my agent thinks our price is too high...  she doesn't know the area.  my mom's agent told her the price on her house was too high - soon as she got rid of that agent, she found another and raised the price.  the buyers paid the higher price.  imagine that.\n\nHere's my question: SELLERS: Are you finding your agents want you to underlist your house so that it sells quickly and they don't have to work at selling it, but get the commission anyway?\n\nHummmmm.....

Depends on your listing agreement, but generally once you sign a listing agreement you are committed for the entire term of the agreement.  Pulling your house off could result in the broker earning his full commission.  Generally, if you talk with your agent and express your dissatisfaction, they will let you out.  Better for them to let you walk away then cause negative publicity for them.\n\nOf course, you may find that it's the property, price, or market that's resulting in your house not selling, not anything the Realtor is or isn't doing...

Here near SF, California, at least, you need to have permits to count the square footage of your basement. You can't count the bathroom's square footage either unless you have permits for it.\n\nI'm not sure about the HUD or FHA part of your question. \n\nIt doesn't seem like your agent is being unethical. \nWhy don't you ask your agent directly, so you can clear things up for yourself? Your agent seems fine to me. The problem here may be miscommunication. Perhaps due to you being away?

The fact of the matter is that you did not do your research about the area. You didn't ask your agent the right questions either. You should have asked or found out for yourself what is the area zoned for. Your agent's responsibility ends at the curb, any information about "off the property" issues such as rezoning or major works of redevelopment is not their responsibility to disclose to you unless it has an impact on  your property. And even if they did know about the project, you would have to prove in court, that you did not know and that the agent willfully withheld that information in order to steer you into the purchase and now you have real damages because of it.  Good luck...

It is not public record as the deal may still fall through and the seller would then be at a disadvantage for the next round of buyers. Sometimes your buyers-agent talking to the sellers-agent of the house of interest can gain more info than they should be able to since they might consider it a foregone conclusion. This is not something that sellers-agent should do though.\n\nAlso, this is kind of unethical if you are planning to use it for that house should it come back on the market. But if you are using it as a comp for some reason then you shouldn't feel as though you are doing anything wrong, just looking for advance knowledge that will be know eventually anyhow.

We bought a house recently.  We did not have a contract with an agent to find a house, nor were we offered one.  When we found a house, because the house was listed with an agent, and another agent showed us the house, the agent who showed us the house wrote up the contract (offer) to present to the seller.  Generally, no, you do not need -- I don't think you would want -- a contract with an agent - though, if an agent is attentive to your needs and gives his/her time, let that agent write up an the offer on the house (that you decide on) and get the commission if it is accepted by seller.  [Consider, too, you may find a "for sale by owner" house.  If you sign with an agent, be sure you know what happens in that case; you may still have to pay a commission.]

read your contract, since you are obviously renting the space where your home sits then there must be a contract you signed, and if it states that no additional people are permitted to live in the domicile then that is how it is, you can't just go against something you have signed. However, if it is not mentioned, then they have no right to do anything to you. It's time to do some reading.

First of all, I see alot of people upset that they are onn "do not call" lists and still get calls. Number one, if you own a home, forget about being on a do not call list. Your information is public record and will, therefore, probably never stop getting calls from Mortgage companies. I suggest losing the phone all together.

That's definitely a question best handled by the professionals involved, like your realtor and your attorney. Just don't know, it'll be different from state-to-state. Plz talk to your attorney!

hell no its not right file a complaint with the national assosiation of realtors and your state real estate board- I had a realtor give the lock box # for my old house to a client without anyone's consent so he can take my key and enter my house whenever he felt like it- fight for your rights!!!you own the property not your realtor-I would term my contract with the realtor and find one with integrity

Unless you are the buyer or the seller, it's really none of your business. If you try to approach potential buyers, and you do not word things in exactly the correct way, you could get sued when they decide not to buy. The buyers will be having a home inspection prior to closing; hopefully they've selected a good home inspector who will catch these things. But you should stay out of it unless you have a financial interest in the sale of the home, or unless you like getting sued.

If I'm correct, until all contingencies have been taken care of, they can and should entertain other offers.  If your financing falls through, or you find another home you like better, the inspections don't come out like you want, etc.  There are a hundred different reasons why YOU would back out, so he's covering his behind.  It's not unusual at all. \n\nIf all of your things are in order, I wouldn't worry about it  :)\n\nGood luck  :)

There is this concept called "caveat emptor" which means "buyer beware". It essentially means that courts are going to place buyers with the responsibility to ask questions about things that look out of place when buying a home. Since you saw their belonging on top of crates and didn't ask "why", this may be used against you but I doubt it. (Was there anything else that was obvious something was wrong iwth the house?--if so, you are gonna have a hard case).\nBut besides this concept, I am going to say "yes" you have a case for fraud. Please remember that there is a statute of limitations (meaning the end time when you can sue) for fraud, depending on your state statute which is typically 2 years from the date of the incident which I suppose in your case would be when you viewed the home. \nWhat would even strengthen your case is if you directly asked them, with a witness of course, "Are there any problems? Is there any damage?etc.---something along those lines" because then you can point to the previous owners as directly committing fraud on you. However, if the owners simply did not say anything about the sewer system and you didn't ask any questions like this that required and received an affirmative answer, you might be in for a harder fight.\nConclusion- Gather your facts more specifically and consult your state statute for the time limit on the staute of limitations.
