Agent Opinions Needed- Listing Curation Business Idea

I recently helped my mom find a new home in a large metropolitan area with lots of listings to wade through. She did have an agent help with the transaction, but the agent wasn’t super helpful when it came to narrowing down the options based on my mom’s more nuanced preferences (beyond just SFH, 3bd/2ba, etc). I know some agents have the bandwidth and desire to pick say, a top 10 potential houses for their clients, but this agent didn’t (she sent my mom lists of around 80+ options meeting the basic criteria).

What I’m wondering is- do you think there’s a potential business here, in helping agents curate listings for individual buyers? I envision working with agents who have demanding clientele and charging a percentage (how much?) of their commission to provide an evolving list with all relevant metrics, a map, and suggested viewing route. I’m sure a good assistant provides this for many agents, but I am interested in pursuing this as a business with a specific service offering (not interested in becoming an assistant).

The overall value proposition here is helping agents provide more customized help to enable more/quicker transactions for higher-value or tougher clients. Thoughts?

For reference, in this particular case, the agent saw all the work I produced in helping my mom and thought it was incredibly helpful. My mom ended up purchasing a house that I found, which was not on any of the agent’s provided lists.

Thank you in advance!

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/
