Can I buy my listing photos from my past realtor to use with a new listing agent ?

I think we made a mistake going with a flat-fee realtor in October. Other lesser or similar homes a few blocks away are getting twice as many views and Zillow saves in one week than we got in 2 months, and a few are going pending. Some will say Zillow saves/views are nothing, I will disagree after observing them for years on properties I've bought, sold, or witness quickly pend or languish. When I search our address, the Google results do not show links to the top brokerages, like they do with the traditional full fee listings. I think our home is not getting marketed, and my idea of saving $12k by using a flat fee broker might have been a good idea a year ago but not now. We are in snowy Minneapolis, and the photos my realtor paid for (I paid $200 extra for the drone shots) are great, being taken at the end of summer, showing the creek and nature in the back yard as well as a brand new roof. We took the home off the market two weeks ago. In a month or two, I'd like to go with a new realtor that has sold a nearby home recently after busting ass with marketing it or maybe even shoving sliding it down the throat of a buyer they or a crony are "working" for. For that matter, I'm even considering allowing dual-agency for once in my life (fourth home and I'm still making mistakes with realtors). Is it common to buy the photos from an agent after amicably breaking up?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

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...
