Real Estate

I am looking for apartment and I find this place from Craigslist. I want to know how long has coop connection has been in business. If they are legal business?

Craigslist is full of scams.
Never give anyone any personal information online.
Never pay any deposits or give anyone account information
Only get an apartment if you can do a full walkthrough first, and ask the person showing you the place show your their ID to make sure it matches your lease paperwork. Do a background check on the property to see who owns it.
I’ve seen many, many scams where people give a deposit online, then get a key, and the key never fits the place

Assuming that a contract was just signed to list a home with an initial asking price of less than $150,000, what is the probability that the home will take cooper realty more than 90 days to sell?

100%

Most of the foreclosed (bank-owned) homes in Metro Detroit are listed with major chain realty companies (Century 21, Remax, Remerica, etc.). But some are listed with fly-by-night outfits that no one has ever heard of, and people at these offices can be extremely difficult to get a hold of (don’t answer calls, don’t return messages, etc), and have incompetent agents who couldn’t care less.

How can these outfits stay in business if they don’t seem to know the first thing about running one?

I have the same complaint! I will not even bother offering, there is no way that agent will close on the deal.

I am guessing the bank does not want to sell at this point in time and listing this way makes it appear like they are and they need that appearance for their insurance claim.

I’ve called the numbers, looked at the website and can’t find hours of operation anywhere. Does anyone out there know what time they open? Thanks!

I’m looking for anyone who has worked for these companies Keyes, Keller Williams, Coldwell Banker etc. I already know that I need one that provides great training and mentoring, which is why I want details on your experience with these companies and which one you think is best. No generic answers please!

Keller Williams or Remax is about the best. Florida also has some small independent realtors that provide what your looking for depending on your area of interest.

A realtor has taken twenty feet of my land including a well and driveway claiming it as theirs. I have owned this land for over ten years although I’ve never fenced it or lived on it.

You may be mistaken.

You would have to have a licensed surveyor mark the lines in a dispute.

I am a new agent and was curious about other agents experience with this office?

They are pretty good.

Now all you have to tell us the city and state of Northwood Realty Services, as there are probably dozens of companies by that name across the U.S. as seen by the following summary page:

This question has gone six days without an answer.

In the United States, the word "realty" is commonly interchangable with the phrase "real estate". In fact, Webster’s Dictionary offers the definition of the noun "realty" as meaning "real estate". For all practical purposes, the terms are interchangable.

In the USA, a realty company facilitates the selling and buying of real estate by bringing together seller and buyer, and thereby earning a sales commission. The business is highly regulated in all fifty states with the manditory licensing ofreal estate agents and brokers.

Realty companies execute a listing contract with the sellers of real estate and then advertise the property for sale to the general public. Agents from competing companies can bring buyers to the table and the sales commissions are split in a fairly standard manner. Every realty company must have a licensed "Broker" of record who is ultimately responsible for the actions of the licensed realty agents who work for the firm.

One of the biggest realty companies in the USA is "Coldwell Banker". Prior to the 1970’s, the realty business in the USA was a regional, and many times neighborhood, business that was highly fragmented. The acquisition of successful smaller companies by even more successful larger companies over the years has led to the nationwide giants we now see. Coldwell Banker was a financial based business, acquired by the giant retailer Sears & Roebuck, that got into the realty business. Through aggressive acquisition, they managed to achieve the scale necessary to be able to make the most of national advertising and promotion. There are others that have done the same thing.

Internationally, realty companies strike deals to split commissions generated from the referrals generated when people are transfered due to work requirements.

All of the abovementioned information applies to residential realty, but the commercial realty business operates in a similar manner.

I hope this information helps.
