we are under contract to buy a house. When realestate showed house it says no HOA’s on flyer and agent said there wasn’t any. when title search was done it was found,but the hoa it’s listed doesn’t have it on their paper agent said. can we get removed from the hoa. we really want the house but not HOA

HOAs are pretty powerful, I doubt you can op out.

However if you still have not bought the house you most likely can get out of the contract and get your deposit ot earnest money back.

So I can compare what it sold for previously and when, what they have updated and what they are asking for it now, so I know what to offer. Thanks

That is in the MLS, you agent can get it, it is not public.

it was built in 1910 it’s three beds,large kitchen,dinning room,den,living room and house stable it’s really cool http://realestate.timesrecordnews.com/realestate/Sales/Listing.asp?lid=392-96530 here a pic of the house

I would ask the listing agent to supply you sales comps, the home looks lovely but its always location, location, location,.

The reference to Zillow was good, however I have seen the numbers way off.

Ask the agent, how long has the home been on the market? How did the seller or agent determine price?

This will give you better insight.

This is a prime example at that price and today interest rate, its cheaper to own both in the short and long term

Best to you.

PS I like Texas and Louisiana

This Link below will take you to an Advocacy group that has designed a Pack of information and forms for requesting your Records from TICA (Tenancy Database) and also how to have your name removed from the record if it has been wrongly recorded.

Our house has been on the market for 3 months now. For the past month its been quiet. So we called our agent up and asked if he would come over and we could talk about what we could do to get people more interested in the house. He called back saying hes going to send a email. Ok. So his email was not even a paragraph which said either to lower the price or pay him more. We already told him that we cant sell the house for less then we paid for it. Even if its the same amount just not lower. And as for his commision he does it in 4 levels and we are at the 3rd. All he has done is put the house in the paper. People who did come were told about the house from their own agent. Why would we pay him top dollar to do nothing. How would you deal with this issue. Because its driving us nuts. He wouldnt even come talk to us face to face. The last time we saw him was when he listed the house 3 months ago.
the contract was for 6 months. So 3 more months to go.
with the levels he uses as commission is percentage you pay for his "efforts" . so as of right now we would be paying him 6% to sell the house. If we went to the top level it would be 7% total commisson.
Im from Canada. I understand the market i really do. Thats not my concern. My concern is the agent.

When does your listing expire? If it isn’t going to be for a while yet, ask for your listing to be cancelled.

I don’t understand about the 4 levels of commission & you are at the 3rd??? He has 4 different commission plans he offers to sellers based upon his efforts??? 6% total is common with 3% going to the listing office and 3% going to the selling office. If you signed up for something significantly less than that, I could understand his lack of creative marketing but not customer service. Something just doesn’t sound right with the 4 levels to me.

You need new life to be breathed into your listing & it’s stale with this agent. Relisting with another agent that will employ more creative marketing efforts will get you back on the hot sheets & back in prospect’s MLS listing carts.

Updated:
Good lord NO!!! He’s a crook! He hasn’t earned the 6%. Just out of morbid curiosity, how much of the 6% is he offering to the selling office?

Did he offer any type of service guarantee or customer service speel when you listed, like if you are not totally wowed/satisfied by my service you can…?

Not sure if that was the best way to phrase this question but ill explain: The house in interest is a REO property. Originally, we offfered on the house, it was accepted, we signed our portion of the addendums, and when we were waiting for the bank to sign their addendums the listing expired so apparently our offer was void. Then, we contacted the new listing realestate company, and made an offer, while we were waiting on the addendums to come back they called us and said that they did not want to do our fha 203k loan, and would drop the price by 10k if we did not. So we did what we could, and found a new route and the house would not be shown to any other interested parties. Then we get a call that the bank has recieved some cash offers during this time from people who never even got into the house. Since the cash offers were less but close to ours, they want to know our highest and best offer. What should i do? Is this even legal? Does it violate any fair housing laws or anything of that nature?
any help would be great!
Thanks

Yes, of course this is legal.

I do not know where you got the idea that property can’t be shown, but until there is a signed sales contract they are free to show and sell it to whoever they wish.

My house appriased at 110,000 2 years ago, since then we h ave completly gutted and renovated the following, master bedroom, bathroom, living room, and dining room. We have installed a secondary heating system. We have also added a 24 x 32 garage and a pool. along with replacing most of the electrical and plumbing. The best guess of what we have sunk in is between 40,000 and 50,000 just for materials. Our new appraial done last week only came in at 125,000. Can anyone explain to be how it is possible that I am not even able to recoup have of what we have put into the house. It doesnt seem to make any sense that putting that much money into improvements only yields a 15,000 increase in property value. That wont even touch what we have in the garagee alone. Should I order a second appraisal (the comps were on the other side of town) or have house values fallen that bad? The neighbors smaller house and smaller garage but similiar size lot is listed right now at 130,000.
So are you guys saying that a completly renovated 3br 2 bath house would have the same appraisal value as a non renovated 3br 2 bath?

Oh and I mentioned the neighbors house because they mentioned it to me telling me its hurting my value.

So adding a garage does not increase property value?

I am coming in late, after your additional comments.

Garages do not add $ value, although they do make selling easier.

The pool is a liability and decreases the value, as you lost land use and they are costly to operate. The pool is the reason your house is lower then your neighbors house.

You renovated the wrong things. The bathroom is good, but the kitchen would have been better then the bedrooms and the dining room. Unless you completely changed the flooring there isn’t that much to do to bedrooms.

Also, house prices were inflated 2 years ago, they have dropped to a more realistic amount in many areas of the country. I am in CA and they are 25% less then 2 years ago.

Will a realtor be willing to sign a contract that states their commission is anything above a certain dollar. I need to clear $300,000 so I want the contract to say that their commission is anything above $300K. So if it sells for $320,000, they get $20,000…if it sells for $301,000 they get $1,000. Would a realtor do that? Can they do that? I spoke with realtors and they say they would list it for $319,000 and I should have no problem getting $315,000.

This is a net listing and is NOT legal.

The realtor has no way to effect the market value of your home. It will sell for what it’s worth. Just because you ‘need’ it to sell for 300k doesn’t mean that it will.
