Expectations of a relocation realtor

We’re relocating 15 hours away for my husband’s new job and using a realtor through a relocation company, but I’m starting to feel like we’re doing all the work and I’m not sure if this is normal. She set us up to get MLS listings by email, but even after giving her our criteria multiple times, we keep getting homes that don’t match. We have a house-hunting trip in 2 weeks (the only time we can make it out there we have little kids and my husband is already traveling a lot for work), and we really wanted to narrow down neighborhoods ahead of time. We asked her for a list of areas that fit our needs so we could research online, but she hasn’t sent anything and won’t confirm her availability for our trip. Right now it feels like we’re blindly trying to research a huge area on our own and hope we can figure it out when we get there. Is it reasonable to expect a relocation realtor to help narrow neighborhoods and plan out a focused list of homes for our trip? Or is this just how it goes and we should be prepared to do most of the legwork ourselves (or maybe ask for a different realtor)?

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/
