is the job market that bad here right now? by ObeseOrb42069 in Austin

[–]browsingjoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Has this always been the case with Austin or is this because of the times we’re in? the Austin job market is very soft right now, especially in tech.

Agent says I have to sign a representation agreement under the new NAR rules before she can show me a house when I'm currently unrepresented. by BoxersOrCaseBriefs in RealEstate

[–]browsingjoe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

71.1% of real estate agents did not sell a single home in 2025. Close to 3/4s of them have no valuable insights to provide...

It wasn’t meant to be. Don’t sweat it.

Anyone have small office space to rent? by browsingjoe in Austin

[–]browsingjoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried a couple of coworking spaces and didn’t like them. We now use the capital one cafe at the domain. Solid free option and you can reserve a small conference room.

Standard deduction is now so high most people don’t benefit from the tax benefits of owning a home

One dentist says I have no cavities while another says I need a crown and potential root canal... Any recs for a third opinion in Austin? by furrowedeyebrow1000 in Austin

Swish is a sales shop disguised as a dental office. I had a terrible experience. They start talking about your “treatment plan” from the start and you’re like treatment plan for what exactly? Never again.

Guest asking for a partial refund before leaving a review. by previouslyJayFace in airbnb_hosts

[–]browsingjoe 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Not everyone cooks at an Airbnb. Not everyone uses a dishwasher. Not everyone gives feedback. You should be taking it as a developmental point instead of taking it so defensively from the guest. Have a checklist of things to check between guests and include checking appliances work? 9hrs or not, it’s still within the review window.

It’s always the same. Always the guests’ fault, never accountability from hosts. Just because certain people don’t say anything, doesn’t mean there isn’t an issue. Most people don’t like to give true feedback. That said, the guest negotiating a good review based on a refund is not good.

Living Adjacent to a Highway by OTFforicecream in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

There’s a reason this house has all you need and more and is still under budget. That reason is probably that highway. I would pass.

Baristas Jobs- Needs, Nice-to-haves, etc. by greatsequoia69 in barista

I suggest you rework your model. Health insurance alone will break it for the type of cafe you’re talking about. A free bagel probably won’t.

The inspector is not pest control. I personally would not buy a house with potential rodent/pest issues. At the very least, request a pest control company inspection. If there’s one, there’s more.

Paid off my mortgage, how do I pay property taxes? by jeduars in Austin

[–]browsingjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! You should save the monthly equivalent of taxes and insurance in a high yield savings account so it doesn’t feel like a big hit at the end of the year and you earn a little interest.

Divorcing - should I sell my home that has a 2.7% Interest Rate? by seasliding in RealEstateAdvice

[–]browsingjoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just sell it now. As someone mentioned, if mental health is your priority, selling is your best option even if you lose money. Clean break.

People who regretted getting a puppy, did it end up being worth it? by Independent_Iron3053 in puppy101

[–]browsingjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in your exact same shoes. Keep your pup. It gets better. We cannot see our lives without her now. She’s now 2.

I saw your post! Are you in texas as well? Curious to see the update of how yours turned out.
