House on Market for 7 months - this has ruined my life

I have had my house on the market for almost 7 months in Florida. It went on the market in June. We decided to sell it since we have been renting it out due to having jobs and life in another state, and we did not think we wanted to go back there. My renter moved out in June, so I have been paying rent and mortgage for 7 months now. After the 3rd month I was getting nervous. When it came to the second week of November I was slightly panicking, and now we are are in a world of trouble due to debt from paying double rent/mortgage, and I was not in good shape financially when this started. I have had no offers, besides a ridiculously low invested offer that was kinda spam, I have reduced the price by 85k, and there is just no movement. As of the end of this month we are going to have to upend our lives and move back into the house. My partner is going to either quit his job, or we are going to have to live separately until the house is not stale real estate anymore. We are just sick about this. Two other people I know in real estate blame my realtor. He has been a friend, and sold my last house and found me renters when we had to move, but people say it seems like he didn’t hustle enough for this house in a challenging market. I am probably going to have to declare bankruptcy, and we don’t even have the money to move due to the double expenses for so long. This has been a nightmare. I know I am blessed to have property, and understand that many are struggling, but I never thought that this house would be the thing that ruined our lives. Anyone else had similar situations and have some creative solutions?

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...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
