Advice

If you're selling a house and get through inspection and one of the asked for kitchen appliances breaks down one week later (because it was old), before closing. What is the best way to handle the situation? Do you recommend disclosure and some sort of monetary compensation? If so, How much? Been advised to "replace" but it is a very old appliance that was a miracle it lasted as long as it did? It was worth $0. I want to be a good/honest seller but replacing an old appliance (which was observable when touring property and buyers did not have inspected) seems unrealistic. This was not intentional. I just think honestly is the best policy here. I'm confused by the realtor "something has to be there that's comparable". So we are trying to vacate but now have to buy an appliance? An appliance worth way more than what was there? As a buyer I would be agreeable to a discussion with understanding as the appliance is definitely not the reason I want the house. I just want everyone to be happy in the end. Would like perspective and maybe I'm way off base as I know being a realtor has to be trying at times, so thanks for any input.

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...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
