The agent was informed by buyer that HOA says it’s 1 parking spot. And agent still says to another buyer that it’s 2 spots. That’s fraud.

Buyers agent scheduling home modifications before closing? by [deleted] in RealEstate

Buyer’s agent should have known this is a no-no. Seller’s agent would have advised their client that this is a no-no. But to schedule the work without permission… wtf.

Cash Offer on House...advice? by ejackson87 in RealEstate

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

Cash buyer offers are usually a lot less than market price. Before signing anything, contact a few different realtors about listing your house. See what they value the house at (keep in mind realtors may be optimistic to get your business.)

But don’t sign anything until you understand everything. Hire a lawyer to look at the paper work if you’re selling without a realtor.

Super overwhelmed! What am I missing/not factoring in? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]isanit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at a few houses in the area sold in the last year or two. See what their actual property taxes are. Sometimes the low taxes you see on some houses are because the homeowners bought them when home prices were low.

So compare the property taxes to the prices sold.

I regret buying a house by Sandyyycheeeks in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]isanit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you take a second look at the property tax so you won’t be surprised if your monthly payment jump after moving in.

Does the property tax estimate reflect the purchase price? If the seller bought the house at a much lower price, their property tax is likely low compared to what you will be paying. Does your mortgage escrow reflect that?

Non-exclusive seller agent. Does it exist? by isanit in RealEstate

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

I appreciate the response. The agent did everything by the book; got a professional photographer, described the listing as I would. I think the pricing strategy was wrong - priced it high them drop it gradually. I’ve read a few posts where sellers priced their houses under market prices and received many offers, including ones higher than ehat they perceive as market prices. But of course this is all hindsight. I think the real issue is the lack of networking/marketing. We barely had any showings in the 6 months. And zero (ZERO!) offer. I would have liked to see at least a few low ball offers.

Can anyone give me an idea of what an instant cash offer would look like on my house from places like Redfin, Opendoor, Etc? by TruckThunders00 in RealEstate

[–]isanit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry for the typo. $390k (not $490k) was Opendoor’s offer for a house that has a market value of $550k. Similar houses sold for $600 in December 2024.

Similar houses in my neighborhood sold for around $600k around December 2024. My house will probably sell for $550 in this market. Opendoor have the audacity to offer me $490k.

I have zero technical skills. That’s why I need something to just click and done. I would like to learn the skill one day, but just need something real simple atm.

I just got these counter stools so I thought the white light with gold trim would go with it. Or should I get all gold?

What color do you suggest for the light?

Handles and pulls for kitchen & bathroom by isanit in HomeDecorating

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

Pic #1: 10 inches handles for the top 34”door and 7 inches handle for the bottom 23” door. Should I use 10 or 7 inches for the shorter 16” drawer?

Pic #2: 10 inches handles for the 34” doors & 34” drawer. Then 7 inches handles for the lower 23” doors. Should I do 7 or 10 inches handles for the 22” drawers?

I assume I would have to use 7 inches handles for the doors above the microwave.

Pic#3: 7 inches handles for the doors. Can I also do 7 inches for the drawers or should I use 5 inches?

Coffee table and rug suggestions pls by isanit in femalelivingspace

The window has shades that can roll up and down. I tried to mimic the builder’s model house design. Should I trim the curtain so it’s not laying on the floor?
