Hey fellow agents, I have a client who's facing a bit of a challenge with their current landlord, and I'm seeking some advice on the best course of action. Here's the situation: On June 12th, my client sent an email and a text to their landlord, informing them of their intention to vacate the property by July 19th and not renew the lease. The lease ended in March, and they had previously requested to switch to a month-to-month arrangement, but received no response to that request either. On July 1st, my client followed up with another email and a phone call that went to voicemail, reiterating their intention to vacate by July 19th. Still, no response from the landlord. Now it's July 26th, and my client has fully moved out, but there's still no word from the landlord. The lease agreement states that 30 days' notice is required for breaking the lease, which my client provided via email and text. They have saved all correspondence and phone records. I'm c...

Hello, I’m hoping someone here can help me or point me in the right direction. I fell in love with a mid century property by John Lautner (3329 Ledgewood, Hollywood, CA). The architect is now dead, his foundation gave all his plans away to the Getty museum special collection. I am looking for the plans of this specific house. They are not in the ones the Getty museum has, I have tried contacting the agent that is listing the property but to no avail. Is there a way to find them online maybe through the Hollywood county office? Any help is appreciated. I am in the process of starting the design of my next house in Houston, TX and would like to incorporate some of the features of this specific house. submitted by /u/gioselu [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1eet7az/mid_century_architect_original_plans/

I just found a house I love in my dream neighborhood. Only $325K (it needs some work, but I’d be happy to take that on). I currently qualify for a mortgage and have enough cash for a 20% down payment. I’m eager to buy now, but I just learned that I will be receiving a $130,000 inheritance in 5 or 6 months. I am trying to determine which path would make the most sense (and if one path would result in me paying more interest in the long run): Buy Now: Purchase this house now with a 20% down payment and then use the inheritance I receive in 6 months to pay off a significant portion of the mortgage. Wait for Inheritance: Wait for the inheritance and use it to make a larger down payment on a different house (this house will be gone). I currently have a month to month lease, which makes my schedule a bit more flexible. I’d appreciate any advice! submitted by /u/Acceptable-Turn1805 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ee1mvm/inheritanc...

Tl;dr- EMD is said to be kept by seller if buyer defaults. Contract says we can withdraw at any time during contingency. We did after they refused to bargain after significant issues came up during inspection. We sent a release and thus I think withdrew. Days later, they gave an okay counter offer, but we were done. Now they are trying to keep EMD. Can they? Just wanted to double check- I got some good info on learning how to proceed to go to court from a previous post, but I want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding the contract. Our contract is pretty normal I think, the EMD goes to them in case of default, but the contract spells out that in contingency we can pretty much bail after inspection for any reason. Inspection was terrible, but we didn't immediately bail, we tried to make an offer that I think was more than fair. Maybe we felt pressure, and didn't realize how much it would be to get into, and we had no time to figure out just exactly how much money and ef...

For all the realtors saying commissions have always been negotiable, you’re lying again. If the seller of the home decided not to offer commission to the buyer or offer lower than 3%, realtors would steer their clients away from the home. This was one of the reasons for the lawsuit. This was proven in the court of law. We will slowly see commissions coming down and the real estate industry slowly being replaced by flat rate fees and hrly rates.

I have a great realtor. I'm very happy with her . She went on vacation this week, as she should, and had a backup to show me houses. My realtor called me to tell me on Wednesday about it. Of course, I wanna see it asap. She schedules it on Friday. I didn't think much of it. If she was here, we normally see it that day as soon as I get off. However, Thursday rolls by and she told me her backup has a client that put in an offer in today (Thursday), as they saw the house on Wednesday with the backup. I asked to see it asap because I would like the opportunity to decide if I want to put in an offer. I was told that the backup is busy until Friday and that she will set an appointment up for Friday. There was no way for me to see it Thursday. We set a time for Friday, and 30 mins before the showing, the owners accepted the offer. I'm crazy upset right now. I know it's no one's fault but everything just happened at the right freaking time. Not to mention, finding a house ...

I just had my house (it's a townhouse but the management is a condo, very dysfunctional HOA. They should have changed to a townhouse over 10 years ago!) listed on Zillow. To my surprise, even the house price is $215k, the rent estimate is only $900 something. I had rented out this house for 3 years, the price started from $1200 to $1300, and the Zillow rent estimate was always slightly higher than that. Now, I finally decided to sell the house, but the rent estimate suddenly (at the time my house was on the market) dropped to under 1k. I wonder if anyone knows the reason for this. Are there any ways my agent or I can do to change it? Since the potential buyers might be investors, this rent estimate would certainly stop them from buying it, I believe.

Estimated closing costs are $56k and estimated cash to close is $38k. It should be noted that this cash to close doesn't include my 7.5k earnest deposit, so cash to close should really be about 30k. I mentioned this to my loan officer twice and he said it would even out at closing and said 30k was the right number. Today I received the final closing disclosure and there's a 15k increase in cash to close, and now the closing cost details include my 15k seller credit (applied towards origination charges, which wasn't where he'd applied it before, but ok) and the 7.5k earnest deposit I made - but omitted the 3.3k deposit I'd already made.

So I am so confused. I know banks have to approve a short sale offer. I have that all done and we are at the closing stage of the process. We signed all our documents and the “owner” not the bank signed his documents as well. Well I got a call that now the title company said they are waiting for the bank to approve the transaction. Long story short they approved our offer and we got an inspection done. The inspector found some minor things so we asked if they would price reduce not getting hopes up as we understand a lot of the time it is a as is property. We all agreed we would keep it as is due to if they do take a new price it would start the offer process over again. We got our appraisal done and as soon as that was done we got a call they want to do another appraisal as well and the appraiser wants to see the inspection report. We sent it. We get the call everything is at the title company and we need to hurry and sign as well would close the next day. Well next day comes and I g...

Although we have thought and semi discussed this before, we are seriously reconsidering building an ADU at my husband’s family’s home. They have about .25 acre lot and have a good amount of unused land in their backyard that would perfectly fit an ADU (used to be a playground). My husband’s parents seem to be in favor of this decision, however, we feel there’s a lot to discuss to ensure fairness in our family affairs.

Marketing is crucial for any business, yet 95% struggle with it. Investing in marketing doesn’t guarantee instant success. Even with significant investment, you might find it hard to grow your business digitally and build a strong brand. Ever wondered why your marketing efforts aren’t paying off? Here are some common reasons: Lack of Focus : Even with a solid plan, if your marketing lacks focus, you may end up diluting your message. Targeting everyone can make your marketing less effective. Limited Resources : Marketing requires expertise and can be costly. Many businesses attempt to handle it themselves, which can lead to ineffective strategies compared to competitors with more resources. Expertise Gap : Even successful business leaders may lack marketing expertise. Just as you excel in your area, marketing needs its own set of skills and knowledge. High Competition : In today’s digital landscape, standing out is tough. Competing against numerous businesses can make it challeng...

I’ve owned a 3-acre lot for almost 10 years and am trying to build our house. The lot is hilly and rocky, and so we found the best spot for the size house we want. When clearing the land, we found that the neighbor has a septic drain field there, and that he has an easement for it from 1995, totaling an area of an acre. He’s not open to moving his drainfield in order to allow us to put the house halfway onto the easement area. How screwed am I? Do I have any legal recourse? The extent of this easement wasn’t really explained when I bought the land, and it really seems to affect the land value. If I have to put the land on the rocky hillside I can’t afford the demo.

Will having the stairs decrease the value of our home? submitted by /u/Inksl8nger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1e3p2kd/mounted_cat_stairs_on_wall/

My agent called on Friday to say a Buyer wanted to view my house on Sunday at 4 pm. At 3:50, we gather the dogs and head out. My realtor (who was not able to show the house) tells me at 4:12, they will be late. I asked her to let me know when theycwere done.. I'm really annoyed because it's 100 degrees and we have the dogs. We tried to walk them by the park, but it was too hot and we ran out of drinking water. So on the way to Starbucks, we drove by the house. No car. After getting our drinks and pupcups, we drive back by the house. No car. So we drive around. Finally, I text my realtor and ask if they are even there yet. She gets back to me at 5:12 to say they are done. My camera video shows they were there for 5 whole minutes and left at 4:58, but didn't call my agent to tell her until I asked. It may not seem that serious, but with 3 dogs and 4 people driving in a truck in 100 degree weather, it felt like forever. As soon as we have a buyer, we are buying our next hous...

I'm preparing for an upcoming sales meeting and wanted to get some insights from those with experience in B2B sales. Specifically, I'm curious about how potential buyers typically react when they receive a presentation ahead of our first meeting. Do they appreciate the preparedness and see it as a sign of diligence, or does it sometimes come off as too pushy or presumptuous? I've heard mixed opinions on this approach and would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Have you found it to be beneficial in establishing credibility and setting a positive tone for the initial discussion, or does it depend largely on the industry and individual preferences? Looking forward to your responses! submitted by /u/carrot_touch [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1e2ymsd/how_do_buyers_typically_respond_to_receiving_a/

I'm selling my house, slightly 'as is', but is mostly cosmetic issues. Things like interior painting, worn kitchen & bath tiles. It could get someone thru 3-5 years if they wanted, but on the other hand isn't a 'flip' with everything new. Its priced accordingly, but after dropping its price and giving it 2-3 weeks, I inevitably took it off to address some of these concerns. Now, after about a month and some legit work being done, my realtor relisted it. However, after going live, I noticed it is not at the top of Realtor .com. Is that normal? We're pretty far down in the zip code, and looks like its just been stagnant (also I skipped 30+ days). State is PA if that matters, I was expecting to be at the top again to boost views. submitted by /u/EddieLeeWilkins45 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1e280b4/delisted_relist_top_of_mls/

Is there a way to get an estimate of closing cost.

Hi everyone, I'm a long time lurker first time poster. I recently came across this listing for a 0.43 acre lot on the water in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle. I understand that it would require road access, plumbing and electricity to be installed by the city (which can be a hassle), but 130k for this seems like a great deal?

My very elderly mother (90+) signed a contract to sell her houses. She told me after three days later she needed surgery and had to cancel the sale. I had been estranged from her for years but she required my help almost everyday as my brother was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. And could no longer take care of her. The buyer didn’t believe her but it is true. 4 days after that my wife and I received a call from an alarm company that our house was broken into out of state. The officer told us the house we bought months prior was now heavily damaged due to the flood. My wife immediately wife called the buyer and he expressed zero empathy for this situation. My mother had a stroke five months prior. I did not know this until my brother told me about it weeks after signing. My mother was going to move in with us to this new home 1800 miles away but now the house is absolutely unliveable. State Farm will not repair it. The mortgage company put a forebearance on it until august. We...

I'm currently working on saving my money in the hopes of getting into a rent-to-own type deal. I'm inexperienced with real estate and instead of doing thoughtful research I'd figure that I'd come on reddit and ask people because my generation is lazy. My credit is mush right now, probably 550, If i paid off my credit cards I could bring it up to 6 something...I only have 3 years of credit history as well, I'm 24. My plan is to get a roommate to help me pay off the place I'd get into (God willing). I know this also entirly depends on the location so this is what I'm thinking: somewhere in either Colorado or California. I was leaning more towards California because I like being near the city but obviously not within the city because that's too expensive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks. submitted by /u/Haunting-Benefit3266 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1e0ktob/is_20k_a_good_enough_down...

We are closing on a place in about a week. We love it, it’s perfect. The place right now has staging furniture, and one piece that’s currently in the living room is a big black shelf. And I mean big. It covers a lot of the wall, wide and tall. It’s really ugly and takes up a space that you could do a lot with. It looks like furniture, it’s not a fixture of the home, so we didn’t think anything of it, but we just found out it’s affixed to the wall, like bolted or something. Can we ask the seller to take it with them? It’s going to be extremely annoying taking it out. Our purchase agreement doesn’t say we would keep any furniture. I guess I just am not sure how much it being affixed to the wall impacts the answer to this question. Theoretically, you could bolt a couch to the floor, but I’d think the seller would still have to remove it. submitted by /u/Maryfonasari [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1e0ijuj/is_the_seller_required_to_remove...

My fiancé and I are looking to purchase a home. We found one and the seller accepted our offer and both parties signed the contract. The sale was contingent on my fiancé selling his home. On the day of the deadline the house wasn’t sold but he stated he would drop the contingency and move forward with the purchase anyway. The seller’s realtor never told this to the seller and he instead sent him termination of sale paperwork (which he did not sign). The next day the seller signed an offer with another buyer. Come to find out the realtor was working for both the seller and the new buyer. What legal action can be taken if any? The realtor intentionally did not inform the seller the contingency would be dropped before the deadline was up. submitted by /u/Inevitable_Eye_2924 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1dzs8zd/seller_backed_out_of_contract/

Hi Guys, Me and my partner are currently in the process of house hunting (exciting!). We’ve viewed about 15 properties so far and have finally found one we love, the problem being it stretches our budget considerably and in all honesty, I probably shouldn’t have been looking at houses in this price range. The house is up for offers over 270k and it has been on the market for 2 months. We are in the Nottinghamshire area of the UK. On paper we can technically afford this, we have okay (good?) salaries at a combined 72k and we have around 40k deposit but this will be stretching us when it comes to the monthly payments and once you factor in all other bills. This is the first house we’ll have put an offer on a house so I guess my question is - what’s an acceptable first offer that’s not too insulting? I was thinking 158k? I should probably mention we’re both first time buyers, so no chain - does that really make a difference from a sellers perspective? Many thanks :) submitted ...

Today my landlord sent me notice via email that he is not renewing my lease. This is less than a month before the lease ends, and the lease is rollover to another year. In the lease it states he must notify me via certified or hand delivered letter. But really, it's his reasoning that is suspect. I love my space and have taken good care of it. When I moved in, he complained that the last tenant did not tell him about needed repairs, and told me to do so. So, I did. Sometimes he would respond defensively and I would remind him that he told me to share these things with him. Otherwise I wouldn't have. In the email, he wrote: "In light of all the issues you have with the cottage, most all of which I do take seriously, I’ve come to a difficult decision that will have a negative bearing on us both, but admittedly more so on you. I wish it wouldn’t be so, but it can’t be helped. Your lease expires on August 31st and after a lot of thought, I’ve decided not to renew it. I don’...

TL;DR I want to live where my dad currently lives (my hometown) but there’s no way I can afford it in today’s market. He will be living there whether I do or not - He will die of old age there either in the current house, or in the father-in-law suite of my house if the property becomes mine. How can I assume ownership of the property for less than the market value in a way that is fair and legal within the next 5 years? I have a 5 year plan to get back to my hometown. Do I need my name on the deed? Mortgage? Do I just buy it for under market value and get penalized in taxes? Help! I would like to move back to my hometown (I currently live across the country.) The thing is, since I left, my town specifically and towns around it have become a very desirable, up-and-coming place. It’s one of those places on the “fastest growing cities” lists. For the sake of privacy, I won’t say where, but the area is exploding and people are moving in from all around the US. People with money. The wea...

I’m a first time home buyer who inherited 50% of a house in CA and bought out the other half through refinancing. I put a good amount of money into fixing the house up (around $150,000) because it was pretty beat up after 40 years, I also turned the garage into a junior ADU. I’m getting low on cash and am unsure what to do next. Construction was a lot more than expected and took a lot longer as well. I decided I’d rather move to another state and buy a cheaper home cash and forgo a mortgage. I’d like to put the house on the market as soon as possible but I won’t hit the two year capital gains requirement until March 2025. It’ll cost me about $30,000 till March in mortgage and property taxes. I have about $600,000 equity in the home and with the $150,000 in improvements puts me at around $750,000 equity, my mortgage has about $428K left on it. I’m curious what the taxes would be if I sold before the two year mark and if it’s worth to sell it now or wait until March of 2025? The home is...

If you purchased a home that both the sellers and their broker (who is their son) presented blatantly false attestations to the condition of the septic system and land use zoning, neglected to disclose the collapsed leach field by using a disreputable company to conceal the fact, and didn’t even include a familial contact disclosure, what would you do? Oh, and they also lied about a billionaire developer putting in some Urban Growth next door, where the wetland they failed to disclose the actuality of a buffer for sits.

Life is too short. I'm tired of the insurance claims and legally fighting neighbor, which is a store. Seriously thinking of selling my home that I've lived in all my life. The original plan was stay in NY until retirement which is less than 7 years away, and move south. The insanity I have been dealing with as of late, just isn't worth it anymore. Defeated. I'm focusing strictly on the financials, to see how we can do this. Our house should sell for $225k. Maybe a little more. In NY how much will we clear? And then the part we dread, buying. From a quick search, I'm guessing that we will be looking at least $300K for similar quality home to what we have, probably a little smaller in a different neighborhood. Finding something looks to be impossible. How much does it cost to buy a $300k house, assuming we can find one in in market? Where we are right now.... $45k left on our home equity line which has extremely low rate. Taxes are about $4500/yr. So essentially...

Good day everyone! Location: Hawaii We’re currently refinancing our home, supposed to close on Saturday 7/6/24. Currently on the original deed and title are my parents, husband, and myself. My mom passed away last year. We are joint tenants on deed and title. The situation is that we received an email from the title company demanding a copy of Petition to Note Death of my mom. We have already provided them a certified death certificate. Going through with a Petition to Note Death will at least take 2 weeks and that’s on the Land Court side, it can take another few weeks to record on the side of Bureau of Conveyances as they are two separate bodies here in Hawaii. My questions are: Shouldn’t the official death certificate be enough? Shouldn’t the refinance fix the removal of mom on the title? As joint tenants, doesn’t her share automatically move to the remaining tenants which is my dad, me, and husband? I’m not understanding why the title company is putting through the wringer. ...
