Realtor and Home Buying

Recommended Posts

Not sure what you real question is.......

 

Just be honest with your realtor about what you are looking for....what are deal enders....honesty about your budget....etc

 

 

Now, if you are trying to determine if the realtor is the right one to hire, then I would ask about how they will work for you....what areas of the city do they specialize in (make sure you get a realtor that sell a lot in the areas that you are interested in....not just the city, but the areas of the city).  You will spend a lot of time with your realtor looking at houses and negotiating.....so you need to make sure that your personalities mesh.

Maybe one had too many experiences buying a car and not wanting to give away too much information. We have a price range, we already have a liquid down payment that's about a fifth of our budget. We don't want to get too much of a loan in case our income changes. Should income or down payment be mentioned? Or just set a ceiling price? What lenders should we see? What are the guidelines for income to debt ratio? How do they feel about student loan debt? What interest rate should we look for? Should I use my VA loan? The fiance is a W2 and by the time we sign I'll be self employed. Part of this purchase would be moving my consulting business from the offIce I'm leasing now to a separate structure on the land. We're looking at 100+ acre properties. Because my business will be there should that effect how long our loan is?

I was a realtor (still licensed not practicing at the moment)

Just be upfront and honest. We are asking you to hire us, not the other way around. You are the boss, we are just the housing experts and negotiators.

We are just a guide on your quest, making it as easy as possible for you and making sure you avoid pitfalls.

Of course you use your VA loan!

majority of America cannot afford dropping 20% on a house so use that benefit. You can also use it To your advantage against other potential buyers on the same house. save your cash for the move or furniture.

Btw... how's the real estate market in Denver? How much does a 3br, 2b go for?

screw you...I'm not giving you any of my great advice on this...hope there's dead people in your new place!

I'm sure it's good advice but you'd have to give me 30% more advice to equal American advice. I was just looking out for your fingers.

I have no idea about Denver. I'm looking north. I'm more about the land than the house itself. We found one 3 bed 2 bath with 180 acres for 315

Give the realtor a range, give them things that you absolutely don't want so they don't waste any time. Tell them what's important to you as well. Also, make sure you tell them what you'd be willing to sacrifice for another thing, for an example more land for less bedrooms or a basement or a less land for a more updated house, less distance to the city for a nicer house or vise versa. Just examples...the more information, and flexibility in the right areas, the less time will be wasted. I hate it when people waste my time and I've dealt with a few that will try to go that route like brining you in an area you said you did not want...also make sure and do as much research as your realtor is so you'll have the right questions when you need to.

    • The qb position has been eliminated due to the low probability of the success of selecting one early.  This part got me hollering the most "You can't get so hyperfocused on one position(even the most important position in football like QB) that you just draft a QB and any QB. This leads to wasted draft picks and years of torment as you are stuck in a development cycle for nothing." "Also, if we don't get our franchise QB this draft....oh well. We got the next dozen or so drafts to keep taking cracks at it."
    • Then be prepared to draft a QB the next year. When the best one would surely not play here. Then what?   This fanbase keeps preaching patience, while other bottom feeders are finding their QB's. Panthers fans are becoming blind. The losing has caught up to the fanbase. We preaching patience when we have been a bad franchise ever since Tepper took over.   But because you don't like Sanders or Ward we should pass on a QB. Then when they become franchise changers you feel bad.   Everyone knows this franchise will continue to suck until they get a franchise QB. Chasing LBs and DEs isn't helping us. We can address the defense after we get the QB.   Cmon Hepcat don't let the blind lead you they blind for a reason!
    • Imagine posting on a forum to mock people for posting on a forum. Whether you realize it or not you just played yourself. LOL  Guess what? We've heard people like you lecture people with opinions about how *insert former Panthers front office or coach moron* knows best and we're all just idiots. This forum exists to discuss Panthers football and that includes *GASP* sharing opinions that may be contrary to what the Panthers end up doing.  If you just want a circle jerk of an echo chamber reassuring you that everything the Panthers do is brilliant despite the abysmal record on the field, I think they made a Discord group for that.
