Real Estate

Does any one have any ideas how to find an owner who wants to sell a home w/ out using a realestate agent?
We have plenty of time to find our "perfect home" in Carle Place.
On the other hand – what does a r/a do for the home buyer?
i’ve been checking all the listing on the fsbo and a like – i understand that the agent works for the seller not the buyer, i want to know what do agents do for the buyer… if anything?

Do a search online for "for sale by owner." There are numerous sites such as buyowner.com fsbo.com help-u-sell.com which sell by owner or combine MLS listings with lower fees. I agree that the realtor does little for the buyer and costs a lot of money in today’s market. Of course, you are going to get a lot of comments from realtors that you do not pay for it etc. Of course the cost of selling is reflected in the price of the house.

do anyone faced any problems regarding documentation or ownership issues, pls tell if any bad experiance or good experiance any thing.

you can search business name who is registered in your local area.

We are planning to buy our first home and are confused as to the getting approved for loan process. So we were wondering if the realtor can help us with that.

Thanks!

The Realtor can help by suggesting specific lenders or mortgage brokers. Typically, they’re ones who are professional and can get the deals through. However, the Realtor really can’t "help [you] to get approved."

Realtors like for you to be preapproved before they start working with you on finding homes. However, there’s nothing wrong with going to a Realtor and saying, "I’d like to work with you. I’m not preapproved yet. Can you suggest a couple of lenders who you know and work with that I can go to to begin the approval process?"

And especially if your situation is somewhat unusual or difficult, the Realtor may have some suggestions for lenders who’d be more willing to work with you.

Hope that helps.

I have an advertising agreement with a realtor who did not pay most of his bill and gave us knowingly false promises to pay in emails, on the phone, and shaking our hand in person. Now, we’ve sued him in court. He claims he’s filing bankruptcy, even though he promised payment one week before we filed… seems like a quick turnaround to be suddenly filing bankrupcty. The reality is, as to date, he has yet to file. What are the ethics rules for realtors dealing with the public in non-real estate transactions?
I am aware I need to file a discplinary complaint; what I’m asking is if it will stick, and why.

The same as any other relationship. Make him go to court and present BK paperwork showing your firm listed at one of th creditors. If he can’t you may get a judgment but good luck collecting.

if yes what place? and if not why? i have heard about real estates and im giving it a thought

I say yes. The Philippines is a very beautiful place. Invest in properties where tourists go. I suggest that you invest in Boracay, Baguio or Tagaytay. These places are lovely and people from every nation come to visit these places. The people are friendly, hospitalbe and able to communicate in English. I can help you find a good real estate investment in my country. Email me.

I have a degree in Libral arts and has been working in the sales and marketing for overseas export. I would like to change job to be a realty estate agent, what steps I have to take?

have to take realty estate agent classes. best thing to do is stop by and ask one or call one.

We are moving to the Grand Junction area in the next week and a half & I am trying to find listings of houses for sale by owner ..priced between 100,000 & 175,000 dollars…. Where can I find such listings? We have a realestate agent already.. so please no soliciters.. I just wanted to do some research of my own too & see if I can find something she didn’t…. More options ya know! Thanks for your help… & please no spammers

you might wanna try realitytrac.com but that is paid service.
but for first 30 days they have a trial period for free of charge.

theres this complex of townhomes and one of the townhomes is for rent by a realty, so we went to the the realty place and put in an application for it, and the guy who i guess is the owner of the realty place said he needs to check our credit score which would take about a day then he’ll get back to us today before 12..around 1, we called him and he said something like hes waiting to get approval from the owner of the townhomes?…well my question is…if a townhome is owned by a realty dont they make the approval?? because after he said that i was kinda worried that was just an excuse so he doesnt tell us were not approved…does anyone know how it works?

Real estate companies rarely own properties they have for rent, they only manage them. Once your application is submitted and it meets the management companies criteria, the owner of the place usually needs to approve or deny the application based upon the real estate companies findings and recommendation. Depending on how easy it is to get a hold of the owner this process could take anywhere from a day to a week. Hang in there, they’ll get back to you, it’s not unusual.

Good Luck.

I am really wanting to learn the field of realestate and need some information due to I have no experience in this field.

i believe you just study and have to take some classes. i think you can even take the classes over the internet. they are also really short. then just take i test. it is fairly easy to become one, but its hard to be good and successful at it.

Yahoo has a featured story today linked to the url http://realestate.yahoo.com/Real_estate_news/story?s=rytimes/item-4bcc1fc619fd6bf106034420ddf198de.html How is it that Yahoo! is allowed to post such misleading information about the housing market and post no writer’s name? The information posted in this editorial is posted as fact. Shouldn’t that be illegal? How does Yahoo! get away with it?
For instance, in this editorial, an anonymous Yahoo! Real Estate staff writer states that "There is no housing bubble." The facts are very clear that this is the biggest real estate bubble in history. This misinformation could lead more people into losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why would Yahoo! do this to their users? Could this be why Yahoo! is falling so far behind Google?
Clearly, before Yahoo! Real Estate presents what they believe to be fact before millions of users, shouldn’t they cite things like the Shiller Graph which define, without a doubt, that there is a dangerous housing bubble in the US? http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/113/2109/1600/shillergraph.gif
I would prefer answers from unbiased Realtors, thanks. Realtors are given clear talking points designed to defraud their clients out of thousands of dollars. See http://www.realtor.org/home_buyers_and_sellers/its_a_great_time_to_buy_a_home.html

I state the facts. Please don’t use Yahoo! Answers to spread lies and rob people of their life savings.

Your interpretation of the data does not jibe with that given by many others. So, it is going a bit overboard to accuse Yahoo of playing fast and loose with the facts. In my area, there are several houses that have been on the market for quite a while, but they are way overpriced.
