Does Real Estate Industry have a Classification/Reward system for Real Estate Sellers of the homes they sold next to the number of homes they built?

I've been thinking.... And quickly losing much level of respect for people involved in selling real estate. I don't care if you're Warren buffet or Dave Ramsey..... What I want to know is how many homes you have built as a real estate investor vs how many you have sold.... I think if people(customers) could know this then it would quickly expose some weak hands....

I don't even want you in my friends circle if you are in real estate and haven't built 2 homes for every 3 that you sold..... Please don't tell me on this post that real estate investors cant do that because it would dilute their market and drop prices drastically due to inventory increase(frankly, this is an easy thought to conclude)

So what I want to know from some of you is if there is a merit based recognition system or something in the real estate industry where common home buyers can KNOW FOR A FACT that the real estate seller(or even broker/scalper) has built at least 2 homes for every 3 homes they sold. Additionally I want some thoughts on how someone(maybe me) can start an organization that allows real estate investors/sellers to be placed on a RECOGNITION LIST that they have done so. This could allow more home buyers to migrate towards those real estate sellers knowing they have had a positive impact on society rather than an egregiously based greedy "take my money" approach....

(This should be quite an interesting discussion)

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...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

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/
