| Doubling Down , i Hate the Microwave over the range too Posted: 13 Oct 2020 09:48 AM PDT to double down on my post yesterday about the TV above the fireplace. I'm also hating the microwave above the range. [link] [comments]  |
| Feeling deflated after 360K offer (full asking price) was rejected vs ... Posted: 13 Oct 2020 02:42 PM PDT Hello, long time lurker - wanted to make a post to just vent a bit :-) .My wife and I wanted to move back to our homecity (buy a house) which currently has an insanely hot market. We were in the city this past weekend to look at a few properties, including a really beautiful one that had just been listed this past Friday night itself (we were lucky enough to get a viewing on Saturday). We went to see the property and really really liked it ; we asked our agent to get disclosures, comps and had a few follow up questions (HOA rent restrictions etc) - we were able to put in an offer at listing price of about 360K for a 2 bed 1 bath property (~1000 sq ft) , which is definitely over priced (vs recent comps) but we loved the property a lot. Just found out that our offer was rejected because someone had an all cash offer for the property + waived appraisal/inspection. I don't think we can compete with that :-) Either way just wanted to vent a bit because we both are feeling a bit deflated :-) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 13 Oct 2020 07:44 AM PDT Does anyone else feel like the weeks coming up to closing were the longest weeks in your life? Before we were set to close weeks were flying by. We close on the 16th and these past few weeks feel like it's been months. [link] [comments]  |
| Do open houses help sell houses? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 05:30 PM PDT We are selling our house, have a lot of showings already scheduled (I think around 10) but my husband is really adamant that we push for an open house. I am concerned that an open house will attract neighbors and the "tire kickers" type people. Not to mention I'm concerned about people stealing things. Agent doesn't think we need one seeing as our listing has only been live for all of 6 hours and already has tons of interest, but he will do it if we really want to. So I need Reddit to tell me who wins this argument. Will an open house help us sell or is it pointless? [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone use Lowe's for installing lvp? Posted: 14 Oct 2020 02:34 AM PDT Their prices seem reasonable at $.99 per Sq feet. Almost all the handyman I've talked to are charging at least $2.50 per Sq feet for installation. Do we have to buy lvp from Lowe's to get installation from them? [link] [comments]  |
| What to Include in an Welcome Packet for First Time Home Owners Posted: 13 Oct 2020 05:01 PM PDT Hi guys! So I'm a fairly new agent, just finished my first year and I'm still working on putting systems into place and my resource materials. One idea I had today was to create a move in checklist, which turned into including a home maintenance checklist and has now expanded into a welcome packet for home owners. So far I'm thinking abouy including a welcome to your home section, and a welcome to your neighborhood section. The home section would encompass the home maintenance checklist, the home inspection report, the mls listing, utility contact info, and whatever else would be helpful. The neighborhood section could have menus from great restaurants nearby, municipal and police contact info, and maybe events local to the area. So my question is if you were just moving into a house, especially as a first time home buyer what info would be useful (not just junk) to you? [link] [comments]  |
| What do sellers do with their pets for showings? Posted: 14 Oct 2020 01:53 AM PDT we recently bought from a couple that had a dog. During our viewing, inspection, and walkthroughs the sellers were never there and obviously took the dog with them. However, we have a cat. It's not exactly easy to "go to the park" with a cat for an hour during a viewing. My main concern with just leaving a pet at home during a viewing or inspectors is two gold. One is obviously harm and two is escape if one of the potential buyers or inspector leaves the door ajar for too long. So I was just curious from the realtors on here, what do sellers do with pets that are not dogs during these times times to ensure the safety of your pet? [link] [comments]  |

| Is the Turnpike too close to our proposed house? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 08:24 PM PDT We are looking to build a house. The builder showed us the lot, and it's a nice lot on a cul de sac, with space for a pool and decent yard. We have two boys in elementary school. I put down a small deposit ($5k), with 5% more due next week. It will be the last lot to be developed. It was the last lot made available for purchase because they kept throwing coal and dirt on it from other lots. So they say. Before looking at it for the first time, I knew the Turnpike was close enough that we could hear it if we all kept quiet. I bitched and moaned about it to the builders even though it didn't really bother me or my wife. They gave us 10k off. Big whoop. Well, my wife and I drove to it tonight. We parked and turned off the car. We heard the noise. Google Maps shows us that the Turnpike is a quarter mile away. Behind the house is all trees and woods, though. Through the trees some lights from the Turnpike can be seen if you look hard enough. I imagine in a month when all the leaves will be gone, we will be able to see and hear more. This is a turnoff for me. I don't want to hear cars while I'm on the deck, or trying to fall asleep. I've also read that contaminants and pollution from brake dust, rubber, and exhaust fumes can potentially make a difference in health at that distance. Also, what will it do for resale value if that ever arises? An already confusing endeavor has become even more confusing now. My wife is okay with it.... but I'm not on board 100%. But maybe I just really wanted a reason not to buy a new house. It seems like the time to sell and buy is now though. I don't think they are developing much more in this school district. Does anyone have any experience with being a quarter mile away from a highway? I know this is all subjective. I guess I just want to hear others thoughts. [link] [comments]  |

| is it legal to post someone’s pending contract on social media? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 04:54 PM PDT A new realtor I follow on instagram keeps posting videos scrolling through contracts they are currently completing, which include the first and last names, payments, addresses etc. Is this legal? I know it's unprofessional but is it actually okay to do? I'm wondering if I should give her a heads up to avoid trouble. (FL, United States) [link] [comments]  |

| Advice On Renting A Home In A Different State... Posted: 14 Oct 2020 04:22 AM PDT Hi All... Question - Say you find a home that looks great online, and is exactly what you are looking for, yet you live on the opposite coast, and you plan on driving to check out the house and area etc, yet my fear is if on the way driving there, someone else loves it, then tough luck drove all the way for nothing. What are good tips for situations, where you see are seeking a home in a different state? Can you work anything out with the agent, landlord in advance before seeing something and taking the trek? Can you purchase a rental without seeing it? Or do some sort of hold, until finally seeing it? I know that seems illogical, lol just trying to find out what the normal protocols for the situation explained of trying to find places out of state. Thanks Hope I made sense. [link] [comments]  |

| Buying a house with unpermitted work? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 05:05 PM PDT Hi all - we're in contract for a house. We are doing inspection Friday, but we found out there was some work done without permits (a finished basement and a loft converted to a bedroom & bathroom). One thing to note is the added bedroom is behind a "secret bookcase" that's ~5 ft tall due to a pitched roof. I am sure this is not technically code, but unsure what the repercussions of this could be. Is this a dealbreaker? What should I look for before moving forward? Will this make it harder to sell in the future? Thank you! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 13 Oct 2020 01:25 PM PDT We just put our house on the market and I was hoping to get some feedback on the pics. It's a super hot market and I thought we would get more interest than we have. It's a 2-story and they tend to sit longer (and the reason we're selling) but maybe there's something that it turning people off with the pics. Thanks for any help! [link] [comments]  |
| Need advice with unresponsive appraiser. Posted: 13 Oct 2020 02:03 PM PDT Hello - thank you for reading. Any ideas or advice appreciated! I am selling and our closing has been pushed back twice now because our appraiser has been unresponsive and vague when responding. It is a VA loan and he's had some repair contingencies attached to the appraisal. I understand the appraiser has control and the loan won't get funded without the appraisal. But what recourse do we have? The delay is now costing both sides thousands of dollars. [link] [comments]  |
| Due Diligence: Seller REFUSING to answer questions Posted: 13 Oct 2020 11:13 PM PDT STATE: Georgia First time home buyer. I just went under contract, and currently in Due Diligence period. In addition to scheduling a home inspection - I also typed up a few questions to ask the seller regarding the property (e.g, Is there a transferable warranty from the manufacturer regarding the new roof and HVAC unit? ...Have you ever seen evidence of rodent infestation in/on the property? ...Has there ever been an occurrence of death by homicide on the property?) I sent the list to my realtor and he sent it to the listing agent. My realtor called me today to notify me that the listing agent has referred me to the seller's disclosure form, and that her clients do not wish to answer my questions. I have read the "boiler plate" seller disclosure - and the questions I asked are not addressed in the disclosure. I have read that the seller is required (by Georgia code) to answer buyer questions as long as the questions do not go against the Fair Housing Act. My realtor seems to think their refusal is unfortunate, but his concern seems to end there. What are my options? I want to understand my next steps prior to Due Diligence expiring in the next few days. [link] [comments]  |
| Interested in Real Estate Wholeselling Posted: 13 Oct 2020 10:00 PM PDT Hello, I am an 18 year old college freshman and have been considering beginning real estate whole selling. From what I understand the process involves finding distressed/forclosing properties and obtaining the buyers contract. You then sell the contract to an investor and collect the commission. My only issue is that I'm not sure where to start. I live in California and it's not easy to find distressed properties or eager real estate investors. Any advice is welcome and gratefully appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 13 Oct 2020 12:55 PM PDT As the title says, my buyer walked because the inspection report said the roof is old and HVAC is old and inspection said it's at end of life. Even though the inspection didn't find any evidence of leaks on roofs and the AC system is cooling as expected (17 degree differential) . The inspection report actually says so, except the inspector decided to write in bold letters that the AC was noisy and needs to be serviced and that the roof is at end of life. So looking at the report the first time home buyer got spooked and wanted us to replace the entire roof and HVAC on our dime. As the house was listed keeping the older equipment in mind (about 15-20k from comps) and due to fact the we had already agreed on a price 8k below list, we refused. The buyer walked. So now, do I need to disclose anything to a new buyer or wait for them to have their inspection on their own? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 13 Oct 2020 09:32 PM PDT I live in a 10 unit condo building. I rent however most of the units are owner occupied. I live in one of four units with a small back yard within an alley way and there is a shared courtyard that all 10 units share. 4-5 months ago the condo association pretty much forced all the yard owning units to have the yards torn out and paved citing rat problems in the alley. The repaving is currently in progress and was started October 1 and expecting to be done by the 17 or 18. They started with the other 3 spaces before doing ours last. For the work to be done we had to remove any and all belongings from the space for work to be done. I own a 10ft kayak that had to be temporarily relocated to the front courtyard. It's off to the side and not interfering with any egress. Two of the units are owned by one guy. His tenants moved out of one unit October 8 and he took a couple days to clean it up and have it staged and is putting both on the market this week. It's not even in the MLS yet (as of Tuesday afternoon at least). The owner is demanding that the kayak be removed and threatening to hold the condo association liable for intentionally blocking a sale based on the kayak not being "a good look". The condo association is basically telling me to deal with it and get rid of the kayak. Is this a thing or he just being a dick? Location: Washington, DC [link] [comments]  |
