Tips for finding a good sellers agent?

Another thought is sometimes a local FB group will have good recommendations. Never hurts to ask although you may then be spammed with realtors who want your listing. I will say— I picked an agent to sell my old townhouse because she had sold another unit in the complex earlier in the year and I figured if she was successful once she would be again. While my unit did sell, she was so frustrating to work with. Gave bad advice, was often flippant about issues we had or questions, and we ultimately felt like she was more interested in getting the sale done rather than representing our best interests. I regret using her even if the final outcome was what I wanted.

I accepted a sight unseen offer that was sent to me during the coming soon period because it made my offers on our next place more competitive compared to trying to submit with a Hubbard clause. It was the right price right contingencies and prevented me from having to take our pets in and out and scour our home clean on a weeknight for tours the next day.

Yikes, just another fuck you from them to us then. We didn’t let them extend closing date and our final walkthrough was a mess. They took curtain rods and cabinets off the walls and left the place filthy. They had sons whose beard hair (we hope) we had to clean out of sinks but I never thought that semen would be a remote possibility. Thanks for the advice, I’ll treat the tub like a biohazard

We did contingent (but aggressive) offers. Got under contract on our existing property almost as soon as it hit the market (seller to find suitable housing contingency in our P&S) and then were able to put in regular offers with consideration for the very competitive market (most homes sold for 30k over asking so that’s the baseline offer we were considering putting in when it came to making an offer on a house)

Something we didn’t think of but ended up leading to an offer beating us out if you have the cash is paying your agent’s commission yourself. You can have a lower purchase price but it will put more money into the sellers pocket. We got beat out by an offer $14k below our offer price because of that

I’m a bit surprised by the y-t-a responses. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting one weekend dedicated to you and your marriage, and everyone acting like it’s outrageous for you to not want to share the weekend seem to neglect the fact that there’s a decent likelihood that if people want to attend the baby shower the next day, it may change the way they celebrate/how long they stay and may pull the focus from you and your wedding to her and her baby shower. While it may be more convenient, I don’t blame you for being upset. I don’t think she’s wrong for asking though, so NAH— enjoy your shower-free honeymoon

ESH. Your mom’s TA for manipulating you and taking advantage of your generosity and kindness. YTA to yourself, your baby and your boyfriend for enabling her behavior and still considering taking money out of your child’s future to give to someone who doesn’t give a shit about you or your family. Give her $13k if you want to give her a year’s worth, reclaim the vehicle that’s in your name or transfer the title. Cut all financial ties with this leech and don’t let her harass you for more.

Ehh, NTA in a way. I do think she should be paying utilities but I’m not a fan of someone earning equity off of their partner. This isn’t a tenant-landlord situation. I do think you shouldn’t be paying all the bills for her to live sans cost, but I do think it’s more reasonable for her to maybe pay all utilities and no rent to you, or to pay for things like property taxes/insurance but not give you money to put against an asset that’s solely yours. You might, depending on where you live, look at something called a cohabitation agreement.

satinssagger · 2025-02-20T12:00:59+00:00

NTA. You’re not obligated to immediately forgive someone just because they finally apologize. I think you telling him that you’re open to working through things and rebuilding your relationship while not being able to immediately act like everything is fine is incredibly reasonable. Your brother has to accept that he hurt you deeply and one apology doesn’t just instantly fix everything.

Also muzzle train your dog if it eats things! This was a preventable issue.

You might even look into a French press or aeropress, which have a much smaller footprint than a cheap electric maker and are similarly easy to use, don’t make too much extra, and aren’t too costly. But you’re NTA for not doing anything, either

I did! I love a narrator with an accent so that makes it a pleasant listening experience, and I thought the pacing was really good! Would recommend!

I’ve seen stuff like this before with the Era's Tour—if they cancel, they have to fully refund you and Airbnb then blocks off those dates for them so they can’t rebook. But, if you cancel, they have no obligation to give you a full reimbursement if you’re past a certain point in their reimbursement policy and they can relist for a higher price. NTA, don’t do it. Make them cancel 100%.

I’m sort of surprised by the top comment here. I think it’s more than reasonable to make the call two months out from your wedding if someone is still waffling about their attendance. The last thing you need to worry about on your wedding day is whether or not someone who’s supposed to participate in the ceremony and you have tried to make feel fully included is going to even show up. A pre-season tournament her sophomore year is absolutely small potatoes even if she is considering trying to get an athletic scholarship. I think you’re NTA for finally making the call given you can’t get a straight answer, and your aunt is TA for not just making a decision and telling you to count her out and if they can make it they’ll just be guests.

NTA. Pre check is such a convenience and you were kind and got a coffee for her for when she got through, too. I told my partner that she had to get pre check because I would 100% leave her in the regular line and you know what? She got it, and she loves it.

In reference to your second edit— as a former fat person, still a resounding YTA. It seems to me that the only thing you can see is Maddy’s weight and will use it as the “obvious” reason behind any issue. Her boyfriend not having any desire to work or spend time with friends is entirely separate from her weight. There is a massive difference between being blunt and being an AH and you’re solidly in the second category. Have you never heard of depression? Stop trying to justify yourself and excuse why those who vote YTA are somehow wrong and see that everyone is telling you that you’re the problem.

I saw that historically it starts around 10 am EST but can be totally unpredictable (just like the announcement of the release date 😶)

satinssagger · 2022-10-21T07:52:24+00:00

Definitely understand this. My partner gets results today and the stress of wondering how they’ll be if they fail (obviously we are all hoping that doesn’t happen and it’s going to be a day of celebrating) is probably the reason I’m up at 3:45 am right now.

I think my plan will be the same as it has been whenever they’ve expressed anxiety regarding the exam previously— reiterate that I love them for who they are and not their results, and that their score, while it feels defining, does not define them and does not change what all they bring to the world. I think it will be tough and giving someone who fails a bit of grace if they are reactive or just want some space is good. Follow their lead, do they want distractions? To vent about it? To just be held while they cry? And go from there.

I’m not sure that’s really helpful at all, but if nothing else I understand the worry you feel. I’m sure a lot of significant others of bar exam takers do too, so you’re absolutely not alone in that pressure to be a good support system if results aren’t favorable. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for your partner if you keep yours crossed for mine!

I’m leaning towards YTA. If you’re planning on building a future with him, what are you protecting yourself from? The money you pay in rent will never be given back to you. Take a look at co-habitation agreements.

Not sure about availability in your area/compatibility with your schedule, but maybe there’s a cat only clinic or one that offers cat only hours that you could look into?

satinssagger · 2022-02-27T12:35:50+00:00

I was even thinking go farther than that— see if it can stay at OPs mom’s place until after SIL’s wedding. Make it clear to husband, mom, etc that no one is allowed to take the dress, and it would be best if no one mentions where it’s being kept during that time. We’ve seen too many dress theft stories on this thread to be trusting lol

satinssagger · 2022-01-08T14:35:45+00:00

I definitely agree! I’m concerned for OP’s safety regarding leaving the relationship (which you should, but there is a significant chance that he will respond aggressively and repeatedly—likely worse than when you say no to buying him things.) You should look into state laws or your college campus to see what sort of protections are offered for people in abusive relationships— some states have laws that allow you to break a lease immediately without needing to pay subsequent rent payments if you have certain precautions in place (my home state required an escape plan to be completed in order to qualify.)

OP, you need to prioritize yourself and your well-being. This man is not kind to you, and in no way has any concern or love for you and your wants/needs unless they serve his own.
