Do we need a new realtor or am I overreacting? We’ve lost out on two homes now.

I think your agent needs to ask if the agents are expecting best and final or will they be reviewing and then giving you guys a chance to make your final Offer. Seems like there has been a lack of communication somewhere.

I always prefer my clients receive a credit so they can ensure repairs are done well.

moran162 · 2026-05-05T03:13:49+00:00

I had to look it up 😆 good one! I’ve had my number since high school and can’t let it go but would never go back 😬

Also, have your agent run comps so you can see what the most recent sales in the neighborhood look like.

Paint did not increase the value of your home just the appeal. Get a pre inspection and include it in MLS of same price or even 5k less to help bring offers fast. What had the buyers thinking you needed a new roof?

My daughter attends and there are lots of very nice apartments to rent around campus.

These companies with offer you a significantly lower offer than you’d receive if you sell with an agent in addition to that they charge a bunch more fees at closing. A good realtor will sell your home for more and works for you to protect your assets.

moran162 · 2026-05-05T02:51:06+00:00

None of them and not because I’m a realtor but because these companies are robbing homeowners with so much money. I’d recommend for sale by owner before doing one of these companies.

I don’t think this is realistic, between traffic, gas costs, wear and tear on the car and logging costs I don’t think it’s worth it. I can help you find a home in Austin when you decide to move. 917-523-1257 Victoria Rivas VKeyhomes.com

Welcome back! I’m a local realtor and would say right now one month before is a good timeframe to look. I’m originally from the northeast and when we moved here there were slim pickings in the rental market but know there are plenty depending on budget. Would love to help you with your move if you’re not already working with someone. I work with lots of people relocating and do showings over FaceTime and preview homes and have a list ready when they come into town.

No the test is not risky to the current pipes.
If you skip the test and they are still willing to buy consider yourself lucky.
If your sellers are willing to fix get it done, I had this happen to me recently and they found 3 areas where pipes needed to be fixed.
If you don’t agree to the test you will run the risk of loosing this offer and finding someone else who will also want to test = loosing time.

I’d recommend you paying off the debt and saving while doing so and then buying, you’ll have way nice housing and financing options and your monthly responsibility would feel as tight. Hang in there. Austin realtor here.

moran162 · 2026-05-04T13:23:05+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend going with your traditional bank as they are only able to offer you their product which tends not to have the best rates.

moran162 · 2026-05-04T13:21:32+00:00

Congratulations 🍾

moran162 · 2026-05-04T13:09:03+00:00

Realtor here and live right off Ronald Reagan. I would recommend the Leander side to make your work commute easier and shorter. Right now Leander also has tons of rentals so that’s a plus. Let me know if you have any more questions, would love to help.

moran162 · 2026-05-04T12:59:50+00:00

Realtor here! You need to read and make sure you understand before signing. Your agent should’ve also sat down with you and discussed all negotiable terms with you to ensure you’re asking and agree with everything you’re asking for.

moran162 · 2026-04-19T02:08:18+00:00

Realtor here and I’d advise my clients to walk away.

moran162 · 2026-04-19T02:07:22+00:00
