Is there really a Doordash equivalent to showing a home?

I keep reading about people having their realtors show them houses or realtors showing people tons of houses. I've been through two purchases. After 2 showings with my first one, and after the first one I saw with my second purchase, when I would show up to view a house and some random person would be there. I would ask about the house and would be told they had no idea, yhey just get a call to let someone in and I have to talk to my realtor. On my second purchase I switched realtors because the guy elaborated on what the other people had said he told me that he works for a company that just comes by to let people in, make sure they don't steal anything, and lock up. He knows nothing about the house he is showing aside from the address and has to instruct the client's to their realtor for information as basic as bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. This happened both times using a Redfin realtor buying. I purchased through the first, and dropped the second one as he forgot to put in offers, didn't pick up, and just didn't exist. Is this a thing for Redfin realtors? A random person opening a door without any qualifications or knowledge?

It seems like it shouldn't be ethical or safe for the buyer or seller. The first time I was only showed once by someone and didn't think much of it, but the second time I bought I was blown away. Not even people trying to get a license or even working for a realtor office. Is this normal? I was in the Seattle market btw

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/
