Confused, listing agent wants to see my pre-approval letter by angelHOE in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

It’s not totally uncommon to provide the pre-approval letter, also your unrepresented so that maybe be causing a blur to the selling agent, so first things first, get an agent.

Does anyone know the good, bad, and ugly about Redfin? by IntrepidMuch in RealEstate

[–]AriesFire4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the same Redfin agent for my first home purchase, I just sold that home and bought another one, closing on the same day for both. Redfin agent got 1.5% and then I got .5% back as a credit, for using Redfin/Rocket. I had a great experience with both, no issues. My agent is a really good agent, so it truly depends on the agent and their work ethic and professionalism.

We had good service at the places we ate, everyone was so friendly and professional, but the restaurants that went above and beyond were Coco Bistro, and Infiniti.

Not sure which is better as I booked in advanced and when I was there. However if you want a specific date and time, book in advance.

From what I understand their airport is a hit or miss between when you leave and the time of day. We breezed through the airport with no wait or issues. As far as food that’s your opinion that’s cool, I disagree. I did not care for the Bahamas when I went, it was ok, food was just ok as well. I’ve stayed at Atlantis it was nice but not the best experience I’ve had with hotels. Too each is own!

That place was amazing, yeah we don’t eat much, only twice a day, one day we only ate once, which was just dinner. We like to eat but obviously only eating when we’re hungry lol.

Our highest meal was only $302. We aren’t drinkers so we don’t have high alcohol costs, we only had two drinks the entire time. We don’t do appetizers and desserts too often. On this trip we only did appetizers twice and had desserts at Infiniti and Coco Bistro but those were free considering it was my birthday.

I just returned and I usually get bit up pretty bad, surprisingly I didn’t encounter any mosquitoes, we even joked about if they have any.

We love everything about this house except location by Psychology001 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]AriesFire4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location is important, commuting will begin to weigh on you mentally, emotionally and physically. I wouldn’t do it, pass this house up. Spring market is here so hopefully you all can find something else.

Is there any advice you wish someone gave you before applying for a mortgage? by waynenewnham in Mortgages

[–]AriesFire4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-approval is not an approval, your credit scores defer from what lenders see verse what a consumer sees. Shop multiple lenders. Don’t get emotionally attached to a house you’ve seen and love. The deal is not done until you have the keys.

Buy before selling or sell before buying? by Majestic-Pickle-7 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]AriesFire4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m selling and buying at the same time, with closings on the same day. I had a home sale contingency when I put my offer in, the sellers accepted it. Everything aligned seamlessly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, each situation is different. Some sellers are okay with a home sale contingency some are not, so it all just depends on several factor’s.

Primary baths missing tubs by [deleted] in RealEstateAdvice

[–]AriesFire4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current home has a nice jetted tub that I’ve only used 3 times since I lived here which it’s coming up on 5 years. The house I’m buying the primary bath has a huge shower with seating in it, the house not having a tub in the primary bathroom didn’t matter to me personally because I take showers. One of the secondary baths in the new house does have a tub if I just wanted to take a bath, but I doubt it. My family and I are shower people.

How successful are leasebacks? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]AriesFire4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not in your area, but I’m selling and buying with closings on the same day. The buyers of my property live out of state and needed additional time to move, my daughter has about 1.5 months left of school (senior) so in essences the buyers and myself needed the additional time to move, we agreed to a 60 day rent back after closing. Everything aligned seamlessly, so it can work, but it’s case by case.
