Buyer Wants to talk to seller...

I'll spare all the fine details, but, the overview info:

  1. Selling agent royally screwed the pooch with the listing, failing to get all appropriate docs over upon acceptance (bank is involved in the sale). Now 75+ days into the transaction and set to contractually close in ~10 days.
  2. Buyer is very sick. Completed their homesale and moved here. Displaced and living in tent for over a month at this point. They are unable to get the treatment they need without a permanent address and are growing desperate.
  3. Buyer has been advised to sue for specific performance if purchase isn't closed on date, but they don't really have the money for a lawyer, either. Every lawyer (and the Realtor legal hotline, themself) said it is "open and shut in the buyers favor for specific performance."

Now, the buyer keeps telling me they are going to go over to the selling brokerage to calmly ask what is going on and how we can close this thing. I have been having to tell them to absolutely not do this nearly daily. Buyer is now asking me to arrange a "meeting between the agents, brokers, and buying/selling parties" to cooly discuss things.
I have tried and tried to explain how this is firstly very unlikely as the selling agent wouldn't want the seller to "spill more beans" and further incriminate themselves, but also how it inevitably will devolve into chaos and make things worse.
My buyer is getting desperate at this point.

Just looking for other thoughts on how to explain to buyer?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
