Should I get a new realtor? Selling a house in foreclosure

Sorry I know this sub gets this question a lot but hopefully I can get some answers here.

I live in VA and have received a notice from my lender two weeks ago that my home will be foreclosed. Lender claims it will take 60 to 90 days but I’m feeling uneasy about it. I feel like it might happen sooner and I’m losing sleep over it. It’s my first foreclosure on my very first home ( not my choice but the job market sucks) I contacted a realtor to see if I could list the home before I went into foreclosure. I do have equity and I would hate to lose it. The home is older not the best( it’s a flipper house) so it needs work. However I but I figure I should get something for at least.

The problem I have is my realtor. I understand I can’t make anyone buy the house however. It’s been a month since I’ve last heard from them. I’ve sent a text message twice within that time frame just asking for an update and I get nothing in response. Even when I called I have not received a callback. Again I know I can’t make someone buy the house but the lack of response is just very concerning. My gut says it’s time to move on but I don’t want to jump prematurely.

I’m out on medical leave but I have not been paid, I’m well behind on bills ( which is the only phone calls I do get regularly) needless to say it’s all extremely stressful. Combined with the realtor bit, my gut feeling is to find someone else but I’m not sure if it’s just anxiety and I’m being impatient.

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/
