Basically, a Realtor told me that if we had already seen a house without her that she could not represent me in buying that house because I had an obligation to use the selling Realtor. The selling Realtor was pretty horrible, so I would NEVER choose them, but her comment made me feel totally trapped, since we are somewhat interested in the house. Is she full of bull then?

While the above posting are correct – you are NOT obligated to use the Listing Realtor because you saw the home during an open house, DO tell the agent you hire to represent you that you saw the home during an open house. that way your agent can head off any problems before they happen.

The house I’m wanting to buy is $40,000. (I live in rural Indiana). What would the closing costs be?

If I go through the realtor to buy this house, can I get the home loan from the bank of my choice or will I need to use the realtors financing?

This will be my first home purchase and I know nothing about realtors. All help is much appreciated.

the Realtor has nothing to do with closing costs or where you get your funding from, the realtor gets paid a 3% comission wich is paid from the seller, the closing costs all depend on your loan officer thery make the fees now there are some fees thaey cant change like apprasial, title,doc prep, but there are fees they can lower such as loan origination,mortgage broker fee,processing fee, on a loan amount that small i would say your costs will be under 2,500 and they will most likley be rolled into the loan and not have to come out of your pocket.good luck and congrats on the new house

tip: i would constantly watch the current economic status for more guidance.

I have a public notice on my credit history, for a bill with an old apartment I had. ($3,600) Could this stop me from getting a place to live?

They’re all looking for good credit history. Having a bunch of collections on your credit shows that you do not pay your bills & that you are a risk being a renter.

Risk for being late on rent or skipping months.

If you have collections, also provide the property management company or apartment complex with an explanation letter for any negative information.

if this $3,600 is something you are disputing w/ your previous landlord , explain that to your new one.

Most apartment complexes will still take ppl w/ bad credit, you may just have to put up a higher security deposit.

everyone’s credit past & current situations are different, there is no magical # to any of this.

I’ve been looking for stuff in Townsville with them and have had a lot of luck, I’m sure you will be able to find something for your region through them as well.

im not sure what would happen if the auction date was before you moved out.

I signed a 3 month lease and i got the notice on september 1st and the auction was to go on october 17th. and our lease ended on september 30th and we just took off.

first thing you need to do is DONT PANICK!
trust me! i panicked and it just made it so much worse.
kay now what you need to do is, go to this website:
http://lawyers.findlaw.com/lawyer/practice/Landlord_Tenant?DCMP=KWC-GOOGLAWYER0804;KWC-GOOGLAWYER0804

select your state and city,
there will be a list of lawyers,
find one that says "Offers Free Consultation" (it will say it in orange on the right side)

click on view their profile and their number should be on the profile.

When you get ahold of them you need to tell them what exactly the paper says and they will be able to give you legal advice from there.
thats what i did, if i remembered what the guy i talked to said i would tell you but it probably wouldnt matter because these issues and laws vary from state to state.
hope i helped. good luck.

your borrower, if they are getting a loan, will be helped by the loan officer as well. title company will still be involved to protect you both.

good luck

The for websites that you need are 1. Personal Web Page 2. Client Contact Blog 3. non Branded Opt-in Page 4. Referral Directory

As a Realtor you know you need a Web Page and that is where most agents get stuck. Most real estate agents do not have a very effective lead generating web page. The site is normally just a surfing site with all the kinds of information that give the visitor A.D.D. and do not encourage the buyer or seller to leave their contact information.

The page most often does not have video and when it does the user is not getting the most out of the way they are using it. The are not on YouTube and when they are they are not using the components of YouTube to get them to the top of the search engines to drive free traffic.

GO TO http://RedHotWebPage.com

As a REALTOR you also need a BLOG. You must keep in touch with you entire list and 97% of them will not be buying for 1 to 10 years. A BLOG enables you to keep in touch with you list without appearing to be selling because it is news. Because if you do not keep in touch with your list somone else will.

A good BLOG will be 95% news and 5% sales with a link back to your web page. You do not want to have your BLOG domain name associated with your web page as it too will be considered a sales page.

GO TO http://ClientContactBlog.com

The Third web page you need is you non Branded Opt-in Page. We have developed a three step opt-in page that works like stealth. Ideally it is set up to be a gateway to the main listing sites in your area. It is designed to be used with Google the #1 web page on the Internet as well as Yahoo, Craigslist and Kijiji.

This is the Pit Bull of the lead generating virtual experience, it is to be used to go after now business. The great part about this is that it can be turned on and off when you want to work.

Because of it’s direct response nature it is the best measurable way to get leads and build your business today – BAR NONE – and I will go as far to say that there has never been a system developed as powerful as this in the history of prospecting

GO TO http://GoldRushLeads.com

The fourth tool you need to round out your virtual marketing experience to be involved with a REALTOR or real estate agent directory.

The obvious reason is for out of town out of province out of state or out of country referrals. But the bigger reason is to be able to use it at the listing presentation so that you can show your clients that you are involved with looking for buyers moving into your town or city.

You can then use the script that we provide with Canada Referral and United States Referral to get the seller to want to send you all the buyers and sellers that they meet. The reason the script is designed to be used at the listing presentation is because that is the day that they will stat to talk about real estate more then any other time in their life.

GO TO

http://CanadaReferral.com

or

http://UnitedStatesReferral.com

Finally all of this must come with training as it is a very strategic way of selling. So we have built the Commission Gusher Training System and we will be showing you how to get all of the knowledge the skills, the equipment and the software to enable you to be a major player in the Virtual Prospecting world today.

We always like to ask are clients to check with their local real estate boards, RECO, CREA the provincial ore state governing bodies throughout Canada and United States such as OREA.

The reason we say this as it is important to be up on the current national and regional advertising standards and regulations with regard to real estate in the Canadian or United States of America real estate markets.

We feel that REALTOR.com has not been responsive to the needs of REALTORS and that the current relationship between NAR and Move,Inc. (as currently constituted) is not in our interest as REALTORS for the following reasons:

1) Move, Inc. has a long standing pattern of raising fees on REALTORS and charging them exhorbitant fees in comparison with the costs of developing a national real estate listings site. Fees (which yet again are expected to be raised in 2009) are out of line with what other national listing aggregator websites cost their shareholders. Why should we be paying many multiples of what companies like Trulia and Zillow are costing THEIR shareholders for aggregating real estate listings on their sites?

2)After being provided ALL of our listings and photos, they have stripped off all but four, unless REALTORS pay them an annual “enhancement” fee. This effectively takes our clients and holds them hostage until we pay their “fee”. Much of this fee goes right back into “Sales expenses” which are Move,Inc.’s marketing to REALTORS that they MUST have their service. This adds HUGE costs to what is needed for a national website and is NOT acceptable.

3) In a world where many websites offer REALTORS social networking opportunities to connect REALTORS to potential clients, REALTOR.com has been sorely lacking in developing these types of programs.

4) The 2007 10K (released Feb 28, 2008) from Move, Inc. shows STAGGERING General and Administrative Expenses of over Million and Sales expenses of over 8 Million..these expenses are RIDICULOUS given their online properties and a development expense of Million. While we realize that this includes Top Producer and other assets of Move, Inc., that actually makes the ratio of development / Sales, General and Administrative Expense even MORE out of line. We are tired of having NAR tell US to pay for THEIR inefficiency.

We are not against paying for what WE receive. If you want to charge us for “enhancing OUR contact information” then fine. But don’t hold our CLIENTS and CUSTOMERS hostage. That is unconscionable. Many of them don’t know what you are doing to us and if they did, they would find it incredibly offensive.

More importantly, because the National Association of Realtors leased the rights to our web presence to third parties, they put themselves in the position of defending REALTOR.com’s inefficiencies and deficiencies to the general membership for their own financial gain.

We call on NAR to take steps to BUY BACK Realtor.com from Move, Inc. or to buy a controlling interest in Move, Inc. to provide a national listings site for REALTORS at a price that is REASONABLE and RATIONAL. With the current stock price so low, a controlling interest can be purchased at a reasonable price and other assets like TopProducer can be spun off to repay (partially) the investment. This is a strategy that makes SENSE.

Until NAR SERIOUSLY takes up this issue and hears our concerns, we vow to raise awareness, talk to the press, let our clients know what you are up to, and most importantly, we will NOT continue to pay higher and higher fees to cover Move, Inc.s inefficiencies and largess.

We do not do this out of spite. We do this to protect OUR good name and our industry. It only makes sense with Move, Inc’s stock price this low to take these actions. We call on you to address these concerns completely, totally, and immediately.
