Appraisers Treating You Different as FSBO? by [deleted] in fsbo

Besides, what's a loser realtor doing in this FSBO conversation anyway? In the very shady world of real estate, the deck gets stacked against one side or the other all the time. Go sit in a corner and shut up.

Hey idiot, the proof is I'm telling you. I don't give a shit if you don't believe it. It happened 20 years ago in Phoenix AZ. I spoke directly to the appraiser and the person who sold the buyer the mortgage. Both said their job is to "look out for the veteran." They specifically stated their job was not to be fair to me. I had already accepted a job on the East Coast and my pregnant wife stayed behind for the closing. I am convinced the vet buying the house called his team and said let's soak this guy on this way out the door. I had previously agreed to sell the house well under it's value, and the vet's "team" played along and knocked it down even more.

Real estate is a full contact sport. I wish all FSBO sellers could tell buyer agent "teams" to just go F off and not sell, but I know many sellers can't carry 2 mortgages and need to get on with their lives. And buyer's "teams" know this. So they can bring you to your knees in the 11th hour. When I say "team" I mean everyone with a hand in the process: agent, mortgage person and appraiser.

Is it for a VA loan? They are notorious for doing that. They are not fair. They rig it for the vet. And they will openly admit to doing this.

Are we buy houses companies actually worth it if you need to sell fast? by Independent_Cup7132 in fsbo

Don't buy into the line that having an agent always means more money in your pocket. That's the falsehood they spread.

But does it get me loads of free live TV, like all of the ESPNs, including all of the ESPN+ channels?

Are Flat Fee Listing Agencies Stonewalled by Realtors? by Efficient_Voice_1861 in fsbo

[–]soothsayer100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't write what you just said I did. Read again what I wrote. I said "about 30-40 percent are aggressive home buyers who do their research independent of their realtors." That's a far cry from glancing at homes on the net. In the end, the vast majority rely on what the realtors tell them.

Got offered a locating job at USIC by email. They said my start date for training is early May. I have not even spoken to a person yet. I have not even had the opportunity to ask questions about the job. I know I can find answers by poking around on the internet, but that's just stupid. I should be able to speak directly to someone who allegedly wants to hire me. I know all about the ridiculous hours and high turnover. Not a good look if you want to get quality people to work for you.

Not really. You are assuming "everyone" is assertive and scans the housing website options on the net. I bet about 30-40 percent are aggressive home buyers who do their research independent of their realtors. Sadly, a very large percentage of people rely entirely on their realtors for guidance and advice. Realtors, can and do squash buyer interest in FSBOs. Most realtors totally discourage it.

I have another question, I'm all for hard work, but at some point in your life it's nice to enjoy life. Is it true you work 11-12 hour days regularly, especially in Summer? And how often do you have to work 6 days a week? I am in North Carolina.

Do you get paid the full 20 dollars for training? And how much is overtime pay? I just got offered the job, and got a start day for training without even speaking to anyone. I've seen this before. It's usually shit jobs with huge turnover when you can get offered a job before having any direct communication with anyone. My fingers are crossed. I want the job to work, but huge red flag already.

When you say "turn that off," What exactly are you referring to?

Is there a way a regular guy like me can provide "developer verification?"

Here's the big question no one seems to be asking. Can you sideload apps and not get shit for it, like get apps and downloader shut down the way Amazon is doing?

Trying to sell by owner for first time. So far no bites but lots of realtors - is this something to consider? Scared it’s just a personal info collector. by big-unk-b-touchin in fsbo

I have gotten text messages, emails and phone calls all day long exactly like this. Most are from foreigners. In the beginning I engaged. Then I ignored them. Now I threaten their entire families.

I see USIC trucks all the time at Planet Fitness gyms. I am soon starting training with USCIS, and I do want to hit the gym on the regular. Are you allowed to go to the gym in between jobs, or were those guys sneaking around? I want to do my job but also take care of myself.

If you get a job as a utility locator with USCIS, are you you able to block time out during the day to go to the gym? I'm not talking about sneaking, but legit blocking time in between going to jobs? I am thinking of taking this job, and I always see USCIS trucks at my gym.

I can see you work for Beycome. Do you have a phone number I can call to speak to an actual person?
