Does changing realtors hurt us?

First time home seller.

Our realtor listed our house, over the timeframe of a few days we got multiple offers. We looked at each one as it came in and communicated with the realtor about it. We talked about reviewing all offers on one day, however some offers had an expiration before the planned review.

We found out today that the realtor didn’t communicate anything back to the other realtors about our review day and let offers expire. We didn’t explicitly ask the realtor to communicate back each time, but since we talked about each offer and discussed the day we were planning to review offers (realtor’s suggestion) we didn’t think we had to ask for this each time.

After some back and forth (in a live conversation) trying to sort out how to move forward the realtor abruptly said they didn’t want to be our realtor anymore. We were caught off guard as all our interactions had been pretty good till this. No one was yelling or anything, we were trying to figure out what we should do as a next step with expired offers. We were asking about the expired offers and if the realtor could reach back out to the other realtors to at least let them know we’d planned a day to review the offers. Just letting them expire seemed odd to us. The abruptness in saying they didn’t want to be our realtor makes us think we did something wrong.

Were we asking for something that’s unusual? It seems fairly standard right now to review the offers on one day, we’ve even seen that in postings. Perhaps our ask about reaching out to the other realtors was inappropriate or not what is acceptable in the industry?

Anyway, we are going to find a new realtor. Will this hurt us from a listing standpoint when the house is put back up for sale? As well as, how do we explain why we are switching realtors?

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...
