Real Estate Agents Earn/Make More than their Worth

I suggest giving this some thought before you emotionally respond to this inquiry. I am curiously wondering since homes have been around forever as well as home purchasing contracts and such why agents make so much? Keep in mind... They make so much that there's a massive amount of people that want to be a real estate agent because of it's lucrative nature.

Now turn to the conversation to scales of manufacturing. The more of something that is produced in quantity the cheaper/lower cost it is supposed to become. The more homes that are sold and the more than paperwork and contracts are more mainstreamed and commonplace means it should lower the cost because these agents are barely lifting a finger to do any true work.

I know there's a partially truth to what I say because there are ways to many people that have bought homes that say they DREAD the home buying process because of all the PAINS they have to go through. Why did you pay so much to an agent to just put you through torture and in the end still wonder if you were getting ripped off?

This doesn't make sense people. Let me tell you something else as well. If money gurus want to help teach you how to save and buy a house why are they doing that instead of solving the real problem which is them not picking up a hammer and saw and building more houses? They are paying attention to their own desires/self want.

Good luck on your responses. I've often not wanted to be a part of investing in the housing market because there's 3 things people certainly need in life, that being food clothing and shelter. I'd hate to take any of those 3 and try and USE people for my own gain in that regard.

Good luck once again. It won't be hard to sift through your responses... It never is... They're easy to pick and weed out. When the emotional wording and self interest comes along in a response then the responder has already lost the battle.

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...
