Real Estate

Part 8 of the “Solving the Square Footage Puzzle” series, this session discusses the details of the American Measurement Standard. What is it? Who is it for? Can it really help to protect agents and consumers from square footage liability? Find out how the AMS is changing the “language of real estate.” One method that agents and appraisers can agree on, can change the reliability of the MLS information system.

A previous owner has listed my house for sale and hasn’t taken if off yahoo real estate here: :http://realestate.yahoo.com/West_Virginia/Elkview/Homes_for_sale/0f2fcf0670bfd5eb471862af4dc847ce;_ylt=A9j8aVI0CRlHdRkBsgA4OrQs?

I have contacted this man and he isn’t even an agent and will not take this off the web. Please help me and give me contact information for Yahoo! so I may contact them to take it off the web. Please let me know how I may get this listing off the yahoo real estate.

Thanks for your help,

Todd

Yahoo will not remove it. This guy is probably using your house’s listing just to draw people to him so he can try the old bait and switch routine to sell more of his property. About the only thing you can do is report this guy to the Better Business Bureau. The BBB is listed in your telephone book. When he gets a notice from the BBB that you have filed a complaint, he will probably take your house off of Yahoo just to keep it off of his record.

So my parents decided to buy a house for my sister and I for college as we go to the same school. I worked with a buyer’s agent to buy a house (my parents don’t understand English well). I chose the house and had my parents sign papers (of course I explained things to them).

I did some research and found some pros and cons.

PROS
"With their name on the title, IT CREATES A CREDIT HISTORY FOR THEM. If the student is working and generating taxable income, then some TAX BENEFITS would accrue . . . And they might be able to EXEMPT CAPITAL GAIN . . .

CONS
If the child has debts, collectors can go after the property.
(I’m not too worried about this scenario as I only have government student loans.)

If the child is on the title, they can be sued for their portion of the house.
(I somehow I was sued, would it be better to have joint tenancy or fee simple?)

Fee simple and joint tenancy are not the same type of thing–you are talking apples and oranges. Think of fee simple as how good a hold you have on the property. You hold 100% rights to the property. You can do with it what you will. Most property in the U.S. is held this way but worldwide there are many forms of ownership that limit your ownership rights. Do a google search on fee simple and read the definition of it.
Joint tenancy involves how those rights are passed to another party in the event of the death of an owner by declaring how those rights are held while the owners are alive. Again, there are several types of joint tenancy that have different results–i.e. the property may be passed to other owners("with right of survivorship" which is the most common joint tenancy) or goes to the estate of the deceased where a will takes over distribution("tenants in common"). Again, you should do a search(Wikipedia works also) for joint tenancy and read up and educate yourself as to the different outcomes of each type of ownership and then decide for yourself what will work best.
Don’t make any decisions based on what you read on this board–we are not experts and this is too big a decision to be made lightly. One last thing–it may be best if you consult a lawyer if you still have any questions or doubts. Good luck!

On Thursday September the 3rd of 2009, I, Chadi Bazzi hosted a Tom Ferry Social Media Technology to Transactions teleseminar where the topic of discussion was How to post effectively on Craigslist.

My personal coaching clients who are using this method of Craigslist Advertising are averaging 1.5 closings per month each in addition to their other internet marketing.

How easy is it to advertise on Craigslist, Its super easy when you know what you are doing and I teach you how to do it the right way the first time you do it.

How long does it take to post an ad on Craigslist? if the done the right way, it should not take you more than one minute an ad.

How often should you post an ad on Craigslist? and just what kind of ad do you use to post on Craigslist? and what type of headlines do you need to post on Craigslist? these are all good questions and most can be answered at http://www.chadibazzitv.com
