Provided DU to listing agent, now regretting it.

So I am in the process of buying a home and one of the stipulations from the listing agent in the contract is to provide the desktop underwriting. I felt uneasy about this but was reassured by my agent that this was becoming common practice. Due to my finite knowledge of real estate, I agreed but made sure to have my agent include a stipulation that it would be for the listing agents eyes only and that it must be shredded right after reading. I was BCC’d on this email. I thought“ I’ll double check what Reddit has to say about listing agents asking for the DU later.” Well later came and previous Reddit posts advised against it. Since I can’t unsend the doc, I am curious what the worst case scenario is for what they could do with my info. I double checked and my social isn’t included but still, it’s a deep dive of my financials sent to basically a stranger. Please go easy on me, my anxiety has already sent me down several rabbit holes of horrible scenarios of what could happen.

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/
