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...

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/
