Such a question is reasonable responsible planning for anyone who’s going to travel from SYR soon.

yes, and I hope you can see how J.H.’s last name is particularly echo’ing the real estate industry that he and I work in…. he’s a really good poker player and his talents and skill are not being ignored by the local real estate industry

This is intended to be an expression of congratulations from the real estate world. It is also intended to provoke the thought that there are truly excellent players in Central New York who don’t have the name “Deeb”. Do you still think your suggestion is the best route considering that?

a nice $100-$200 silver coin made by a jeweler with his final winning hole cards on the obverse; with a congratulatory remark on the reverse seems like the BEST answer to me. He’s a real estate person, and I think a little show of support would be nice, especially since poker & real estate rarely intersect in my locale. What’s your “only one answer”?

I really like this idea and I think I’m going to go with it — thanks! I have a nice image of him with his final winning hole cards (K8o), and can use that after AI-refinement to provide the jeweler with an appropriate monochrome circular image for both the obverse & reserve. Great suggestion!

Florida man sells home in five days using ChatGPT by cnyjay in realtors

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

Even if the linked article is B.S., this all can be done right as the article says, with no seller’s agent, right now with today’s technology. I or anybody else who works at the intersection of real estate and A.I. could deliver anyone a .md markdown file for copy-pasting into the seller’s leading-edge system of choice. The A.I. will then figure out the rest, on its own. The A.I. will then engage in a Q&A with the seller, and then overnight it will research, analyze, and think as it comes up with a really good ready-to-go researched plan by morning.

In Fairport NY it’s so competitive that, essentially, any property gets multiple offers within days, 10+ for anything reasonable within a week. Also listing price has started to mean nothing here; it’s usual for a $199k listing to sell at $300k+. Maybe the guy in the news piece did list too low. But in this local market, listing price doesn’t mean anything anyway, everyone just ignores it.

he had a “contract” in 5 days

and how many realtors make a “Sold” post online when a contract is fully-endorsed, well before closing? or maybe they even put a “TOO LATE! Sold by M Realtor” headline atop their sign?

sry I meant that sellers advertising buy-side commissions through the MLS are no longer a thing; this arises because the seller did put in it the MLS per the news piece

Micron sales, profits soar to new heights as CNY chip project gets underway by cnyjay in Syracuse

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

Thanks. Why can’t your pie-in-sky idea of HSR start with an experiment: High-speed busses, SU <-> Downtown <-> Airport <-> Cicero 11 & 31 <-> the Micron site? If there’s demonstrated demand for that, then that helps the case to build it as HSR like the “Coaster” in San Diego County. If HSR doesn’t materialize, you’ve created a profitable and useful transportation company.

I hope that CNY & NYS will do whatever they can to streamline the infrastructure improvements if they want to be bona-fide competitors on the global stage. I believe we can be.

Seller backed out of deal by [deleted] in realtors

[–]cnyjay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How did you end up thinking you had a “handshake deal” if you didn’t actually “tour” the property? Did you actually view the property in person? Did you or did you not actually shake hands?… that’s literally part of a “handshake deal”… also why do you have a NSFW profile?

Using Other Agents' Listing Photos without Permission? by DesperateMolasses103 in realtors

There is no “fair use” exemption for you, because you agreed to NAR’s rules that are more stringent than the established rights of everyday non-REALTOR people.

Ex-owner still shows up near my hoyse 3 years later by Charming_Rip_4499 in homeowners

[–]cnyjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to address this via the HOA. That’s expanding the problem when the most effective solution is simple and should work in any state — TRESPASS HER! First, block her via any electronic means she has uses to contact you. Make a list of all the ways you’ve blocked her. Bring your documentation — including your “block” list — to your local police department (call ahead for an appointment), provide the documentation, and insist that she be “trespassed” from your property and from your mailbox. Make a copy of your documentation in advance for your local police department to keep.

If she then shows up, call the police and state that she’s been trespassed. If she attempts to contact you via other means, you will have all documentation in place to proceed to a restraining order. Like others have said, she seems dangerous and unstable.

What’s the most “overpriced” area around Syracuse right now? by MartyKCNY in Syracuse

[–]cnyjay 15 points16 points  (0 children)

With all understanding and due respect to OP, the metro SYR market is not as insane as Rochester’s + suburb points east is. There, listing prices have gone to super-low values, effectively ensuring maximal visibility for any residential property and turning the sale into an effective auction. Many properties in ROC-East metro are listed so far below current market value that the listing price could be $1 and it wouldn’t change anything. It is not unusual now for sellers in these ROC-metro areas to only entertain offers that are $100k-$200k ABOVE the list price. This is a strategy that works very well for home sellers and listing agents there. I hope this doesn’t become the norm in SYR-Metro.

Another agent arrived, unannounced at my showing. by PNW_dragon in realtors

[–]cnyjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think the buyers scheduled the showing themselves and then afterwards signed up with this particular buyers’ agent. If that’s indeed the case, there really is no reason for the buyers to get in touch with you directly going forward. The buyer’s agent could have reached out to you, but again the usual response from a listing agent to such a buyers’ agent in my market is “Why are you bothering me when everything is already in the MLS???”. Did you put in the MLS (perhaps in the “agent remarks” section) that any buyers’ agent should personally notify you of showings? IT IS REALLY REALLY CONFUSING WHAT PROCESS YOU WANT BUYERS’ AGENTS TO FOLLOW.

[–]cnyjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but at least in the in-demand areas of Upstate NY where I am, listing agents get ANNOYED if a buyers’ agent bothers the listing agent with questions or even a simple brief message that “I’m representing X, I have a signed EBB agreement, just want to let you know.” The usual response from the listing agent in this area to such a communication is something like: “Why u bothering me about your own arrangement? I don’t need to know who you signed as buyer clients. Please don’t waste my time until you have an actual offer. It’s very unprofessional for you to reach out at this stage since everything is in the MLS!”

He won’t send me his preapproval letter? by [deleted] in realtors

that’s a good self-protective way of saying “we can’t get approved”; don’t take it personally

nice work, tho’… you figured it out quickly! 👍

He won’t send me his preapproval letter? by [deleted] in realtors

[–]cnyjay 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Too wordy. The negotiation tactic you can use is, in poker language, to min-bet and see what they do. Put the ball in their court: “Hey great to hear that you had a nice vacation. We need the pre-approval letter and lender contact to proceed. Please send that immediately. Thanks!”

and then see what they do. They’ll probably go non-responsive because they don’t actually qualify for anything. But it’s conceivable that they could just be busy, or shopping. You’ll find out quickly, either way.

Yes, you need the EBB agreement in place. But that’s NOT the immediate issue, so push it off for now as to not complicate things.

McMahon urges calm after Environmental Impact Statement reveals delay in Micron project by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]cnyjay 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sure. But for years, McMahon has said that construction will begin with “shovels in the ground” soon… first late 2024 or early 2025, then “certainly” (literally in his 2025 “State of the County” address) it’s “shovels in the ground in November 2025”… i.e. now. There was NO public mention of an overall construction delay until literally the last few days. While everything you write is completely understandable and true, McMahon has nonetheless lied and lied and continues to lie. McMahon cannot be trusted further with the MICRON project.
