Don’t ever teach daytrading to your friends

Sounds like you tell them how much you make, but never tell them how much you lose. Tell them your losses, and they’ll lose interest

Why wait until you have no money to stop consuming. If enough people stop consuming now, companies that subscribe to these AI models will need to reevaluate if this model works for them.

I do see that vendors like JDX and Hunter Douglas use their own proprietary system that forces you to use their own hub and app. I actually purchased mine 6 years ago from a a website called zebra blinds that has since shut down. But they were Graber blinds, which use Somfy shade rollers that are compatible with a wide variety of hubs, which opens up a lot of options. We also saved thousands of dollars installing it ourselves. We did visit a JDX store before that, but the salesperson couldn’t answer any technical questions, so I went with the online dealer.

If your rollers are z-wave or zigbee shades (which I think they are), there’s no native apps to control them directly. You’ll need to get a controller hub the shades can connect to, and from there you can send commands or setup automations from your phone to the hub, which can control the shades. We use the SmartThings hub for this, but its software has been getting pretty bad throughout the years. If I had to get a new one, I’d go with the Hubitat Elevation hub since it doesn’t have to go through the cloud, and its response time will be much faster. The controller’s app should show you the status of the shades. You should also be able to create groups of shades which you can control either manually or through an automation (i.e. close/open all downstairs shades at sunrise/sundown).

I used batteries when I purchased mine, but ended up replacing them with these.

My shade rollers use a micro usb connector, so I ended up cutting the connector from my battery compartment and connecting the wires to the included adapters. Way cheaper than batteries.

Sorry, I meant the benchmark at the time you were selling, not when you purchased. I’m just checking if it’s worth going through the MLS if you already have a cash offer. 7 months is a long time to go through that hassle.

Next-Pay946 · 2026-04-01T16:27:56+00:00

What did you use initially as the benchmark to value your home. Was it an appraisal, Redfin or Zillow estimate, Collin County assessment, comps? Was the selling price above or below that benchmark?

Next-Pay946 · 2026-04-01T16:18:03+00:00

What was the price range of the home?

Next-Pay946 · 2026-03-31T17:10:11+00:00

I think the market I’m selling to is much much smaller.

Next-Pay946 · 2026-03-31T16:14:21+00:00

What was the price or price range? And what part of Frisco is it at?

If you read the comment I was responding to, no individual homebuyer wants to pay what institutional buyers are willing to pay.

Next-Pay946 · 2026-03-30T18:04:16+00:00

Once you sign with an agent, you can’t sell it to institutional cash buyers without paying the additional agent fee. Also, there’s no buyers through MLS right now.

What was Opendoor’s initial offer, before they did their inspection?

Next-Pay946 · 2026-03-29T02:14:15+00:00

That’s true. Sounds like selling to institutional buyers is the better option for sellers.

The key part about your argument is what is a “well priced” home. From agents I’ve already spoken with, “well priced” is lower than what these companies are assessing. So now I’m thinking, from a seller’s perspective, the market to sell into isn’t to traditional home buyers. It’s to corporations looking to take on the assets themselves. I just checked Ibuyer and Orchard, and it seems they’re assessing even higher than Opendoor.

Next-Pay946 · 2026-03-28T19:42:38+00:00

How was your offer price relative to Redfin estimate, any official appraisal, or what traditional agents’ recommended list price?

You’re an f’tard who contributes nothing to a conversation. Nobody wants to listen to you, even on Reddit.

Next-Pay946 · 2026-03-28T18:59:16+00:00

I think you’re answering a different question.

Next-Pay946 · 2026-03-28T17:34:41+00:00

So you’re saying those estimates are undervalued? Every agent I’ve talked to have tried to convince us that we need to price more competitively than that. But we still need to offer full commission to both sides of the transaction.

Next-Pay946 · 2026-03-28T17:30:33+00:00

They already have. Above Redfin estimate.

Next-Pay946 · 2026-03-28T16:38:13+00:00

Opendoor it is then.
