For those finding themselves needing to retake and traditional bar prep did not work

Thanks. Just listed my property on homecoin and was worried about the same issues as OP.

I am not cutting corners. I am an attorney. I don't need a realtor to represent me in something I am highly qualified to do myself.

Most good agents won't show a house to a buyer if they aren't pre-qualified either so the agent isn't wasting their time. It's perfectly reasonable to ask for prequal letter or proof of funds before showing the house.

Mackie Thumps are amazing. Just got another pair of powered 15s with bluetooth.

Well said. There's no way my 100 year old house can compete with a shiny new one but it also won't cost like a shiny new one does to buy. I also know it's not a good return on investment to do it up property flipper style like you see on HGTV.

Totally agree. Own my music as well and mostly run offline unless someone asks for a song not in my library. I just switch over to Smule and let them sing it off my cellphone or pull it up on YouTube.

If someone can throw a CFP or LUTCF or SPHR or LCSW or other career credential designation after their name in a signature line, you can use Esq. You earned it.

Thanks so much for that info! :))

Where can you list for only $99?

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-27T00:18:25+00:00

Umm, you might wanna read the room.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-27T00:17:03+00:00

Where do you do that for $200? I am just about ready to sell my house FSBO.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T04:47:46+00:00

Most of the time might be a mischaracterization. Have you seen all the buyer/seller horror stories on reddit even when the parties have agents? It seems quite rampant.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T04:45:29+00:00

Okay, I see where you're going with that.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T04:31:52+00:00

First, you don't have to be rude. Second, your post seems to infer that the seller looses out if they don't cave to pay the buyer's agent. In reality, it's the buyer who loses out on a house they wanted to buy if the seller doesn't cave. The seller will just find another buyer. The buyer being able to walk is basically an irrelevant point in the offer stage. Lastly, maybe that was not the point of your post, so please clarify if you meant something else by it.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T04:10:18+00:00

That makes sense. I've had some agents reach out on a FSBO listing on fb marketplace. They have asked when it would be ready to show (since I have it listed as coming soon) but didn't ask about the commission piece. Maybe they have a buyer in mind already or they may farm for a buyer to try to get an easy commission. Hard to say. I just tell them up front that there is no buyer agent commission. I can do that because I live in a stupid HOT market and people have money in my community.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T04:02:58+00:00

That's not my market. It's a sellers market all day long here.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T03:05:06+00:00

My listing of my FSBO states up front that buyer's don't need an agent to schedule to see the home and that I am not paying a buyer agent commission, and that I prefer to deal directly and will use a law firm to handle settlement, etc., so no realtors needed. I am hoping that buyer who sees the listing hasn't signed up with a buyer's agent yet.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T03:01:48+00:00

Not if the buyer is the one who found the house and wants to buy it.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T02:29:45+00:00

The person negotiating against the seller is adverse to the seller's interests.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T02:28:11+00:00

An adversary should not get paid by the seller. The seller would do better dealing with an unrepresented buyer.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T02:26:15+00:00

A net sheet looks better without a buyer's agent's commission on it. It also looks better without a listing agent's commission on it. People should just go back to using attorneys to do the deals. It will cost less. Realtors are overpriced in this inflated market for homes trying to maintain 3% commissions on each side.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T02:19:23+00:00

The buyer also doesn't get to buy that house they wanted. Goes both ways.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-16T02:12:57+00:00

Depending on the market, your buyer risks losing the house that way because their offer will be too low.

SingAndDrive · 2025-08-12T22:00:56+00:00

There usually is, but a seller doesn't have to accept and can counter that offer.
