How can a realtor call a bedroom illegal on a listing ? Is it still a bedroom?

admin — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 02:56:56 +0000

This house i am looking at has 2 legal bedrooms and 2 illegal bedrooms. How are they able to list/do that? The basement windows are not legal. How much does it cost to make windows larger?
What if I would just add a walkout on the side of the basment wouldn’t that do it? I live in Oregon BTW! Thanks!
Oh the person who currently owns the home is a realtor. I find this strange that they would list it as illegal.

The realtor is advising prospective buyers that their financing arrangements (Banks or Mortgage Companies) may not qualify this home for the amount of money that is asked because the two bedrooms are not legal. Its’ the seller who has to bring house to code, not the buyer.

How can I sell my home without the use of a realtor or online fee listing?

In Virginia, what is the normal fee paid to a realtor that is listing our condo for rent?

admin — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 06:33:58 +0000

I have hear 1 month rent and 1/2 month rent.

A 1 month fee is the standard, because we are looking at a relatively modest payment as compared to the commission on the sale of a house. I once had a Realtor who charged only 1/2 month’s rent, but I had to pay for advertising and other fees. In the end this gal went out of business too.

Would you benefit more getting your own realtor or using the realtor that has the forclosure listed.?

I want to purchase a foreclosure but, I think if I use the realtor whose listing the property,they may accept my lower bid better if they get the full commission.

As Christin said it can be done but you should get your own agent. Which one of you do you think the agent is going to show loyality too first, the one that hired him or her or you?

How long does it take a realtor to get their first listing?

I did ask this before, however your answer this time is almost as unhelpful as last time, so I wanted to ask again. Thanks

The majority that obtain a license never have a listing, that is why the national average is only one house a year. You need to count on having no income for at least a year unless you already have contacts

If a realtor shows me a property and is not the listing agent, am I obligated to use him/her?

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 13:50:48 +0000

I have not signed any agreements with this agent.
Could I still buy that property with another agent? I have not signed any agreement with this realtor

You don’t have to use the agent who showed you the property. However, using a different agent is going to cause commission disputes. The agent who showed you the house has ‘procuring cause’ for introducing you to the property, and is now entitled to at least a portion of the commission, on that basis. In fairness to a different realtor, you should inform said different realtor that you initially viewed the property with another. The agents can work out any issues (if possible) amongst themselves. If the initial agent discovers that you are going to buy using another, the agent can quickly file a ‘lis pendens’ on the property to insure that he/she is paid. That would require the agent to be paid prior to or at closing.

As well, do NOT rely on the timeframe of 90 days provided by another respondent. That varies from state to state. In MY state, that period is one year.

If you’re selling a house, does the Realtor get commission from the sale price or the listing price?

admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 06:38:41 +0000

If the listing price is reduced due to repairs, does the Realtor and Broker get commission from the final sale price, or from the listing price before the reduction due to repairs?

The realtor’s commission is normally based on the actual sale price, and not the listing price.

Learn How to Sell Your House Without a Realtor and utilizing Internet Marketing…

Can I Really Sell My House Without a Realtor? The National Association of Realtors says…NO WAY!

They do control the greatest marketing tool known as the Multiple Listing Service which gives all Realtor members access to your listing information. It’s pretty huge considering there are usually several thousand agents in each city and they are usually working with 10 or 15 potential buyers! WELL..at least they were last year!

So, yes the MLS is powerful and controlled by the Realtors but there is aways flat fee MLS if you want the Realtor exposure but don’t want to be locked into a 6% traditional listing commission.

Since half of all potential buyers have gone missing in the last year or so, there is a lot of competition on the MLS right now. A buyer has a big advantage because there are far more available properties than there are buyers so I guess a savvy seller could us flat fee MLS to their advantage by paying the flat fee to get the MLS exposure and then offer the Realtors a huge commission to bring them a buyer. That might work…

Another option would be to focus on the Internet. Afterall everyone says buyer’s start their home search there! It would only take you about six months at ten hours per day to master search engine optimization and all the little tricks and techniques that is takes to get a high ranking on Goggle and Yahoo! And, if you have that kind of knowledge I would like to know why you are reading this anyway?

The MLS is the greatest real estate marketing tool ever created. However, in todays market it’s just not enough. There’s just too much inventory on the Multiple Listing Service for it to be your only resource. It doesn’t give you any kind of edge over the competing properties. Combining flat fee MLS with Internet Marketing is the answer to today’s market conditions.
