Ripped Off

So we bought a new construction home and started seeing defects. Got an inspector here and he told us to hire a lawyer.

We are looking over the appraisal that the lender made us pay for and they hired their own appraiser and it’s showing everyone who reviews it that the house was over priced.

The house was sold to us with the ceilings not completed with any paint and the drywall’s were not completed with paint, closets still have primer and all the windows do not have wooded sills and no paint but primer, the windows were not caulked and have big gaping cracks in them, there was an attic pull down stairs listed which we did not get and dry wall pros are saying the entire drywall needs to come down.

We had a ceiling leak and plumbers went up and saw all the vent pipes in attic lose with no pipe glue the pipes just fall apart when you take them up and there are waste gases being let out up in the attic.

Got the county inspection report and it’s only 5 pages and they only did inspections on the rough-ins and after that final inspection and nothing else.

Now we are left in this with our young kids as the house falls apart everyday and lawyer is saying we can’t sue the government or the appraiser because his obligation was to the lender even though we paid for the appraisal!!!

I’m so depressed and feeling like this country is a messed up place. Even if we decide to sell this house is not worth anywhere near what we paid for it.

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/
