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?

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...

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/
