My realtor decided without informing me for the escrow funds

I bought a out of state multi family. The closing last 4 months due to the seller not performing the repairs per our initial agreement. we agreed on foundation repairs to be done by the seller. However, because the seller wanted to close quick, he got a quote from a company ($16k) I got mine from another contractor to avoid any potential collaboration between the seller and the company, they quote at $18k but the seller refuse to go with my contractor, to save $2k. I was ok with that as the funds ($16k) would be withhold in the escrow account and will be released only if I have a reinspection report that attest they did the job correctly.

The work has been completed since September 8th and I wasn't notified. I called the title company and they told me my realtor agent informed them to wire the funds to the contractor which they did without informing me.

I contacted my realtor agent yesterday (3 weeks later) to understand his approach and why he proceed without event informing me the work has been completed. He told me the seller agent was pressuring him to release, without even acknowledge this is appropriate.

Now I am very confused. I don't know what incentive the seller agent could have and I suspect they are all working together and trafficking something off.

Besides that, throughout the 4 months process, I noticed a crucial lack of communication from my realtor agent and fell like he is by the seller side and not defending my interest (the seller agent is his friend)

Am I overreacting? Any thoughts? Should I report my realtor agent for such unprofessionalism? If yes how?

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...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
