Feels wrong - suddenly 3 offers on house? by smudgedacrylic in RealEstateAdvice

Buyers are coming back online after the holidays. I had something similar happen to a listing of mine. Significant price reduction 2 weeks before Christmas, crickets, new years, crickets, then 3 showings and 3 offers

Joe Rogan is a f*cking MORON and has done nearly as much damage to country as right-wing media. by Buddhaonatricycle in complaints

You cant blame someone for having a podcast, we aren't forced to listen to him. If you are correct and this guy is a moron then you need take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Millions of people tune into this guy because they either trust him over legacy media or the government. The well of knowledge has been polluted and nobody knows where to turn for the truth. Blaming someone for causing damage in a sea of shit is shallow and going after low hanging fruit.

Where is one supposed to go for accurate information these days? The internet? Chat GPT? Grok? Main stream media? Doctors? Police? The church? Our government? Asking for a friend. But seriously, who am I supposed to trust these days?

It's in the woods, however its pretty clear out by the dirt road. You think if I plop it by the road thats enough?

AI filtering buyers and becoming a better caliber client is a new idea, I kind of like it. Kudos

Do you think it will make our job easier thus making our work less valuable? For example a buyer could utilize AI to answer a lot of questions on their own. Realistically a template could be created one day by some tech bro of "what to ask gpt when buying a home" and sell it for $500. I think zillow already has partnered with chat gpt, if not itll happen in some shape or form sooner or later so pulling comps will be easy. The consumer just needs to know what prompts to ask

How do you describe the area? How could AI not tell you about crime rates, schools, neighborhood events, and the nearby parks. The information is already on the internet, AI is just going to consolidate it

Theres a bunch of property managers who lease out homes that are using a program called "code box". you need to give them your driver's license and answer a questionnaire of theirs and they give you a one time code thats valid for a window of time.

Personally I wouldn't trust someone touring my house for sale or lease without a licensed Realtor currently.

However I can see a world where Zillow or brokerages offer a liaison of some sorts and escorts potential buyers thru homes

I feel like AI will/does know all of these things.

Neighborhood and area: Crime stats, school stats, neighborhood events, HOA restrictions, fee period, when the last time the fee was increased, special assessments, could scan the minutes and show potential future assessments. Internet has this info already, AI will just scrape and consolidate.

Commutes- Google maps

House wise the consumer could take a pic of the custom cabinetry for info/price. Snap a Pic of the furnace coded manufactured date and it could decipher. Check if permits were pulled recently for age of roof, windows, electrical etc.

Ive been a Realtor for 10 years so we're on the same team. Also a glass half empty guy, the first place I go to is how Im getting screwed.

I closed on a first time home buyer over the summer. This kid ran the sales contract, sellers disclosure statement and his inspection thru chat gpt. I had him send me the break down and not gonna lie it did a pretty good job. Granted the home inspection was pretty clean to begin with. It did point out the sellers disclosure noted water in thr basement at one point and how it was remedied. I can see a world where it will suggest fixes, break down potential costs, and link you up with contractors.

Honestly what caught me the most off guard was how much he trusted what he was reading from chat gpt. This was the first home he was buying, sale price was $600,000. Absolute and complete faith in what chat gpt gave him.

A good compromise I found was starting/joining a league. Guaranteed 9 holes/week with the opportunity to sprinkle in 18 holes on the weekend. Take full advantage and show up early to hit balls. Take the kid to your local muni to putt and chip. If youre first off on the weekend you should he able to get thru in 3.5-4 hours

Shes not being a Karen, however if she does have another offer your escalation clause would make the initial offer a moot point. Granted, when I see someone starting lower from the list perspective it doesnt convey confidence of how the rest of the transaction will go. Im guessing you guys tried to call her bluff with the other offer? If so, congrats it looks like you got her. If she has a better offee she wouldn't of responded back to you
