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

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/
