Sorry for the noob question. My seller agent has proposed a contract where seller agent gets 2.% of listing price and additional compensation to seller's broker of 2.5% of purchase price if the buyer is unrepresented. This is for property in California. Is this normal? Can this be further negotiated or this is the typical expectation for home sales in CA? submitted by /u/Actual_Cut9271 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1leaekl/commission_terms_what_is_typical/

We're 21d out from closing on a house. 60d ago, we locked our rate for 90d with Bank A. Another lender we were talking to, Bank B, now tells us that he can give us a marginally better rate and better closing costs (saving ~$780/yr and $1k in closing costs). We're tempted to change horses mid-stream, but want to understand the risks involved. Specifically, I am concerned about the effect of applying now with another bank and its impacts on our credit score. I envision a nightmare scenario where we start working with Bank B, but it turns out they can't close on time, so we revert back to bank A but our credit scores took a ding from the application with Bank B, such that we no longer qualify for our mortgage with Bank A. Is this a likely scenario? submitted by /u/DesignerPangolin [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1lefjvy/considering_changing_to_another_lender_risks/

I manage a handful of single family and small multi family rentals across two states. One thing I always bring up with new landlords is budgeting for longterm maintenance roof, HVAC, foundation, drainage, etc. It’s surprising how many folks only plan for cosmetic fixes or immediate rent readiness. I’m curious how seasoned investors here handle this upfront. Do you work these projections into your offers or build out 5/10 year maintenance budgets before closing submitted by /u/QuarterOne1233 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ledf77/how_much_do_you_factor_longterm_maintenance_into/

Hey everyone, I’m an insurance agency owner and would love some insight here that I can apply in my local market. Do you have someone that you point buyers to for their insurance? If you do, how was that initial relationship formed? What made you continue to use that person? For anyone who doesn’t- is there anything that would make you likely to start using someone for this?

I drive an electric car and I would like to add an L2 EV charger to my summer home / rental. I might be selling this home in the next few years.

We are currently under contract for a home and on day 7 of our 12 day inspection contingency. The general inspection found bowing in the foundation and marked concern for the roof tiles, and recommended further inspection for both. Our realtor (who has been less than ideal in many capacities) was dissuading us from these additional inspections for the reasons below but we’ve decided we have to have them done. I got contacts from another realtor (a friend who I desperately wish I hired instead) and I’m calling today. Assuming we can’t get the final repair report done until day 10 or 11, are we totally fucked?? Foundation issue: stucco is slightly bowed at foundation level on one side of house - realtor said the inspector told her it could just be something to monitor Roof issue: cement tiles are original (38 yrs old) even though the paper underneath was replaced in 2017 - realtor thinks since the paper/waterproofing was replaced the roof should be fine. Cement tiles have a 40yr lifes...

My parents left the 50 year old rural family house in the trust and I am the trustee in charge of selling the property, in California. There are several problems with the property. First and foremost is the fact both my parents were hoarders. Second is the house is in need of repairs. Currently there are three residents of the house all family. There needs to be electrical, septic, and general repairs done to the house along with removing the hoard. Unfortunately I am the only one that is going to be doing the work. I have removed four twenty yard dumpsters of trash so far in the last four months, almost have gathered enough for another 20 yard and will likely need one or two more after that. I have found many family keepsakes among the trash and am trying to get them off the property to family.

Since becoming a real estate agent, I’ve noticed a hard truth: there are a lot of agents out there who seem more focused on making a quick buck than actually helping people. I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by a group of supportive, honest colleagues who genuinely care about the clients they represent. We’re a mountain-based brokerage, and maybe that’s part of the difference, but I’ve found that some city agents can be a lot more cutthroat or careless in how they handle their work. That said, I know this isn’t a blanket truth about all city agents, or all mountain agents, for that matter. There are bad apples everywhere. But the contrast I’ve experienced has been eye-opening. At the end of the day, we’re not just dealing with contracts, we’re helping real human beings, families, people going through major life transitions. This business shouldn’t be about rushing deals or bending the truth just to close something faster. We are here to educate, negotiate contracts, and act ...

Hey!!! I have a question. I’m super interested in learning more about getting a real estate license in New York. Do I really need to take those official real estate courses to be eligible for the license exam? I feel like they’re so expensive and kind of useless. I don’t really want to pay for them.

I’m fairly new to the US market and was wondering if any of you have experience with co-broking deals — like agent-to-agent agreements where two brokers collaborate on a sale. Is it something that happens often in your area? I recently heard about an app called Co-broke that apparently lets you create agent-to-agent contracts digitally. Sounds like it could be useful, especially for deals across states or with agents you don’t know well. Has anyone tried it or used something similar?

I was working with a mortgage consultant who didn’t want to do a pre-approval, he wanted me to go straight to underwriting to see what they would say about my situation. I just recently changed careers from social work to software development making a lot more initially with that number expected to rise. My credit score is in the excellent range and I only have federal student loan debt a little over the national average. Their first problem: My offer letter lists my pay as hourly and they said they need to see a guarantee of full-time. My solution: I got a letter from HR outlining that I would be 40-hours full-time. Their second problem: When they called HR they didn’t like that they gave them a contract end date. Now they’re saying my income is not stable. My issue: How is being on a contract an issue when no employment is guaranteed plus the contract is likely to get renewed and if not, they just place me elsewhere.

So I just went down a rabbit hole researching The Line (that crazy NEOM project in Saudi) and found out theyre actually selling units now. We're talking $1-5 million for apartments in what will basically be a 500m tall, 170km long building in the desert. Some wild facts: 140,000 workers currently building it Using 20% of the worlds available steel supply First section opens 2030 (only 2.4km instead of promised 170km) Foreigners can buy but need residency permits No cars, everything within 5 min walk Mirrored exterior walls (RIP birds) The whole thing sounds like something from a sci-fi movie but they're actually building it. Construction videos show massive excavation happening right now. What gets me is the density - theyre planning for 260,000 people per square km. That's 6x denser than Manila. In a single building. In the desert. Anyone here actually considering buying? Or know someone who has? I'm genuinely curious if people are dropping millions on apa...

I'm a complete noob to this entire thing. Me and my wife are pretty sold on the idea of buying a duplex as our first home/investment. We are open to a few different markets that we've lived at over the years and we have been circling the drain on the suburbs of Philly as a possible landing spot. Is this a good market? I asked one real estate agent and he sent us a few options that weren't super great and nothing really shows up on Zillow or anything. We definitely DONT want to live in Philadelphia proper and are really trying to stay out of the rough areas. What do you guys think about areas like Phoenixville, Conshohocken, King of Prussia...? We have 250k to put down, excellent credit. Our other options are Charlotte and Austin (Austin seems really affordable right now).

I rent an ADU/Guest house behind the main house, and the owners (who moved out of state months ago) recently sold it. Along with the sale came giving us our 30 day notice, when I asked if the new buyers were interested in continuing to rent out the guest house, while he said ' oh yeah I think some they have elderly parents they'll be moving in ' - it came off like he was making this up on the spot and it hadn't crossed his mind to actually ask the new buyer. I've been viewing places for rent for the last 2 weeks so if the new buyers indeed don't want to rent out the guest house, no problem, I'll be gone before they're moving in. I can also imagine something where the buyer mentioned an elderly parent eventually moving in here, but that being a plan for years down the road. But I don't like any of my options better than where I am now, so I'd really like to make sure the new owners were asked. So - how can I find out who bought the place? Too...

In a midwest college town, right next to a military base, I bought a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1400 sqft ranch style house that was built in 1988, on .72 acres, with a fenced-in yard. I paid $249,000 using a 30 year mortgage at 4.3% in 2022. According to Zillow (and the oh so reliable Zestimate) my property has appreciated to $264,000. Now I just can't help but wonder what is realistically the upper limit of appreciation for this home? I know my interest rate is low by today's standards, but I can't help but get the feeling that at a certain point, the appreciation of my property will fall below the compounding interest of my home loan, and I'll take a loss on it, because even after making renovations to the home, I'm still not sure I'd pay $260,000 for it, let alone $270,000+ in the next 5 - 10 years. TLDR: How can you be sure that homes will actually appreciate, and avoid a loss? Edit: I should add, I've moved away from the area, and am currently renting ...

I have 2 existing liens against my primary residence for predatory loans by a pair of brothers I unfortunately dealt with at the most vulnerable point in my life. I was trying to save my business back in 2017 and I had to hire a chap 11 attorney.

So as a last resort I had to hire the attorney on the spot after the consult.

My house has been listed since October 2024, and I'm under a one year contract. My price is currently 40 K lower than my original listing price. My realtor was convinced I could aim high with my price but in reality, my house is more updated than my neighborhood but I have a smaller square footage than my neighborhood comps. My realtor, his broker and I think our current price is spot on, based on recent sale comps. I am currently listed at a price that is lower than what I paid for the house. After fees and closing costs of course, I'll be losing about 70k on the house. If I don't go any lower, I can afford to buy my next house.

In 2023, we relocated to Florida (tampa bay) due to my husband's job. We had a house in Texas that sold on its first day on the market for over $ 50,000 above asking price.

My wife will be using train to boston ( an hour long) and I will be driving almost an hour to work . However we now notice that there are water easement running along the lot line and also there is electric easement in the area joining cul-de-sac and front yard of the house . And also there is Verizon underground system ( location is unknown at this time ) I also notice that there are certain restriction and covenants which was initially signed for 10 lots in 2002. I went through then none of them really bothered me . I am really torn whether to go for this house which has most of my checklists but so many easements and restrictions or to search for another house in Hopkint...

Price changes are a great way to get new attention to your property, but they can also backfire. I'm watching a few different areas where I'd consider buying, and all of them are currently either stagnant or slowly declining markets. Which puts me in a decent position, even if many owners are still high on 2022 prices and haven't yet fully realize they missed the boat. So I watch price cuts closely every day to see if any of the houses I'd consider have been reduced (and how much) plus keep an eye on the overall local market. I also watch what goes pending and recently sold prices. These are my impressions of various types of price cuts. Of course this is my personal subjective opinion but I think my mindset matches that of a lot of buyers. First, it's not always the amount of the cut, it's WHEN you cut. Timing is everything. Let's say you're selling an $800k house: If it's been on the market for two weeks and you cut $10k, that tells me you ar...

We bought right before COVID, at around 500K, 20% down, 2.8% interest. Basically we got lucky with very good timing. Now it's time to sell, probably a little below 700K or so. A decent 40% increase. However, if I include made costs for maintenance, taxes, some minor improvements, interest, and realtor fees our profit on the 100K down payment is not great. Basically it would've been the same or better had we put the 100K in an SP500 index fund and rented an equivalent house. Probably much less maintenance work and better cashflow as well. I'm somewhat surprised given the good timing we had, I guess it's even more difficult nowadays. submitted by /u/AmazingSibylle [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1l25ufq/renting_wouldve_been_financially_better_in/

My dad owns a small home that definitely has some issues, and would be considered a fixer-upper. He’s looking to sell his house so he can move across the country to be closer to his wife’s family. They will likely be renting for a while. My dad is retired (his wife works) but they do not have a lot of income and will be dependent on the proceeds of this sale to use for rent and living expenses. The problem is that he has been in close contact with a “cash for keys” buyer who reached out to him and he plans to sell to this guy. His logic is that he wants a quick sale, not pay fees, and not worry about the condition of the house when he leaves (on top of the condition of the house, he has accumulated a lot of junk over the years). I’m concerned for obvious reasons, I think this buyer is low balling him and there’s is a high chance that once they go to closing there will be “surprises”. Already, the guy told him the cash offer is now lower because of the market. I have convinced him t...

I've been poking around Zillow in my city, just out of curiosity, looking at what houses go for, their size, location, etc. In general, the larger homes are more or less grouped together in the nicer neighborhoods, with both location and size driving up costs of these houses. Many of the larger homes here offer a worse price per square foot, with homes 2,000+ sq ft often going for around $250-$300/sq ft, while smaller ones, around 1,000-1,400 sq ft, go for around $200 or less per suare foot. I know some of this is location-based, as I've said, but I do see some outliers where there are bigger houses that aren't in the more expensive neighborhoods going for a higher amount per sq ft. So, my question is, do homes' prices per square foot ever increase with size, with all else kept constant? I've seen some posts say that it's usually the opposite, so I'm wondering if it can go either way depending on market conditions or if this increased price per square foo...

Curious if anyone can confirm if this is a possibility. Person I know of buying land and having a house built on it. Basement, plus two levels, 5 bedrooms. Contractor/ building company (they build this model of house a lot) says it will take 2-3 months. This sounds totally unhinged to me. How is it possible to have that quick of a turnaround time? It’s a flat plot of land in a development but I just don’t understand how this is possible. Is this possible? It’s a standard price too, not like paying a premium to have it done quicker. submitted by /u/milkyjoewithawig [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1l1dr1v/house_build_in_3_months/

Our second day on the market a redfin Agent toured our home and left a bad review. He has left this same one line review on at least four properties and I've never seen him leave a positive review. I think it's keeping people from even considering my home and I'm really upset. Anyway to have this feedback removed? submitted by /u/kmm_pdx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1l1aw0t/redfin_agent_tour_insights/

Hey folks! I’m validating an idea for a lightweight tool that helps people consistently build their brand on LinkedIn without overthinking what to post. Here’s the core idea: 🔹 Daily AI-generated LinkedIn posts tailored to your niche (coaches, solopreneurs, ecom founders, etc.) 🔹 Auto-scheduling so you don’t have to log in and post manually 🔹 Content based on trends, past top-performers, and your goals (authority, leads, visibility) 🔹 Optional: comment/DM responders to help you start real conversations I want to know: Would this save you time? What would you want it to do? Would you pay for it? (Or use a free version with limits?) Appreciate any brutal honesty. If you’re interested in trying a beta version, drop a comment too 🙌 submitted by /u/ExpertBother7327 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1l0n9ph/would_you_use_an_ai_tool_that_writes_schedules/

Idk, for searching he just send us regular zillow listings spamming 90 to 100 houses a day just overwhelming no afford at all. we do have a brokerage contract with him and thinking of breaking up, thoughts? submitted by /u/Negative_Name_7730 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1l0h97h/my_agent_wants_us_to_bid_10k_higher/

I am in the process of selling a home in location: AZ. The closing date is in less than 2 weeks. The title company has discovered a UCC fixture lien attached to the property for a bathtub and shower system that was filed about a year ago. This property has been in my possession since 2017. The bathrooms have not had new fixtures installed, and it's pretty obvious. I was unaware of the lien because I never entered into any sort of agreement or loan, so why would there be one? The debtor listed on the filing is a name I have never heard of before in my life. But because it is a fixture lien it is still tied to my address, and the title company said it would complicate or delay the closing potentially. I'm not sure where to go from here. I've contacted the company that it's owed the money, but because I'm not the debtor they will give me no information about what the agreement supposedly was or how much is owed. Is there any way I can get this handled before the sc...
