A realtor purchased our home. Do not recommend. Here are some of the wacko things we had to do so the house we purchased didn’t fall through.

Our house sold the 2nd day it was on the market after 3 counter offers. Buyer asked our agent what was most important to us, he said a quick close, she offered full list price ($399,900) and we accepted.

She verbally told our agent “I won’t nickel and dime them.” That was a lie.

She assured him she’d be able to close on time, obv on the date written in the purchase agreement. Also a lie.

We FINALLY close on Monday, 13 days after the original close date. We’re almost at the finish line but I just wanted to share some of the things we had to do in order to not lose the house we’re purchasing. Its purchase was contingent on the sale of our home.

-buyer’s son is an HVAC guy, came to the inspection, insisted our AC was leaking We pay HVAC guy to come out, he confirms it is NOT leaking, works at full capacity, etc. There was one small repair for $300 which we paid and submitted his report to buyer. Buyer doesn’t like the company we chose, insists it is leaking, and will only accept specific company to come out instead and do like a full, lengthy assessment. They do, find no issues, we paid $700 for that.

-we have a pool. Buyer wants us to not only pay to have the pool company of her choice look at it but also for us to pay to have the pool closed for her AND for us to provide her typed instructions on HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A POOL?! So my husband typed her up a word doc?! Lol

-she asked for all of our outdoor furniture, umbrellas, pool floats, storage containers, pillows and decor items, flowerpots

-from inside the house she asked for our barstools, curtains, doorbell camera, washer and dryer

-the other repairs we had to provide estimates and funds held by title include shingle repair, crawl space inspection, masonry work (which we disclosed AS IS and we have to give her $3500 for repairs now), electrician (for $35), holy fuck.

We had to pay and set up all estimates and appointments in like a week’s time bc she refused us just bringing cash to close to cover the full cost of her asks.

I’m sorry rant over but she makes my blood boil.

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...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
