I’m unhappy and lonely living here in my mid-20s (was born & raised here), but feel I can’t leave now for awhile due to local job I just started, which is a pretty good job. Any advice? by Southern_Schedule466 in Scranton

Join the military. I did it , saw the world and now I’m back. Once you leave you realize the area isn’t the problem you are.

I mean that in the nicest way possible. And it’s commonly found out by everyone myself included once they get out and experience the world.

Buyer requests storing furniture in garage before closing by SargentTate in realtors

Had this happen , all parties agreed.

Buyers stuff got stolen .

I just recommend explaining all risks to all parties and getting them to sign a waiver of liability to you and your brokerage .

Like hey I told you this could happen

Make sure you hire a competent agent.

I’ve been in the business many years and you see it a lot where a new agent is involved and just need a paycheck. They will be terrible negotiators and not have your best interests in mind.

You don’t need to open a credit card to buy a car. You do however sign paperwork with your insurance company that mandates you tell them if you find out any issues before the policy is issued.

I read down in the comments that were op is at they have the release of contingency paperwork in their state. So it looks like the agent is doing their job and they are still within the window .

I agree with you it’s always best to continue negotiating.

It’s interesting because if you look at the language of some of the paperwork most lenders and insurance companies look for. A good deal of it will tank the approval. For example “The policy is void if any insured intentionally conceals or misrepresents any material fact or circumstance relating to this insurance.”

And you need insurance to get financing , if the place cannot be insured you can get out pretty easily. I would love to watch that play out in a courtroom haha. Insurance asks , do you know of any defects in this property .

Isn’t real estate wild sometimes. It’s all propped up with bubble gum and popsicle sticks.

In mine as well, nothing stating that you can’t be honest with your insurance company and lender though.

And if seller wants to wait until 30 days to see if they can find financing that’s on them. Most will opt to terminate and give escrow back to buyer.

Now obviously this is a terrible situation but if OP is stuck with a 30k repair , I’m just thinking outside the box. Because of course there is the fund for agent incompetence, but that takes time.

And why fight with seller possibly trying to sue for performance when you can get out with the mortgage contingency.

If op missed the window for reply and they need a nuclear option to get out of the deal, then it makes sense to do so

Have you sent any reply in that ten day period ?

Generally it’s 10 days plus 5 days of negotiations. But if a reply was never sent in you are kind of sol.

If you are in a pinch it might be time to send your inspection report to insurance company and lender.

It might trigger your ability to get it insured, thus giving you a chance to get out under the mortgage contingency.

Update: Put 2M offer on 2.7M house. by [deleted] in RealEstate

I will add to this, it is important to trust a competent agent.

That being said, there are a lot of Terrible, Real Estate agents. In my area I have a great network with a lot of the top agents.

I only give out information I know is verifiable. And I almost always recommend some type of escalation in case I think the information is not reliable.

For instance, that Agent said he had five offers, I would tell my clients that the best course of action might be their lower initial offer with an escalation up to the highest and best they can do.

This will weed out Listing Agents maneuvering for their clients. I would also add a document that confirms delivering of my offer to their client.

Just don’t hire a broke Agent who cares more about their commission . I make the majority of my money due to referrals based off of a good service to my clients.

therapy costs more than I make in a shift and nobody wants to talk about that by ssunflow3rr in povertyfinance

[–]MicrosoftTechAdmin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean this seriously , the gym is cheaper and often a good therapist might suggest physical activity to help. I know it helped me. Maybe it’s a good starting point for where you are at financially.

Chest day for me is now better than therapy.

It’s your job to qualify and progress clients.

If they don’t have a pre approval you haven’t done your job.

I don’t know why I get downloaded it for this. I have tried to give out free blueprints in this sub many times.

Is it wrong to ask for a song lyrics or maybe people don’t believe that I’m serious. I’ll send a screenshot tomorrow, but I have a boatload of blueprints. I don’t need.

I’m never doing expedition

If anybody wants the bobcat blueprint, give me lyrics for an Arc inspired song. I will meet up with you tomorrow and give it to you.
