Holdover seller finally left, but he wants his stuff that's still in my house

I closed on a property a few days ago. The seller had filed for bankruptcy. For reasonable assurance his house wouldn't be foreclosed, he wasn't going to move out until the close of escrow. The contract gave him 3 days to move out after closing. We are now on day 6 and I finally got him out of the house but he still has property in the house that he wants. I have the keys to the house. Am I legally obligated to allow this guy to get his stuff or can I just tell him to pound sand and never let him in again?

Background info: He is a long time alcoholic with a scrambled brain and paralyzing anxiety. Trying to work with this guy is next to impossible, though I've been very cordial up to this point. He is incapable of moving anything himself and his "hired help" never shows up. I spent yesterday helping him move his stuff out of his house but there are big things like a pool table that I'm ready to just break into pieces and toss. My movers show up tomorrow with my whole house worth of furniture and I can't play this guy's games anymore.

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/
