I know an attorney in Orange County who bought a house, had an appraiser check the square footage and the size came out 50 square feet less. He sued (being an attorney it cost him nothing) for $50,000.

Not cool...I do think some lawyers abuse their power. I had an attorney purchase a home from me and wanted a $15,000 deduction off the price because his appraiser came up with 19 sq. ft less than what the tax assessor and builder stated. . PULLEZZ!! All buyers need to confirm and verify the details of the home they are purchasing. Ugh!

I'm in the middle of selling my house, and I also gave a contingent offer to buy another. I have an offer on my place now, which I just accepted, and the buyer of my place got his own house inspector out yesterday, and a guy to inspect my trees. So far everything I've signed has been electronic, and my listing agent might call to tell me something like, the "inspector is coming over and the buyer with him", and it is a brisk, fast phone call, (he's always in a hurry) he doesn't ask if that time is convenient for me. He's always in a hurry. Well fuck that. When he calls about the buyers new inspection report I'm going to tell him I'm not signing anything without meeting in person. He has only set foot on my property twice. It's been like fast food service. Thank you for this advice!

Audra, thank you for teaching us! We put an offer in on a contingent. It said “Accepting back up offers”. My loan was already approved. I like your idea of having a home inspection before listing and saying here’s the stuff that’s wrong we’re not taking any reductions. 19 ft.². Really. Did this guy get out his measuring tape? If anybody pulls that crap with me I’m pulling the offer. I don’t care if I have to wait longer to sell.

Hello there...yes, it really was 19 sq, ft...unbelievable!! I love the home inspection before listing. It helps with the negotiations. You are so very welcome...so glad I could help. Good luck on that contingent offer. Smart to already have loan approval. Go get it!! Best of luck.

This happened to us about 20 years ago, so I don't remember specifics. We rented our contracted house to the buyer before closing.

This happened using a "top selling" Coldwell Banker. Another NO NO NO story for you.

You're the kind of agent that I'd like to have on my team. You didn't even touch on the less obvious scams that some agents perform in their contracts. For instance, they'll come in with what looks like a great selling price from a shill buyer (somebody they know), but then they expect the seller to pay a lion share of the fees and have some financing like FHA that won't be supported by the appraisal. Then they tell the seller that he or she must lower the price. I saw this very thing happen in an ascending market. So what looks like a high price for the home turns out to be a loser. They couldn't do it with me involved.

Thank you for all that you do! This Upper Texas Gulf Coast area is not an easy market, and we’ve already heard numerous horror stories concerning some of the agents. I’ll be SO thankful to hear “SOLD!”, and see that transfer of funds. After this home sales, I doubt we will buy again. We are now both retired, moving closer to adult children and grands, and with taxes, the cost of maintenance, and insurance, we will probably rent/lease from now on. Besides, we wish to spend our time traveling more extensively while we’re still able, not babysit a home. Besides, after putting pencil to paper, we should actually come out ahead financially! We never wish to have to deal with this again, and we don’t want our children to have to deal with a sale of ours in the future if we’re unable to do so. We all have enough to deal with. Mercy, but I hope this upcoming sale isn’t a nightmare. Neither of us are looking forward to this process. 🤦🏼♀️ Again, thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience. You are a dear!

My problem with real estate agents is the commission structure. Some are a percentage of the sale price; some reduce the percentage with increased price. This is exactly backwards. If a seller is leveraged, the agent should be similarly or more leveraged. I'd sooner pay 50% commission on anything over an agreed on floor than 5% or whatever on the entire price.

Well, I would contact your agent and ask if they could help...because that's what long term friends of a family do for each other. If you already signed a contract, the agent is not required to help with preparing the house for sale. There are companies that can come to the house and help declutter and/or donate...this, of course, costs money. So sorry to hear about your health condition issues. Also, call in the troops, see if other friends and family can help. I can tell you are kind hearted and would hope they could help ya. I know this process is overwhelming. By the way, I don't like that your agent wouldn't leave the contract behind for you to read. Doesn't make me feel good for you. Wish I could be of more help.

@AudraLambert9 ай бұрын
Hello there! It really depends. Buyer's agent commission are not set. The seller is not required to give a buyer's agent commission but it does assist with the buyer's paying for their own representation. If I was selling my house, I would give the buyer's agent a commission because I want that buyer well represented. Most buyer's can't afford to pay for their buyer's own commission. The buyer is the one who is paying most the money out of pocket. I would consider my price when offering a buyer's agent's commission. So glad you are learning from my videos. That makes me happy.

Thats a very interesting question. There are lawsuits currently about this very topic. I will do an entire video on it. Bottom line, back in the day when there were no rules governing real estate (Before National Association of Realtors Existed) it was the wild wild west in Real Estate (much worse than today). The National Association of Realtors created guidelines and rules regarding how the real estate industry should be conducted. The sellers offering commission to both the buyer and listing agents was created for "Cooperating" purposes. Sellers wanted their house to be shown, some buyers can't afford representation, hence where we are today...but that is changing.

As a new agent I'm rather disturbed that you are always telling clients to find an agent with a lot of experience. This seems self promoting on your behalf. How are new agent supposed to get experience?

Noooo...there is no such thing as a set listing term. Heck you can make it 1 day if you'd like. You can negotiate any length of term you want. I hate that too.

With respect because your information is great but you laugh is out of line. It’s not funny. Selling or buying a house isn’t funny. It’s hard to listen to you. Most people don’t live in Orange County areas.
