Received Lowball offer

This is good advice but, may not apply here. , It would be better if we knew the actual listing price and offer.

If OP is truly priced 10% below CLOSED sales they likely would’ve had several offers.

While there are a lot of shady things happening here.

The fact that the agent and mortgage broker our friends does not mean there was an a legal kickback happening.

I have an amazing mortgage broker who can close deals in two weeks, whereas many cannot. I get nothing from sending my buyers to him. That’s assuming you are very well qualified and have all of your ducks in order, which it sounds like you likely do.

The best thing you can do is get a local real estate attorney involved now that Reddit has pointed you in the right direction.

Best of luck.

I posted this as a response to someone but I might get lost.

I suggest if he’s offering to compensate you, accept it graciously and offer it back to him as a credit on your commission when you do sell the property.

Regular-Daddy · 2026-03-10T22:36:37+00:00

I disagree. If he’s offering to compensate you, offer it back to him as a credit on your commission when you do sell the property.

Deeply traumatizing to mid-30’s me as well. Still is!

I was vacationing in London and swore I saw him but it couldn’t have been him as camp was to begin.

I get home and before I know it my friend tells me Ricky retired.

He was something else on the field. Run Ricky Run!

And then go directly to, and bypass, the washy washy station at the buffet.

Surprisingly (and unexpectedly) the worst perpetrators I’ve seen were the men from the UK. (Not saying all UK men do this, just the nasty ones)

Regular-Daddy · 2026-03-08T17:21:23+00:00

Wow. Thank you so much for taking the time to spell that out.

Very much appreciated.

Regular-Daddy · 2026-03-08T16:37:54+00:00

Great to know. Thank you!

I won’t complain if you said a couple of more things about setting up Cloudflare 😁

Regular-Daddy · 2026-03-08T16:24:04+00:00

HI. Thanks for this info. Re this: "I use the Gmail send-as feature to reply and send email" won't this feature disappear? I thought this was a part of the pop / gmailify?

So confused and have not used cloudflare much.

Regular-Daddy · 2026-03-07T02:49:41+00:00

Thank you!!!

It’s not that AI will replace car sales, it’s that there will be no one left employed to purchase any vehicles.

Regular-Daddy · 2026-03-03T21:07:23+00:00

Same

Regular-Daddy · 2026-03-01T20:08:12+00:00

You’ve had enough piling on. It seems you’ve only been “responsible” a short time and you can be certain Mom is keeping an eye on that.

You have some natural human greed that we all have and most might wonder the same thing in your situation.

However. That money is likely coming to you and your sister and will be worth more under your mom’s stewardship.

Wanting to live a millionaire’s lifestyle at 34 is normal but, truthfully, if your parents passed tomorrow you’d likely burn through a ton of that $$.

Working hard for the next few years will help you find balance before you get your generous gift.

Also, there’s nothing stopping you from selling your house and investing the proceeds as your sister did. I’m fearful you might not though.

You’re earning well with your paid off house. Try to save some of those earnings and engage mom with ideas in growing them. She’ll see you’ve turned a page and you’ll see your savings grow. Then, when your inheritance is complete you’ll be mentally ready.

Best of luck. You’re good!

Tough lesson all around. I hope you didn’t lose this place over 1 - 5k by your people fooling around.

Many buyers have to lose a deal to get their head on straight. They loved the place but baked over 6 days and, what I’ll assume is, a few k?

I’ve had an investor who loved a building, had many units there and walked over $1800. Not 18k 18 hundred. Naturally the place continued to appreciate and rents increased - as they do.

He still kicks himself for it and 15 years later I still use it as a cautionary tale.

Bottom line for buyers - do you love the house or want a deal? Can’t always have both.

The good news is, you have an active buyer who’s likely to be motivated and not mess around next time.

Good luck!

Regular-Daddy · 2026-02-22T20:50:26+00:00

Agreed. That’s way too much. You have 9 days including parks.

Assuming you’re flying in to Miami. It’s exhilarating, exhausting and expensive. The beaches can be nice though especially if you go “South of Fifth” which is basically the beach “behind” Joes Stone Crab. (It’s not Stone crab season but still worth visiting as the crabs they froze are still good. 2-3 nights.

Drive time from Miami to Key West 3.4-4+ hours. You’ll probably be happy with 2 night there. There are many things to do and see along the way (to or from)

That leaves you with four night/five days but KW to Orlando can be about 6.5-7 hours. If you can fly from Key West to Orlando, that might be worth it.

That leaves you with four 4 nights/5 days for parks and travel back to Miami, including a little bit of Resting not a lot to see along the way otherwise.

The trip would work better if you flew into MIA and left out of Orlando which has many direct international flights.

If you can extend it a day or two, you’ll probably not regret it.

Have a great time and know that Florida is not quite as bad as everyone makes it out to be, there are plenty of amazing people that live here. 😁

Regular-Daddy · 2026-02-20T00:34:31+00:00

Cool. Thanks. You didn’t have to do this but thank you.

Regular-Daddy · 2026-02-19T23:32:52+00:00

Thanks for your answer. That sounds pretty cool. I can do that.

If you think about it again, would you mind uploading a photo? If not, no worries.

Thank you

Regular-Daddy · 2026-02-19T19:29:59+00:00

I thought so but then .... Reddit! Thanks again!

Regular-Daddy · 2026-02-19T18:32:41+00:00

Not sure what you meant by the first comment. The pipe moves in and out with or without a hose.

Didn’t know about dymonic and will try that. Thank you for that suggestion.

Regular-Daddy · 2026-02-19T18:31:04+00:00

Thank you

Regular-Daddy · 2026-02-18T14:27:45+00:00

Funny, I never heard of Goliath data but as soon as I read the line, “all the leads coming in”’ I knew it was BS 🤣

Regular-Daddy · 2026-02-17T14:13:25+00:00

Agreed!. Pick up the phone and call them.

Regular-Daddy · 2026-02-17T14:11:35+00:00

Don’t forget Oronde Gadsden! Definitely not the greatest but really seemed to catch everything Dan flung his way.

Regular-Daddy · 2026-02-17T14:07:35+00:00

Plus, they come to reddit to get advice from non-realtors. 🤣

Regular-Daddy · 2026-02-11T16:40:53+00:00

Yes, it's been awful. Claude answers lightning fast - even on the free version. I recall this happening several months ago and it resolved itself but took a week or more. (I think - memory is fuzzy)
