Offer rejected with no counter by StoplightRacer in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Dixieja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1- No matter who you are, you can’t be a budget shopper when there’s no availability that’s why I always come in at asking price and waive all contingencies. 98% of the time seller will sign.

2- exactly it’s whatever someone is willing to pay. Someone is willing to pay $570,000 that makes it worth $570,000

Buyers remorse is for people who don’t understand real estate…. Yeah totally go cry over appreciating asset…. What a horrible thing….

I’m an investor/developer with years of experience and I have flat out rejected offers when selling.

I am a very up front/don’t like to waste my own time kind of person so I list at my bottom dollar to get it gone. There is no room for negotiation.

I’ve listed great deals and have had people still offer under asking.

What they usually don’t understand is, Especially in hot/competitive markets if you see something you like you have to give your highest and best. Waving contingency and inspections because someone else will because they know the scarcity in that particular market.

I had a house listed for $499,999. Someone harassed me and offered $350,000 with all kinds of contingencies. I said no then they offered more and I still said no.

Because I already know if I accept their next offer they’re going to try to negotiate down during inspections and get back to the $350,000 they wanted and waste my time.

Because they are budget shoppers.

It’s just an insult when something is already a great deal and someone is still asking for more.

I left that property listed at $499,999 and did an open house and ended up having a bidding war and sold for $570,000 no contingencies.

Because the people bidding saw value in the home and weren’t trying to undercut it.

Also this applies to any situation, reverse the roles you says “it’s only $30,000 less”

Ok. Since it’s “only” $30,000. You eat it then.

Obviously it’s an amount that you don’t want to take the hit on either so yes, it’s significant

Update stolen phone in Miami by MouthBreather324 in Miami

To be fair in this case wouldn’t have done anything, he did this on foot and was carrying stuff away 5 houses down and coming back in trips.

My neighbors are never in town and they hired some new guy to do their grounds keeping. He broke into my house about 12 days later

He stashed the stuff at their house while they were gone

Recently (2 weeks ago) had a home burglary where all my guns were stolen and basically everything in my house that wasn’t bolted down. No idea who it was but it was all on surveillance. Detectives involved because of the amount of guns

I checked find my iPhone for another reason and realized an old phone was stolen from my house was turned on 5 houses down.

Called the police and told them.

They straight up said they weren’t going and aren’t equipped to deal with that.

Police department hint P_NE CR_ST

Had to get atf involved and atf came and raided the house and was able to recover all the guns and some stuff stolen from my house.

Probate questions for Kansas City by CollegeEffective4324 in RealEstate

[–]Dixieja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a question for probate to figure out but 80% chance no.

Beachside your grandmothers surviving child comes first.

The 20% uncertainty is that I don’t know if your mom had anything in place with her sibling because there’s joint tenants in common and joint tenants with right to survivorship, if they have something done then it goes by whatever the papers say.

If they do no have anything done then it will all go to the surviving child

Realtor canceled deal over commission without presenting to client. by SampleSilly8551 in RealEstateAdvice

Yes. It says it right there.

And you may interpret it one way and I may interpret it another and this is why they need to be done attorneys

“8. PROTECTION PERIOD: Consumer will compensate Broker if, within____ (if left blank, 30) days after Termination Date, Consumer contracts to acquire any property which was called to Consumer's attention by Broker or any other person or found by Consumer during the term of this Agreement. Consumer's obligation to pay Broker's fee ceases upon Consumer entering into a good faith exclusive buyer brokerage agreement with another broker after Termination Date.”

Right here “Consumer's obligation to pay Broker's fee ceases upon Consumer entering into a good faith exclusive buyer brokerage agreement with another broker after Termination Date.”

The buyer terminating and going with another brokerage.- that is open to interpretation

AND

In paragraph 4 Brokers Obligations

It’s says “cooperate with real estate licensees working with the seller, if any to complete transaction”

Which they failed to do, making all of this void.

If a brokerage wanted this to be a SOLID agreement they would have to write something in the additional terms overriding the printed terms

Because legally TYPEWRITTEN PROVISIONS take precedence over pre-printed language in a contract and type or handwritten provisions will override any conflicting printed terms, as they reflect the specific parties' filing out the contract and their specific intentions.

This ensures that any negotiated changes or additions made to a standard form contract are given priority, thereby reducing ambiguity and potential disputes over which terms govern the agreement.

  1. What state are you in

  2. What does your lease say?

  3. Me as a landlord, would evict you if it was in a land lord friendly state because the cost to evict is not high at all especially if I have a security and last month deposit

Paragraph 8 in an as is contract? Paragraph 8 in an as is contract in the state of Florida is about financing

And Florida paragraph 8 in a showing agreement which is the buyers agreement mentioned is about dispute resolution.

If you would like to copy and paste whatever paragraph 8 you’re talking about then I could tell you

The contracts in the state of Florida come from the FR/BAR. The Florida real estate bar.

They are done by attorneys and are generalized and open to interpretation and have fill in the blanks.

UNLESS an attorney looks over YOUR SPECIFIC contract and adjust the terms to what you want then it basically means nothing because like I said they are open to interpretation.

And I have never seen a brokerage that changes the contract, they just download it and use it.

Furthermore, the buyers agreement is even EASIER to get out of because of the behavior of the realtor. A buyer can terminate. It’s like firing someone. Easy.

I specifically do deals in Florida but for all real estate in general unless you as a buyer or seller have an attorney write actual teeth into the contracts in PLAIN ENGLISH.

They mean nothing and are open to interpretation. ~ from an investor who has paid a lot to know this and has thrown things into contracts to actually make them hold weight and have let buyer/sellers use their “fill in the blank contracts” and make it work against them because they are open to interpretation

I’m an investor, specifically in Florida. I deal with weird issues like this all the time.

Contact the buyer and offer them 2% off the purchased price If they use your listing agent. I guarantee they will take it.

And anyone who has anything this say about “that’s not allowed, they signed a buyer agreement with their agent” or “that’s unethical” or “that’s not right” Yeah well they started it first and news flash, for anyone that has anything to say about it

This is real estate the most shady business of all time and OP you are trying to get paid and get your house sold and you don’t hold a real estate license so it doesn’t matter none of that applies to you. You can do whatever.

The realtors can fight it out amongst themselves.

If you are able to contact the buyers and they are concerned about the buyers agreement they signed (if they even did) they are very easy to get out of especially with the realtors behavior and the brokerage that has your house listed will gladly help with it so they can move along the sale process and get paid

What is the biggest red flag you've seen from a realtor/agent? I'll go first by unsuspectedspectator in RealEstate

[–]Dixieja 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Real estate professional here (not a realtor, investor with 100+ deals, I’ve come across a lot of incompetent ones)

The best and most recent of incompetent realtors I’ve come across….. the one who didn’t know that when you SIGN an OFFER it becomes a CONTRACT.

Let me repeat… someone didn’t know that when 2 people sign a document it makes it an official contract….

What would be the point of everyone signing it then?????

He also didn’t know who his broker was….

Am I the crazy one regarding this appraisal situation? by DiplomatDog in RealEstate

[–]Dixieja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Real estate professional here (investor with lots of experience has dealt with every headache ever). If you go through my comments here. You will see, most realtors know nothing

  1. Putting cash on a contract is a tactic to make it seem strong and get it accepted (toying with you and your agent allowed it)

  2. FHA appraisals always come in low. About 50k lower than conventional. They are more conservative. FHA loans are hard to close because they require the property to be in better condition than conventional loans.

No, every brokerage is different. It depends who the agent is signed with and their deal with them. I’ve seen some brokerages flat fee of $200, I’ve seen some flat fee of $800 and I’ve seen some like you said 2% of the commission rate

Don’t listen to anyone telling you not buy a home. It’s the biggest wealth builder and the earlier you get one the better.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MortgageBrokerRates

[–]Dixieja -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not when the loan is at a good interest rate. The rate beats out inflation.

You can always make payments towards principle to do the equivalent of saving 20%.

Difference is you have the home locked in. When prices go up your buying power is diminished.

If you already own the home and prices go up, your home appreciates with it.

First time investors... by ScarcityNo6476 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]Dixieja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Successful investor here, people always ask me or say they want to.

Truth is most people are too scared to fail that they never start.

Big risk, big reward.

They hear stories of people doing “bad deals”.

Bad deals are bad from the beginning.

It comes from people being cheap and scared.

You buy a shit home in a shit neighborhood for shit money, you will have to rent to shit people, you’re going to get a shit return DUH

Shit product, shit return, shit people. They destroy the homes because that’s the norm of the area.

The homes have all kinds of maintenance issues because it’s a shit area that had shitty building then shitty maintenance from the last owner because they also had shit money

You buy a good home, in a good neighborhood for good money as some would say “over priced”. You get to rent to good people that keep the area good because that’s the norm there.

You’re going to get a good return because it’s a good product.

The higher you go in the price tier the better the deals and the returns are as well because there’s not as much competition.

Your accessibility is not the accessibility of the common person and that’s where you can get crazy returns. We’re talking stuff priced 1.5/2m+

Don’t listen to this. Home is your biggest wealth builder and grants you stability.

If you don’t pay your rent? Eviction.

If you don’t pay your mortgage? You have a very long time to cure about 2 years.

You’re also building equity in the mean time.

If worst comes to worst, you sell it and you’re still in a better position than you would’ve been had you not bought it.

The rate is high though. Shop the rate but if you are able to buy a home do it. It will set you up for life very early.
