Want to retrench and move into the countryside, how do I find a realtor?

I have an ailing house in the city. I want an ailing house in the country. I do not have cash to buy and do not want to finance. I want to sell my house, take the cash, and buy a house outright, or at least finance no more than 10k in repair expenses. I am prepared to find temporary lodging in the meantime if that's necessary.

I've talked to six real estate agents and gotten all kinds of answers. Some are house flippers, some are rockstar award-winners, some are run of the mill agents. But none yet are prepared to help me reach my goal.

Aside from just calling everyone in the book, is there anything else I can do to find a real estate agent who is willing to show me some properties out of town and run some numbers with me?

"Rock Star" told me that no real estate agent will touch me if I don't have earnest money but I just want to tour homes. I never had to put up earnest money to get in a realtor's car when I bought this place. I get that he, an award-winning hot shot realtor, may not be interested in me; but someone out there must be, right?

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/
