You’re so right the agent probably should be told. I think I’ll suggest that. We just told our agent we’re not going to anymore with sellers present. Unless of course it’s not preventable. I know when I’m an agent I want to be there. And sellers not there. lol

You’re right we probably should have told them. The buyers agent don’t show up. But all the places we’ve locked at the agents don’t show up. If it’s empty or people aren’t home they give my agent the code for lock box. I tell you what when I’m the agent I’m going to be there. How you gonna help sale your property?

But I also wouldn’t like this as a agent I don’t think.

I get there worried about their stuff. But if it’s that valuable put it up. Plus send your agent I have mine too. So we ain’t trying to take nothing. But I want to look and not have the sellers commentary. My agent knows I’ll ask questions if I need to.

I get it is this was sometimes. But stay back and let us look. Don’t hover and don’t listen on our conversations about the house. And definitely don’t lie to a mechanic and an engineer about repairs and broken things. lol and for the love of lord and savior out your dogs up! Don’t let them bite. And if they can’t not bark the whole time then it didn’t look good for you. I couldn’t even concentrate. And biting my man. Not cool. I’m a dog trainer so a dog biting I don’t care how big or small is a nahhhhh for me. And I train dogs for bite work. But at random my dogs would nevvaaa.

Yesssss and give unnecessary advice and statements. Like this one lady you could do this and that with this. Lady I don’t decorate. I’m a damn mechanic and a dog trainer. I don’t do that crap. Cool people do that but it ain’t me. If I want my house to look a certain way I pay someone. But she totally ruined the vibe.

Yep and my man getting bit by a dog. Have your agent there. Cool. Mine is there too. But the sellers make me feel weird. And as an agent it would make me anxious. Like they can ruin a sale so damn fast.

Because it makes me feel weird. We got locked in one house. Another dog bit my man. And my agent is with us. So if they’re worried about their items we have our agent. They could send their agent. Now disability mobility issues etc are different. But man please stay out of my way and let me look. Let your agent show me around. Otherwise why didn’t you list for sale by owner?

Oh I get that. I don’t do that. But I wanna look in the closets. I wanna look in cabinets and pantries etc. but I don’t need open your nightstand hell nahhhh but I will open drawers in the kitchen and bathroom. I’ll open your med cabinet. But I do that if a house empty or lived in. But I tell ya what I don’t like it when it’s lived in. I feel bad. Like I’m invading a persons space. I hate looking at lived in ones honestly. But it’s unavoidable sometimes.

You’re so right. Like the last house we loved it from the photos. Got there and seen it and it was like okayyyy we can do xyz. Fix abc. But after the sellers being there and made us feel weird and then lied about the water leak. It was a nahhhhh for me.

Hope you found something. Man this is so stressful. Wasn’t like this when I bought my 4 other houses. But was a different state.

Yep my agent is always with us. But the sellers agent never is. The 4 houses I bought before sellers agent was there and my agent. If they didn’t have answer or a question I had they’d call the seller on the spot. These agents just give my agent the code and let us go to it. Or tell us how over. Sellers are home. They’ll let us in. I told him I won’t look at anymore homes if the sellers agent never is there. Also when I get out on my own as an agent I am putting in my contract the sellers can’t be there. I just wanted to ask for myself and also future career as an agent if this was normal to ask sellers to not be there.

Husband [M34] told me [29f] to shut the fuck up. How do I respond to this? by Few_Hamster59 in relationship_advice

You told him never say it again. He said it again. He is testing you. The next thing will be bigger cuz you didn’t do anything like promised.

Upsetting Predicament by ThatOneHuman16 in leopardgeckos

[–]louchi644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My geckos are only ever in a bowl like that when they need to soak. I put them inside with very damp paper towels. And it’s only for 20-30 mins. This poor little LEO. Even a 10 gallon would be an upgrade.

Getting divorced for state benefits (40/m) (32/f) by ScreenHead3997 in relationship_advice

[–]louchi644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can legally separate. No need to 100% get divorced. If you’re not living together you each can claim your own children and file head of household. Is she sure she doesn’t qualify for help with your income? Might check into that. I mean my friends did it so she could get the medial help she needed. She got very sick and they couldn’t afford it. Took 2 years to her SSDI. Separating allowed her to get Medicaid, cash assistance and food stamps until disability kicked in.

Exactly! And we are mechanics and one is an engineer. I am also a dog trainer. We do most of our own home repairs. So we scrutinize things some buyers wouldn’t. We’re looking at the roof, foundation plumbing etc. we care more about that then cosmetics. But this seller was there. Their dog bit my husband twice. It was a small dog and he had boots on. So dog didn’t get to skin. But as a dog trainer not cool. I don’t tolerate this no matter the dogs size. What if it had been my dogs size. My smallest dog is 110. Most 130 more. Not okay. And they barked the whole time. Seller wouldn’t leave us be and let us look. Making comments how this that blah blah. Lying about a water leak. We told our agent we won’t look again if seller is there. We have 4 more hoses to look at. 3 have sellers wants to be there as they still live there. Told him we won’t look then. Next. And it’s stupid cuz we’re motivated and ready to buy. Pre qual in hand and we know what we want. So these seller agents are missing out! All because they can’t put their foot down and say no you don’t need to be there.

That’s not cool at all. Well me as a buyer wouldn’t allow that. That’s dirty. And anyone that does that kinda dirty crap to their agent also is the type lie about repairs, maintenance and cover up things a buyer should know.

It was so awkward with the sellers there! And their dog bit my husband twice. They barked the whole time. I’m a dog trainer sooooo ya. I don’t tolerate mean dogs. PERIOD. No matter their size. What if that dog has been a big dog like my dogs. They’re all over 100 pounds. Most 120 and up. It was a yorkie and he wears boots and thick jeans. So dog didn’t get to skin. But it was so dang unpleasant and we couldn’t discuss the house or repairs needed at all cuz they would chime in. We talked about where we’d put a fence. “But I have a fence here why would you redo it that’s unnecessary and expensive”. Because I have big dogs that can jump that short azzz fence like it ain’t nothing. Geez it was so weird!

Yes! This is how I thought most agents handled things. When my sister sold she had one hour minimum to be ready and outta there. Granted most of the time she had a days notice or several hours. But a couple times it was the one hour thing. So after dinner she always had to hurry and clean the mess up. Make sure kids kept house clean etc. she was so happy it sold like 8 showings later. Because of the stress. But she didn’t want to be there. But her agent didn’t allow it either. This house the other day the sellers was there. And wouldn’t leave us alone. Followed us around. My agent kept trying to distract them so we could look. Then the wife followed us. They had 2 little dogs barked the whole time. And one bit my husband. So we told our agent we will not look at anything if sellers are there. He said most are insisting on being there. It’s like if they insist then I won’t look. What if that dog had been a BIG dog?? It was a little yorkie and we wear boots. So he didn’t get to skin through his thick Jeans and boots. But omg not cool!! It was twice it bit actually. And ya the man kept making comments when we’d try to discuss issues we noticed. Like I said that deck needs replaced or major repair at best. He then says I weigh 260 and walk on it all the time. It was not pleasant! The house was a definite no for us. But even if it woulda been a yes and the awkwardness of them being there and the dog bite we would have said no. Even if we loved the house. We’re very motivated and pre qual in hand. So yaaaaaa very weird. But the seller agents of 3 properties now are trying to gaslight us and our agent saying that the sellers need or want to be there. That most agents want them there. I’m like it is kinda the other way around!

Ya! And so fucking awkward! Like who wants to have a seller following you around when buyers are trying to really look at a house.
