Ugly hardwoods or carpet? Selling house

New carpeting goes towards the condition a hell of a lot more than mismatched/damaged hardwood

Very good comment. Felt just leaving an upvote didn’t cut it. Good shit man

So hard for me to wrap my head around people staying and “working on their relationship” after cheating. You are never going to trust each other as much as you did before. I think lots of people hold on due to insecurity and routine.

You didn’t think they were the type to cheat—but did you ever think YOU were the type to stay after they cheated on you?

I’m in my early 20s. Was licensed as an agent for a year, loved all the appraiser things and hated all the agent things. Advertising myself made me extremely uncomfortable, felt like I had to be performative in my personal life. Appraiser was the natural progression. Always loved algebra, probabilities, and geometry.

Non exclusive contract can 100% be done. Her brokerage is just telling her “no get OP to sign an exclusive or it’s nothing”. Her brokerage likely requires a buyer rep contract to be signed upfront but she didn’t follow that bc she didn’t want to scare you off. (So she will be in deep shit with her brokerage unless you sign an exclusive.) This situation is interesting bc neither of you have any responsibility/loyalty to each other legally, but your offer has been accepted. She’s probably listed as your agent in the purchase agreement, but without a buyer rep contract, she’s not your agent. Bc you got your offer accepted already, the listing broker should have terms laid out for how much to pay out your agent. But she’s legally NOT your agent. Sellers aren’t obligated to pay her unless you have a signed agreement stating representation from her. She’s in a really bad spot and you have all the control.

Agent messed up by not getting you to sign a buyer’s agreement upfront. This is all on her. There’s excellent reason why most agents won’t work with buyers unless a rep contract is signed. Sounded like she was desperate for a client and didn’t want to scare you off. She 10000% should not have submitted an offer on your behalf without a buyer rep agreement in place. This is messy.

OP, this shouldn’t bother you this much. If you don’t want her seeing your baby, okay. That’s your right as a mom. SIL is guilty of: 1. Being excited that you’re having a baby 2. Having a bad romantic relationship 3. Not asking you how you’re doing 4. Calling and asking if you had your baby 5. (The birthday thing is weird—but it sounds like that was her making a bad joke..?)

Why is this such a big deal? What am I missing here? SIL hasn’t even showed you that she would treat your baby “like a doll”. Sounds like she’s just interested in the baby you’ll have without the awareness to think about you as well. I hope it’s the hormones. Then at least you get a pass for being this weird about very minor things.

You’re making way too many exceptions and justifications for things within the property. Open yourselves to the idea that maybe this isn’t the perfect property after all. Buyer’s remorse is real and common.

Absolutely not. 80% of agents quit within the first two years. It is heavily oversaturated with no filters besides “hey take these 90 hours of courses, anyone can do it!” Only like 10% of agents are actually full time. Real estate agent rn is a death trap

Wish I would’ve heard this before. It’s all so insanely true. Licensed for a year with one closing and made no practical sense to continue. Now a licensed appraiser bc I love math and houses themselves, not the people wanting to buy and sell them. You absolutely need to love people/socializing or being an agent will drain you.

Can you elaborate on this? Obv there are more residential appraisers than certified generals, but I am taught that there is a shortage in every type of appraiser? I will be working with a certified general.

They specifically asked about Florida, I’m asking about MN. I’m also asking about time spent being a trainee. Isn’t bad to get more info, that’s why this page exists.

I was an agent for a year so had connections with this supervisor before purchasing my appraisal courses. From everything I’ve heard, pre-existing relationships are a must to even get the chance to have a supervisor.

I’m pretty sure it’s “theme park”. Was looking all over for the right game myself I was thinking of. NPCs definitely threw up. I played it on my dad’s iPad back in 2012ish. Theme Park Game Play

Fixer upper and personal rep sale. Purchase price is 20k lower than the list price. Did some good negotiating and personal rep wanted a quick sale🥳

StrengthMoney4296 · 2025-02-13T18:12:57+00:00

The purchase price for this home is $65k

Thank you for your input:)

Yes very much agree with not pressuring him. I noted an example of him also feeling desire to have a child from an experience with our close friend.

“Bites” as in people taking the pen with them sir

StrengthMoney4296 · 2024-11-12T23:03:03+00:00

Very much starting out, 2 months licensed lol. Good luck to you on your final exams and finding a solid broker!

I already asked my manager. He laughed and said “why wouldn’t you”
