| The struggle of finding Contractors (that follow through) Posted: 07 Aug 2020 07:08 AM PDT I'm just tired of it. About to start selling in a new area here in a few months. So, as we know... establishing relationships with local crews is a must. What better way then to hire some projects out around our current home, see the quality of craftsmanship/work ethic/customer service.....and then be able to personally reference them to future clients! Was looking at Painting, Floors, Molding, and general home cleaning. Now. We all know that if we call them and say, "Hey I'm a local real estate agent and I'd love to hire you to come by and install my floors...I'll take some before and after photos and then I'd love to use your company as a primary reference to send clients to that need work on their homes prior to listing.." ...we would get great service. But that's not the point is it. Multiple companies I've been through can barely follow through on estimate timelines or fail completely on bids and any other customer service needs...like calling to confirm dates of work needed. Thus, I'd never use them for clients who need dependable service. We are always on a timeline. That side of me wants to call and say, "Yep, would be sending you business dozens of times a year, but nevermind." Oh well. The hunt continues. Hope I'm not alone on this. [link] [comments] |
| Good resources for school zone? Posted: 07 Aug 2020 05:04 AM PDT I was wondering if there were any good resources on school zones. Especially high schools in the Hillsborough County Florida area. Seems every website has a different scoring system and that is probably based on who happens to review the school on their site versus another. Also its tough to figure out if a school is raised up from having a special program in there like IB versus figuring out the general high school population. Basically trying to figure out how high schools compare. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Aug 2020 12:56 PM PDT Title is pretty self explanatory. I've had several real estate agents call me recently asking if I'm interested in selling property I've never owned nor rented, and haven't lived at since high school before I had a cell phone. Is it common practice for them to buy phone lists and cold call despite being on the national do not call list? [link] [comments] |
| (Crosspost r/RealEstate) Help a Reporter Out: Tips on Rent-to-Own Posted: 07 Aug 2020 11:49 AM PDT Hello there, r/Realtors! I'm writing a piece on the basics of rent-to-own agreements — pros, cons, things to look out for, and what type of buyer will benefit most from a rent-to-own agreement. Looking to get some expert quotes from a real estate professional. Anyone willing to give some insight? Anything you have to offer is great, but some questions below for guidance as well!
Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Am I the dreaded difficult client? Posted: 07 Aug 2020 11:37 AM PDT tl;dr My realtor doesn't want to show us as many houses as we want to see and thinks we're crazy for wanting disclosures first. Should we see someone else? Ok so. My realtor seems to be getting pretty frustrated with us. We've been looking for about 4 or 5 weeks. We've mostly been consistent in looking at 5 or 6 properties in a row on a single day once a week. We've written on 2 but no deals yet (usually 6 or 7 offers on every house). Today I asked if he could get me disclosures before seeing the houses on our tour this week—honestly in our area the houses are generally 80-100 years old and the amount of deferred maintenance is one of the biggest factors for us. Anyway our realtor was kinda flabbergasted that I would want disclosures for so many properties. He also said it didn't seem like we knew how much energy he was putting into lining up tours and that we need to be more selective. For the last two disclosure packages he really hasn't looked them over until I ask him about them. He also isn't finding us properties, I am. Um am I asking for too much? Thanks! Edit: We also made our first offer fully at the last minute due to our inexperience. We have asked to see houses we were serious about a second time and tried to get him to schedule same day—but usually that was bc an offer date was pending. [link] [comments] |
| Where are a realtor’s loyalties? Is it to the seller or himself? Both? Neither? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 03:04 PM PDT (Forgive me if this is inappropriate; maybe point us in the rt direction?) Selling the house. Long time realtor friend who helped getting us in house 20 years ago now helping get out. In my area, prices are super hot! We thought his number too low - we were $27k more. Theres some urgency, but not critical. We can wait a little. Question: where do a realtor's loyalties lie? He wants to sell it, ofc, I get it. But does he talk it down closer to his number when talking privately with other realtors? Does he tell the other realtors the behind the scenes? Ofc, we'd like him to not discuss the different issues affecting the urgency, but don't want to interfere with "process." Help? [link] [comments] |

| Can anyone explain this real estate math problem to me? Pretty please? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 04:21 PM PDT A lender offers an investor a maximum 70% LTV loan on the appraised value of a property. If the investor pays $230,000 for the property, and this is 15% more than the appraised value, how much will the investor have to pay as a down payment? answer: first, the sale price is 115% of the appraised value, so the appraised value is $230,000/115%, or 200,000. The lender will lend 140,000 (70% of the appraised value), so the investor will have to come up with 90,000 ($230,000-$140,000). I don't get where the 115% comes in.... am I just this bad at percentages? Hellllllllp! And thank you!!! [link] [comments] |
