Real Estate

we just closed on a condo by jacksonville beach, fl. After closing we found out that the place wasn’t completed, (okay we should have checked beforehand) anyhow the builder will now be done next week (4 months later) meanwhile he didn’t do as said in the appraisal etc. 69 cent tiles instead of marble floors etc etc etc. So we called the appraisal company. Well they never made the appraisal which was used on closing with wachovia and was provided by our realestate agent/ bank brooker. Furthermore there is no CO. the ladie at wachovia is also working for the title company. and now we found out the brother of the bank brooker recieved a big chunk of chance via an LLC on closing. just one big mess, and in th middle we’re standing.

a few questions, how could wachovia have us closee if there were no CO? and howcome they approved an fraud appraisal without checking?

Meaning we thought with a bankbrooker and a bank etc that we were paying for their services to make sure we did everything right. now we have a place, not yet done, can’t live there yet etc and we’re paying mortage…
CO, certificate of occupancy

I know in certain States and countries it is mandatory for a realestate agent to tell thier clients if there are physical damages to the house.

But is it madatory to tell the clients if there are things that happened in that house like a murder or suicide or if it was a crack house??

for exaple if a couple with thier kids move to a new town and they are not aware that the worst murder that town has seen happened in the house that they are buying. And the realator does not tell them and sells it for the going rate in that area. Once the couple finds out they are creeped out and want to move but no one wants to buy that house if they sell it they would probably take a loss in the price.

Is it law for the realetor to disclose that information in certain states or countries.
What is the specific law and how does it work?
it’s not just the moral issue, but I would never be able to sell it for as much as I paid for it

Here’s the easy answer:
I’m aware of no state law that would force this type of disclosure. It’s an ethical issue with the Realtor and neighbors you may talk with before purchase (they want you to pay more to help their values). It’s not a legal issue.
The reason is someone being murdered on the property has nothing to do with the actual condition of the property. The physical condition of the foundation and the home is not impacted because of any particular event, no matter how horrific, which occurred within that structure. If that were the case, every place where such events occurred would have to be raised or devalued as a structure.
That said, you can take out an add in any paper or magazine that discloses the name of the agent who did this to you. You can also go to local reporters on television and newsprint, and the Better Business Bureau. Cause pain for that Realtor and their company.
Just remember, it’s all in your head about something being wrong with the property because it was once used as a human butcher shop.
Caveat: If blood starts flowing from the spigots of the plumbing, then please pardon me for being an insensitive schmuck and I completely apologize.

i recently bought a condo in seattle area.(first time buyer) My agent have me sign the closing document 2days before the actual closing date & 4days before the seller left the place. while i was looking at the property my agent told me that it is not legal and ethical to look inside the cabinets/drawers/places where personal items of the seller couldbe found. I took all info as is. I told my agent that he should make sure the seller leaves the property clean inside out which didnt happen.seller left the property in a horrible condition,dirty bathroom, fireplace, kitchen, full of maggots it cost me over $300 to have the place cleaned.i also noticed broken microwave and missing window screens.i told my agent about these concerns and he denied to help me. instead he is telling me that if i want i could take the seller to the small claim court, which might be a good idea BUT i think there is a better way to handle it and which is my realestate agent’s job, i gave him a month to resolve
more details: Condo comes with a build-in microwave, seller didnt disclose the broken microwave on any of the documents.
The reason why I received the key 2 days after the actual closing date was because the seller wanted to clean the place; however that didn’t seem to happen. My agent took the keys from the seller without walking thru the property or inspecting it. i think it was his job to make sure everything before taking the keys from the seller if the property is as I looked at it(which was about a month before the closing).
I tried to give enough time to my agent to resolve the issues,instead he is accusing me that i am doing this all to get money from him -huh???
but since he got his share from the 3% commission,he no longer is responsing to my emails professionally.
do you think i need to inform the seller’s agent’s?
Yes, i had hired an inspector to inspect the property, but he didnt catch any of it. ofcourse my agent was the one who brought him.
I was being recommended to my agent by my co-worker, after all this I searched him online, I couldnt find any information..
i contacted my agents broker, he is even more unprofessional. i had been contacting them in a professional and nice way(btw i am an engineer by prof) in return this is how he is answering to my email & i quote "I find your email offensive. Let me be clear. My company will NOT give you a dime, We dont owe you anything" – asking for my rights is being called ‘offensive’.
my agent is a NWMLS member and i think i do have his number (from the printouts he gave me of my condo’s positing on MLS website)
I do have all the conversations (emails )saved to show the proof that i contacted and make them aware of the situation.

Dawni Do Right, is there a way i could contact you thru email, maybe i could give more info and u could help.thx

Your agent should have advised you to obtain a home inspection. The broken microwave would have been discovered, also missing screens and you would have had a means of negotiating to have those items repaired or replaced. If he advised you NOT to have a structural inspection, he is in big trouble!!!

Your agent is the only one that is acting like money is the only factor. He should have paid for the cleaning service. If you were concerned about the condition of the unit, he should have made provisions in writing for you & he to inspect the unit PRIOR to you signing your closing documents.

You agent failed miserably at protecting you and acted more in HIS own best interests, not yours.

In order to complain to the Association of Realtors, you will need to know if your agent IS a member. Is there a Realtor "R" on his business card? Or his website? If not, it will do no good to complain to the Board of Realtors as they only have govern agents that are members. (Not all real estate agents are Realtors, just as all doctors are not member of the AMA)

Your first place to complain should be your agent’s broker. I don’t know what office or I would provide that information. (I work in Puget Sound further North in Everett)

Next will be the NWMLS (North West Multiple Listing Service)

Next will be the Washington State Department of Real Estate Licensing. Here’s a link to a complaint form http://www.dol.wa.gov/forms/620175.pdf

I would also pursue the BBB. You will have to file the complaint against the company & you could name the agent. This might get his broker to respond to you & get his agent to assist in a resolution.

hi,
i reside in ontario and i am considering returning to the work force in a career as a realestate agent.
i would be interested in knowing where you take the course ?
how much it costs ?
how long it takes to complete ?
how one goes about finding a firm to work with when you complete the course ?
finally, i would like to know what the market is like for a new agent just starting out ? ( i.e. – is it easy to find employment ).

any information which you can provide, pertaining to the laws and rules and regulations governing ontario practice, would be appreciated !
thanks, in advance.

Hi.. I used to work for a Real Estate Co. and thought about
getting my own license after awhile.. I too, live in
Ontario..
Here’s the link to most of your questions..below.
I just wanted to state that It is easy to get employment, depending on your seriousness and enthusiasm, but
you will really have to work at it – to some it comes naturally – to obtain contacts, for sales, listings, etc. You really need to be dependable, hardworking, and know how to network.

Good Luck!

What is the required notice for the landlord or realestate agent to give before entering a rental home? I cant seem to find a universal answer on this.Some state 24 hrs and some state there isnt a law on this for michigan other than notifing the tennant before entry.Please post a website if you find one.

I believe this is the latest version straight from the Attorney General

Brand New Charlotte Homes for Sale at http://www.buildersdirectonline.com/Homes/For-Sale/Charlotte/NC/ Learn How To Get 1% Cash Back on Charlotte North Carolina Homes for sale. All of the Charlotte Homes for sale are are Brand New. Get Your 1% Cash Back Coupon Today! See Thousands of Brand New Homes for sale in the entire Charlotte Market. I’ve spent a career working in Charlotte Real Estate and worked for new home builders who build new homes in the Charlotte NC market. Now I just do consulting for home builders in Charlotte to help them market their new homes for sale and train real estate professionals on how to work with buyers looking for Charlotte NC homes, both used homes and new construction homes for sale. I started my own company so that I can share my knowledge of Charlotte Real Estate and to help the public get the best deals on brand new homes for sale in the Charlotte NC market. In our local Charlotte Real Estate market, buyers looking for homes for sale need all the advantage they can get. Many buyers do not realize that in addition to just looking for used homes for sale in Charlotte, there are many brand new homes in Charlotte from some of the countries leading home builders. This instructional video was produced to help educate the public on how they can get an additional 1% Cash back when buying a new home in the Charlotte area. Our website contains thousands of brand new homes for sale so doing reasearch on homes is extremely easy. From my experience working in a model home for home builders in Charlotte, I have witnessed a lot of misconceptions that buyers have when searching for a new home. Many of the buyers that came into my sales center were under the impression that they could get a better price on their new home if they did not have a real estate agent representing them. They think that , well if I don’t have an agent than the builder will not have to pay a commission to the real estate agent and will be able to pass the savings on to me. Well, it doesn’t work that way. Commissions and referal fees to not change the price of the new home, from an accounting point of view, those fees come out of an entirely different budget just like operating expenses, advertising, employee healthcare etc. I never had a buyer ask to get a better price on their new home because they didn’t see our billboard or didn’t see one of our marketing pieces. From a practical point of view, it would be disasterous to change the price based on if a buyer had representation from a real estate professional or not. If they did, it would be extremely detrimental for appraisal values and for public relations since a lot of a new home builders business comes from the real estate industry, not to mention that buyers would feel cheated if pricing on a new home were based on whether or not they had an agent helping them on their new home purchase. The bottom line is that when you visit a new home sales center, the on site home consultants only use one price list. So, you are probably wondering if new home builders only use one price list and the price of your new home does not change how can you possibly get an additional 1% cash back on your new home purchase in Charlotte, NC. The answer is simple. By having a real estate agent that is licensed in North Carlolina help you with your new home purchase, then any commission or referal paid by the new home builder be paid to the real estate company where that real estate agent works. If the real estate company’s policy allows, the company may take part of their fees and apply that back to their buyer client. So it is a win win situation all the way around. The price of the home does not change but the buyer gets an additional rebate back from the broker that is representing them. The difficulty that you are going to be faced with when buying a new home in Charlotte is how do you find a real estate company in Charlotte that will be willing to apply part of their commission and give it back to their client. Most real estate agents and real estate companies are not inclined to do this because they just do not do enough volume, nor should a buyer expect or demand this from their real estate agent. Our company works with real estate firms that have already agreed to take part of their commission and apply it back to the buyer client. All you need to do is to go to our website and print out a 1% Cash Back Coupon. We currently have real estate firms licensed in North Carolina and South Carolina that are participating in the program so you can use your coupon anywhere in NC or SC. The important thing that you must know is that you must print the coupon before you visit a new home builder’s sales center. You must take the coupon and present it to the builder on-site sales consultant on your first visit to the build.

we are under contract to buy a house. When realestate showed house it says no HOA’s on flyer and agent said there wasn’t any. when title search was done it was found,but the hoa it’s listed doesn’t have it on their paper agent said. can we get removed from the hoa. we really want the house but not HOA

HOAs are pretty powerful, I doubt you can op out.

However if you still have not bought the house you most likely can get out of the contract and get your deposit ot earnest money back.
