Does anyone have experience selling to a trust?

Hey there, we are selling our house in CA, and there is a trust representing their client who would like to purchase the house, but they haven't made an offer yet. The person the trust is representing is rather famous and is taking a very long time to submit a formal offer, but this person and their team have been to the house five times already, with another visit planned this coming weekend. Our agent said their trust needs to ensure they can procure insurance before making a formal offer. But how long does that take? We're talking weeks of waiting.

The buyer and their agent insist they love and want the house, but they need the trust's stamp of approval before moving forward. Again, they have been to the house five times already, the trust, their kids etc.

We haven't had much interest in the house outside of this person, so we're not really in a position to be pushy, but I'm getting to a point where we'd like to lower the price and get it moving. We're planning a big move for work, and at the moment, we're stuck in limbo.

If anyone has any experience with selling to a trust, I'd love to hear about it. Thank you!

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...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

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...
