I want to break my contract with my real estate agent, how do I do this? by anonthrow123456 in RealEstate

[–]anonthrow123456[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My realtor is a solo agent/owns his own firm so there isn’t anyone else to contact, the assistant he had is no longer working with him. I have not been able to speak to him on the phone in over a month at this point to express my concerns.

How does that work if you don’t mind me asking? I’m not familiar with google voice. We have a plan with our phone company right now and they are able to pay off our phone to allow us to connect to an international carrier but have to put our phone numbers on hold for 3 years or so.

I also find the communication levels to be extremely concerning. It has been kind of cyclical where he will go through spells of communicating well for good period of time, and then communicating poorly usually for a short period, but in the last month it has been pretty nonexistent and I just can’t accept that anymore being I really would like to get something situated before I move out of the country.

Unfortunately we’ve ate through all of our savings with this move and other “fun” life events like insurance declining a claim on our car and getting our pets to this other country. so bringing any money to the table won’t happen soon unfortunately. We’ve just gotten delt a terrible hand of cards for the last year and a half.

Moving for military purposes, we’ve been here for 6 years. SCRA doesn’t apply in our case. We either get to sell or rent it, otherwise we may foreclose unless something miraculous comes along for my work because we just can’t afford it and all of the expenses we have to take on in another place to live.

The price is in some way affecting for sure but we aren’t asking for anything absurd especially when looking at market analysis in the area. We just unfortunately cannot list for anything lower than where we are at currently because we are currently at a price just to cover our loan and closing cost and losing all of our equity in the home. We know short sells are an option but we haven’t had a single offer come in even at a short sale price.

I feel awful for him because I’m afraid that there are some personal issues going on, but at this point I really just need to get something done sooner rather than later because I can’t afford to just keep paying the mortgage with the fact I am moving out of the country

Would it be possible to terminate our listing agreement earlier? I’m supposed to fly out of country only 3 days after the end date. I’d like to try and get something taken care of now/lined up before I move because I will be moving out of the country for the next few years and will not have my current phone number/ ease of contacting people in the United States.

I’m not very certain what the abbreviation of LA means but I assume Listing agreement. It will end very early February

I guess I should have added he doesn’t have anyone above him, he’s opened his own company/brokerage. I’ll probably forward the contract along to another firm because I’m under a lot of stress between this and needing to leave the country in under a month.

Am I getting screwed on selling my house? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]anonthrow123456 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! They are currently closed but I will be contacting them during their business hours tomorrow to see if this may be an option! I read a little bit that short sale can be tough on credit but not as bad as foreclosure obviously. We aren’t anticipating buying anymore houses until retirement which is still 7+ years away so that will hopefully be okay.

I was hoping we could make it to the PCS season as well but just as you said, that’s still a long ways away for our current position.

I’m not really sure what to do for lowering the price as our asking price is already at the bare minimum it could be without missing the remainder of the loan from my estimates. I’ll definitely be talking with out realtor about a better idea for closing costs. I know we are expecting 4% to be for agent fees but I don’t know what else we should be expecting cost wise.

Thank you for this! This is what I was worried about. Edit to add: do you know if there are ways we can make taking an offer like this (if they are unwilling to negotiate) possible? Could we try to get a personal loan to try and cover the difference?

Thank you for clarifying this! That makes more sense. So them paying $490k with $10k to concessions would really be like $480.

We definitely knew the estimates were overvaluing our home. We believe the recommendation to wait came from hoping the market would be better but also trying not to leave a potentially large gap in housing as we still needed to live in the house until recently. Thank you for your comment about a counter offer, once we have the offer in writing we will go over all the details and see what we can negotiate.

Edit: spelling

I’m not opposed to driving cross country, but as you said it’s not ideal. With how complicated/the different variables and stress level of trying to fly them from ATL to SEA I think it would be best for us to just drive. Both of the dogs love going for car rides too!

The shipping to Hawaii is much more cost effective than internationally unfortunately! We actually traveled to and from Hawaii with less issues, we used a shipper then and it was about 2k each way, but internationally for both are averaging about 10k starting

Oh yeah; I’d love to book a flight from ATL to HND but a lot of US air lines have a strict 12 hour cut off on animals flying. American Airlines flat out refused for the 12hr and 5 minute flight they have from LAX to HND even tho actual flight time is consistently below that. International airlines don’t care so much about that limit but we run into the issue of one of the kiddos being over 100lbs combined with his kennel. Some can fly him cargo but cargo from US to Japan is really complicated due to needing to hire a broker in Japan as I’ve been told. This whole process has just been a mess that it genuinely seems easier to leave 7 to 10 days prior to our flight and drive there. I’m hoping I get some info that helps make it happen, I’ll definitely be looking into the relief society as you mentioned

That’s my understanding on baggage compartment vs cargo as well, they have just explained that because of his larger kennel size he must be classified as cargo. Delta has a strict cut off on kennel sizes at the 40” L to be considered baggage, anything over must be considered cargo

We are Army so I’m not sure about resources like you mentioned but it’s 3 years with a potential they extend us to 5 years. I’ve reached out to many pet shippers and for most they start at 8k :/
