    WA State: Sellers won't fill out disclosure, won't provide septic test results

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 08:23 AM PDT

    Hi There,

    I'm in the process of buying a home in WA State (Clark County). We put in an offer, it was accepted and We've completed inspections. Our realtor says he's getting completely ghosted by sellers agent (for over a week). We have not received the disclosure form or septic inspection (which, I'm to understand is required by WA law). We are less than 3 weeks from closing. I know we could just walk away, but i'm curious:

    Have you experienced something like this? I can't wrap my head around why they would stop responding at this point, we haven't even sent them any concessions/repairs.

    Because of the size of the home & lot, we've spend ~2K on inspections. Any way to recoup those costs? Can the house actually be sold without satisfying the legal requirement for a disclosure form & septic inspection?

    Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Arizona allows for non-residents to have a license but there's an undisclosed catch

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 11:16 AM PDT

    It's a catch neither the AZ depart of real estate (ADRE) nor the school you sign on for required education discloses up front. And the school says that was something they never knew.

    You have to take the exam in Arizona.

    I have six other licenses and this is a first. Every other state allows for test taking in your home state. This is a strange twist.

    Education for a new license in Idaho

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 10:28 AM PDT

    I am moving to Idaho and looking to get my license. Trying to find a good online course and I came across "Idaho Real Estate School." Has anyone used them for licensing classes? I'm curious if they're legit because their website is awful and makes me wonder if its a scam or not.

    Outbound referral questions

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 10:14 AM PDT

    I've been licensed for a very long time, but have just sent my first successful outbound referral. Other than the signed referral form (which I have). is there anything else I should ask for? First page of the purchase agreement? something indicating the sale price? Do I just trust the numbers work out and things happen as they should? Thanks.

    Question regarding realtor fee

    Posted: 24 Sep 2020 04:54 PM PDT

    I am the buyer of a property and my realtor is trying to force me to pay realtors 3% fees. I am a first time property buyer and I think he is trying to scam me. I asked the seller and he told me that the sellers broker is already splitting his commission with my broker.

    So in short he is talking commission from buyer and seller side. Is this an industry standard. Where can I complain? What are my option, I am 2 days away from closing.

    I became a Realtor as a possible side gig. Now my email is a constant barrage of spam. Is there any way to stop this?

    Posted: 24 Sep 2020 07:42 PM PDT

    It's making my life a nightmare! I'm constantly unsubscribing, but it doesn't really do anything.

    Pls help a first time home buyer :(

    Posted: 24 Sep 2020 07:45 PM PDT

    Hi there! I'm hoping someone here has a few words of advice for me. My S.O and I are purchasing our first home together and will be closing some time in October.

    When the seller had accepted our offer, our real estate agent made it seem imperative that we get a home inspector in there the very next day. Everything seemed to happen so quickly that we hadn't got the chance to look for a home inspector so we opted to go with the one that our real estate lady had suggested, which I later learned is a big no-no.

    The inspection went okay and the report that came back was a pretty short one. I was a little disappointed he'd not climbed onto the roof to inspect it or under the crawl space. Overall, I felt that the inspection wasn't as thorough as I'd have liked it to be.

    Ideally, we would've hired our own home inspector before our negotiation period, and with it being a cash purchase, I feel as though our realtor and the sellers realtor were just trying to push this along as fast as they could. Also, we weren't able to get the home appraised before negotiations. (Seriously, everything happened so fast - within a week of our offer being accepted, we had finished our negotiations. Is this normal?)

    My question here is this: when going through our final walkthrough before closing, would it be a good idea to have a contractor friend of mine walk through with us to double check on things? Should/can I request we do another home inspection? I've been seeing these horror stories of home inspectors missing a crucial thing and costing the buyers thousands of dollars which is obviously the biggest thing I'd like to avoid. Any advice for first time homebuyers is very appreciated!

    Career as a Pre-Con Agent vs. Resale agent? (Toronto)

    Posted: 24 Sep 2020 01:33 PM PDT

    Can anyone here shed some light on what the career of a pre-con agent looks like in comparison to being a resale agent?

    Trying to figure out what salary/commission looks like, work/life balance, stability etc. Completely unfamiliar with what that side of the business looks like so curious to know if it would be of interest..

    I'm talking about working as an agent for a company like Milborne Group here in toronto for example that does specifically preconstruction sales and marketing.

    Cheers!
