

Hi everyone. I am in the process of buying a new build. I should be closing end of July or early August, and I’ve been going out to the property every other week or so for the last month and a half to see the progress.

This week, drywall was hung up and taped. This morning, texture was applied. Everything looked good to me so far, until yesterday.

Yesterday, I noticed that one of the windows looked crooked, and I couldn’t unsee it. Here’s some pictures, as well as two pictures from the builder’s website showing how the window is supposed to look. I brought out a tape measurer and noticed that from the inside, the space between the door and the window on the left side is 8” while on the right side it is 7.5”. This is why the window looks slanted towards the right.

I called it out in an email and sent it to the builder’s sales agent and my realtor, and the agent said they would take a look. What are the chances they actually fix it though? Is this even fixable? Is this something I could point out again in the blue tape walkthrough?

This builder is supposed to be one notch above DR Horton quality wise, and I believe it. But this does not look like quality. I’m paying lots of money for it and getting under contract in this market is hard enough already... I want it to be worth it.

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/
