Do house's really sell in hours?

I am an inheriter on an estate. We have been trying to sell a house for about a year now. 3 sales have fallen through. We have 5 inheriters. The main one is sketchy but we just want to sell it and be done.

The question is: should we really only have 24 hours or less to accept the offer to sell the house? Its always less than 16 hours and they always blow our phones up to drop everything and sign the papers within 2 to 16.

I am wondering if this is realistic. With 3 previous offers myself and my 2 siblings dropped things (no matter the inconvenience) and signed paperwork. At the time, I was day shift at flexible job, one sibling had graduated school and was doing deliveries working toward opening their own business, and the last sibling was a security guard for a private company. Now all of careers are much more involved and have taken off very well in the last 2-4 months. All 3 of us nearly got fired for the lengths these people went through to get ahold of us to day when my mother told them we were all at work and able to answer and they were not kind when we did not sign the deal by 2000 and we lost the sale.

I just don't think that is how it really works but I know I can be wrong and want to figure out how to verify. Any help is appreciated.

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/
