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?

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...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
