How can I make sure the house I’m selling doesn’t go to a flipper?

I’m about to move and sell my house. It’s a 100 year old house with really pretty architectural features, but it was relatively affordable for me when I bought it because it has a super basic kitchen with linoleum counters, scratch and dent appliances etc. In the time since I bought my house, my neighborhood has gotten more desirable and the only houses on the market in surrounding blocks appear to be flipped and crazy expensive with quartz counters and all new appliances.

I’m I am not rich and want to get my money back and not loose money on the realtor commission when I sell the house, but would love for it to go to an actual working person or family and not get bought by flippers to have ugly updates made and be resold for a crazy high price.

How can I know who is making an offer and if it is a person who plans to live in the home or a flipper? Is there any way to know?

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/
