Purchasing Home in NYC - Real Estate, Buyer/Seller Disclosure Form and Commission Rebate.

Hi,

I'm currently in the process of purchasing a home in NYC. My agent is a family friend that is recommended to me. I did most of the negotiation myself and but he did arrange for us for viewings/drive around with us. I'm primarily using him as he will kick back 50% of the commission back to us.

The home I'm in contract for is 1.26M and the buyer agent fee is 1.5% ($18,900). He said he'll just give me 7.6k (approx 40% of the upfront price as he will need to pay his brokerage firm 10% and taxes as well) - is this fair? When is this decided, should I get this legally added in (the contract is already executed).

I was reading that this is completely legal and some people use the kickback as a credit instead to avoid upfront taxes/fees. Is this something I should ask for instead? Perhaps get 9k in credits and I cut him a check for $9900 at closing.

​

Also he is asking for me to sign this form: https://imgur.com/a/VxKaEpH

It's checked that he is the acting as the "Seller's Agent" but I'm the buyer.. I'm confused.

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/
