Wish I could review houses

Went to see a house, pictures looked great but IRL revealed many problems. Windows are in bad shape, possibly leaking, visible roof damage, some mold in the basement. Nothing disclosed. When we asked about the roof damage they insisted they had it "professionally inspected" and claimed it was cosmetic damage (haha). Still it's a good layout, size, area, etc. Told my realtor I wanted to lowball, he suggested an even lower price than I thought based on comps and condition. The house is back on the market after a prior buyer backed out, probably for the same reasons.

So we sent the offer and they came back with a mere 5k drop, refused to budge any further, and demanded we drop the inspection (lol). I responded with "Hey, failing to disclose mold is illegal you know?" (it is impossible to miss). But I guess they want to hold out for a dumber buyer than me (good luck!)

Anyway its no big loss I just feel like I should have some kind of google review to let people know these sellers are criminal liars.

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/
