How do you feel about seeking houses(repost)

In continuation to my previous post-

I Have a slightly different question this time.

Why would you wanna work in real estate?

This could apply to anybody from the sales perspective. Maybe you’re a broker or a sales manager in a real estate firm, do independent sales or invest in real estate, maybe you flip houses for a living or maybe you’re an owner of a real estate firm.

The question has many different aspects. You can answer any of them that might apply to you or you may have an expertise in.

Like what made you select your career?

Why would you wanna work in real estate?

Or how you personally feel about selling houses or properties?

Or like what value do you provide to the industry as a whole?

What kinda value do you provide to your clients?

What are the aspects you focus on while selling to your clients(I would prefer if there were more Emotional or practical reasons rather than solely looking at it from a financial or an investment purpose)

What makes your pitch to your clients unique? What aspects of housing do you focus on?

Aside from these you can tell me anything about your personal experience or insights in real estate industry. What values/perspectives/insights do you have on the industry? honestly any kind of input helps.

Let’s start a conversation!

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...

Co-signing as non-primary resident - effect on size of required downpayment & first time home buyer status?

Contemplating co-signing on a house with my mom and splitting the mortgage payment. I currently have a significantly higher income and much better credit than her. I'm looking at potential home costs and related downpayments but have difficulty using some of the online estimators. From my perspective, this would be somewhat of an investment purchase (I intend to stay in my current location in a different state and contribute to the mortgage), however, for my mom, this would be a primary residence. For purposes of the downpayment size and the type of mortgage arrangement, would it be an investment property or a primary residence? Many thanks for any help. submitted by /u/piercalicious [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/km4hvl/cosigning_as_nonprimary_resident_effect_on_size/

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/
