Real Estate

The returns may be very good, but you must have deep pockets and or holding power.
Do watch out for government policy, some changes may kill you.

I am trying to buy a house and would like to choose a realtor. what options should I consider in choosing a realtor. I have no friends who are realtors. I have a few recommendations. But how would I narrow the ONE. Are there websites that rate the realtors? Like CNEt for electronics or rate my professors for professors, are there any websites with the realestate agent reviews or rating. Any tips in helping choose a realtor is greatly appreciated.
I am looking for one in grand rapids michigan.

There are no sites that rate realtors.

I would pick a realtor and use them a day BEFORE you sign a buyer broker agreement. OR sign the buyer agreement for a one day period only.

Treat the one day they take you out as a job interview. Did they ask you questions about what you want in a home, area, price, etc. And then did they show you want you wanted and explain the questions you had.

can i use it and post it on craiglist, if so what section is supose to be on, is it realestate by broker.

You cannot post MLS listings from other agents/brokers without their permission. If you get permission you would post it under the for sale by broker section.

Here are a couple of email addresses to get you started. Send them a short message that you want their fliers on their offerings on where to invest.

i need a document to prove that they bought realestate off of me the amount they paid and where it is and signature

Any sale of real estate should be recorded with the county. If you sold the property privately and did not record the sale, you could have problems.

Do you have a bill of sale or other document relating to the sale? If it was a cash transaction, do you have a copy of the check that they used to pay you? If the purchase was financed by the person who purchased it from you, you might want to check with their lender.

Most real estate sales are handled either by title companies or a real estate lawyer. If you did one of these options, then you should have a closing statement. Contact the title company or real estate lawyer who handled the sale and they should be able to provide you with documents to prove that you sold the property and were paid for it.

I am yet to meet one who cares.
I Rent and buy, depending on work.
I am very upset every time I have to deal with one.
Is it a qualification to be to apply?
Do they have to make sure every customer knows that they are below society?
One even treated me like dirt, when I asked for them to manage one of my rental properties.

Real-estate Agents are a dime a dozen, anyone can be one, yet they all display "Qualities that they are above everyone Else"

What’s your excuse?
Finally after years of brainwashing, they are gods gift, earning $150K??
Is that it?
Majority are from broken households, and did not have professional parents. Does the suit, make them feel so much worth, it’s uncontrollable??

You’re not sounding very happy.

I’m not a real estate agent – here is my guess:-

Some probably didn’t quite treat you well because they themselves were not paid well for managing rental properties. You know, the usual overworked underpaid. There’s only so much a staff member can handle. Nothing much you can do about this.

Some who still treated you bad when you buying – it’s probably because you didn’t buy a million or two million dollar worth of property. I bought a very cheap property in the past. And yes the agent treated me like I was some stinky rubbish…… (not quite sure how to describe it but you know what I mean). Cheap property = low commission. *shrug* what can you do?

I think it’s not limited to Real Estate agents – I think it’s all sales persons to a certain degree. RE agents also not to all RE agents. You serve people who bring you the most money…

Was wondering if there is a rental property insurance that owers can have that can cover multiply properties under one policy then have one policy per property.

Yes, of course. A commercial property policy can list hundreds of locations on it.

That "one property per policy" bit is for amateurs, who only own one or two rentals, and own them in their personal name.

I have a one year but the commision is 6% probably more than I will make after closing sale…
They are not what I expected , 4 months no showings, other agents showing thats another commission can I at least renogotiate a smaller commission in this market CALIFORNIA…

Granted, commissions are negotiable, but if you negotiate lower than 6%, you are shooting yourself in the foot. The vast majority of realtor listed sales involves 2 office; listing and selling. Presuming a 50/50 split that’s 3% for each office. A reasonable amount. However, if you lower the total commission, the share to the selling office will not be very attractive and many agents won’t show property with a low commission. You want to do just the opposite. Offer a bonus if the property is under contract in X number of days.
