opendoor took 20k out of our closing costs for repairs then never did the repairs??

We sold our home to OpenDoor last month. We closed at the end of the month. They charged us 20k for repairs. I asked for an itemized list but she said they didn't do that. She said all she could see was the repair "notes". She said foundation repair was the bulk of the charge. The house did need about 7-9k done in foundation work. She said the rest was minor HVAC maintenance, re doing the flooring and fresh paint. We were so ready to get out and have two huskies and two toddlers. I figured what we lost by selling with open door, as opposed to the market, was well worth the trouble it would save us from going through.

BUT, the house was relisted 10 days later with fresh paint and new carpet. The only carpet was in the bedrooms. The rest of the home is laminate and it hasn't been touched. Who's to say about the HVAC maintenance. But who cares. The biggest thing is, they didn't repair the foundation. We live in the dfw metroplex and see houses in person and on the market with fresh foundation work done all the time. The structural damage was along the entire front of the house. We also moved in with my in laws two blocks over. So I not only can tell from the listing photos, but have actually been able to verify in person. It would be clearly visible if they by chance managed to get the foundation work done in ten days, which the most certainly did not.

I'm really upset because that came out of our pocket and is thousands of dollars extra we could be putting towards finding a new home.

Are they allowed to do this?? Can I contact them and ask why they charged me to fix the foundation then never fixed it? Where did that money go? Shouldn't it belong to me?

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/
