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

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
