Swapping lenders after soft commitments?

I just want verification on if I’m a bad person or not, as am I’m generally a person with a guilty conscience.

I’ve been basically shopping between two lenders, A and B. A quotes me at 6.375% but already started paperwork that I didn’t sign, B quotes me at 6.25%. I stick with A because it’s not enough of a difference and I tell both of them that I’m sticking to A. B comes around an hour later and says he can stick me at 5.99%, so I tell A I’m doing that unless he matches and he goes to 6%. I say ok I’m set, let’s move forward because this is a big win for me. I tell B again - now B comes back an hour later, summary in hand saying he’s at 5.725%. I send to A saying sorry this is obnoxious but he’s going even lower now. I get a response from A this morning essentially saying “I’ve never once had a client do this in all my years. You said this was done and you continue price shopping. Let me know what you plan to do moving forward please,” essentially tell me to eff off.

Was this chain of events bad on me, or should I just shrug this off knowing it’s business? Money is money and if I never signed contracts yet then shouldn’t this not be an issue? I feel bad upsetting anyone for any reason.

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/
