How do real estate agents work? Details in comments.

This is my second time serving as a fiduciary for a loved one and it’s important to me this second time around I REALLY like who I chose to work with when it comes to selling the property. Well, I made the mistake of chatting with a neighbor and of course she had family who’s a real estate agent and of course “they’re the best”.. fast forward a couple months and she got upset saying her cousin contacted me but if I’m being brutally honest I want a male agent and I don’t want to work with anyone recommended by a friend, relative, associate because then I’m suspicious, that’s how I got totally screwed over the first time. So I lied and said my family really wanted me to hire this person and I had already met and liked them, which I did, and she asked the name and said “I’ll just see what my cousin thinks” … I then find out they’re out of the same agency, same town, and the real estate agent I did like goes from 100mph seeming enthusiastic to help and get this done to 0 not wanting anything to do with it. Now I can deal with him not working with me because he doesn’t like me or the property just isn’t worth his time. What I can’t deal with is someone I don’t like, who showed up 9 minutes late to the first meeting looking frazzled, forcing me to reiterate myself, and telling me things I’ve already sold where dumpster worthy, and just basic shit like to keep oil in the oil tank whilst staring at my meter 3/4 full, I can’t stand stuff like that I really can’t. I’ve lived in this property for 15 years, managing it all alone for 2, if anyone knows it needs oil, it is me.. She really, really rubbed me the wrong way. Am I running away with my imagination thinking she had something to do with the first real estate agent basically “ghosting” me or is it within the realm of possibility?

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...
