Lied to

Getting divorced under the threat of fiction I signed paperwork in court to put the house on the market. The realtor came to my house and I signed the paperwork. It said the list price would be 799,000. The realtor listed for $749,000 then the date went on the market. She called me said we have an offer for 739,000 and called me back saying they raised it to 749,000 I never responded. This was discovered a week ago additionally, where I signed that paperwork, the date is not when I signed it. December 9. The date next to my signature is December 15 That is not what I signed it had signed that paperwork a week earlier. But should be done what can I do? This was done on purpose to try to force the sale of the house. I also discovered the mortgage has not been paid Since October and I cannot pay it. I cannot do anything about it because I am not on the mortgage just indeed. submitted by /u/sadiemy1dog [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1q...

Beginner Hoping to Learn How to Buy a Home

Hi everyone, I’m very new to real estate and would love to learn enough to eventually buy a home for my family. I’m a complete beginner, so I’m hoping to connect with someone who can kindly “show me the ropes” and help me understand the process step by step. Any guidance, resources, or mentorship would be truly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and kindness. submitted by /u/Terrible_Chipmunk700 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1q6gt8q/beginner_hoping_to_learn_how_to_buy_a_home/

Cost segregation on a smaller rental, how do you pick a firm without getting sold a fantasy number

I’m about to do my first cost segregation study and I’m stuck on the dumb part, picking the firm. If you’ve used any of these, who would you trust for a normal deal, R. E. Cost Seg, KBKG, Engineered Tax Services, or CSSI? Context, this is a straightforward investment property, not a primary. I’m not trying to chase the biggest first year write off, I’m trying to avoid buying a report that my CPA side eyes or that turns into a mess if it ever gets questioned. The quotes I’ve gotten are all over the place. Different fees, different timelines, and the projected reclass percentages vary way more than I expected, which makes me wonder how much of this industry is methodology and how much is sales. For people who’ve done it, what actually mattered after the fact Did your CPA care about engineered vs non engineered, or just the quality of the asset list Virtual walkthrough vs in person site visit, did it change anything What did audit support look like in reality, did anyone actually n...

Question for Texas Real Estate Agents!!

We recently met with a realtor to begin searching for a larger home for our family. In doing, so the realtor told us about the buyer service agreement. We understand that in order for them to show us a home we need to have this document signed. However, we have not 100% ruled out going the new build route & because of this we requested that the realtor exclude new construction from this agreement. They have pushed back and said that they won’t work with us if we exclude new construction. Now my question is … Is this typical? What value does a realtor bring to the table for new construction homes? submitted by /u/Total-Amount4987 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1q6ar87/question_for_texas_real_estate_agents/

At what point does IT actually matter for real estate?

Serious question. When you’re managing multiple properties, lenders, partners, and platforms, at what point does IT stop being an afterthought and start becoming something you need to take seriously? Between cloud docs, accounting software, property management tools, remote access, and security, it feels like there’s a lot that could go wrong — but most investors I know still just “figure it out” as they go. Curious how others handle this. Do you invest in proper IT support or just deal with issues when they pop up? submitted by /u/Consistent_Damage824 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1q5jg36/at_what_point_does_it_actually_matter_for_real/

new build, deck shouldn’t have passed for occupancy

Under contract, full asking on a new build. Lots of little/easy fixes but 2 code violations should not have granted this house an occupancy permit. Open slots in the electrical panel (missing plugs for the knockouts removed but not filled w/breakers). And all of the joists on the deck were hung using deck screws, NOT nails. Also, not in every hole either. I didn’t see when the cert was issued but it likely could have been when we had 2’ of snow. The little stuff is cake, but I know I wouldn’t want to pull up deck boards in January, so what’s that worth? Not a large deck 8x10 maybe. I get mixed signals from other agents at the brokerage but they all agree the new build complicates it. submitted by /u/Specialist-Beat-6146 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1q5gokw/new_build_deck_shouldnt_have_passed_for_occupancy/

5–10 Verified Buyer Calls Guaranteed

Why do most real estate leads talk but never show up for calls? Body: I’m noticing a pattern across real estate sellers and agents lately. A lot of inquiries. Messages asking for price. Very few serious conversations. Even when ads or portals bring volume, the quality drops hard. Curious to hear from others here: What’s been your biggest issue with buyer inquiries? No-shows? Time wasters? Or people just “checking prices”? submitted by /u/Akshat_srivastava_1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1q4hhm1/510_verified_buyer_calls_guaranteed/

Anyone else struggling to get serious buyers for high-ticket properties?

Seeing this a lot with premium and commercial properties lately. Plenty of enquiries. Lots of calls. Very few people who are actually budget-ready or decision-makers. Most leads feel like noise brokers fishing, window shoppers, or people nowhere near closing. I’ve been testing a more filtered approach recently, and when done right, it consistently results in 5–10 verified, decision-maker calls per month not just random enquiries. Curious to hear from others here: What’s working for you to filter serious buyers? Ads vs referrals what’s actually converting right now? How are you qualifying before hopping on calls? submitted by /u/Akshat_srivastava_1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1q4h858/anyone_else_struggling_to_get_serious_buyers_for/
