Real Estate

I’ve been advertising my apartment to try to re-let it for a new 12 month lease in preparation for a relocation due to work. It has been going moderately well in that a lot of people have been interested and come by. But i found out the other day that when one couple i gave applications to went to turn them in to the realty company, they took them back to the building to show them other units and even offered them deals to cut the price. Now, clearly this is immoral, but does anyone who knows something about this type of thing know if it is illegal, and could i use it to negotiate breaking my lease?

EDIT:
In response to some of the answers, the couple told me *specifically* that the realty company tried to convince them to move into a different unit.
Also, how am I supposed to do the vetting when they require SS Card, copies of your DL, 2 pay stubs, etc.
This is for a *new* 12 month lease which will cancel my existing lease. I can’t act as a middle man between them and the owners.

Search your phonebook for local attorneys who SPECIALIZE (be sure of this, this is going to come down to specific laws, and other attorneys wont have as much experience) in Real Estate.

I have a buyer for a piece of property. I don’t have a contract written up yet with a lawyer. What should I have buyer sign and should I get a small down payment until papers a re ready? How would I write this receipt up?

it is called earnest money. i would go to legalzoom.com and look for a land contract. it is the document you are looking for and they are cheaper on that site than going through a lawyer.

your borrower, if they are getting a loan, will be helped by the loan officer as well. title company will still be involved to protect you both.

good luck

This is the Realtor HUD and Bank Repo site..You can even set up the site to e-mail you with listings in your area as they become available…

www.Realtor.com

May also be a place for you to start and you can look for the key words…ie…fixer-upper, handyman special, needs TLC…Or you can call a local Realtor and ask them to e-mail you information on homes like that in your area..ss

I’m considering placing a bid for a property in my subdivision that has recently gone up for auction. The auctioneer website lists this property as a "Resale". I’m trying to figure out what this means.

Either they’ve tried to sell it before at auction or it’s an REO property. The only way to know for sure is to ask the company. Does it really matter?

As far as education goes…also, if you have experience in this area, please explain how to go about obtaining your license.

Thanx

Depends on the state. One tip I can provide you for any state is that you should look into who is hiring and who you want to work for ahead of time. They will usually have a real estate licensing school of their own. If you sign up with them, they pay for post exam costs such as the fingerprinting, application fee, etc.

I have a realtor that said they could sale my home for 5% and then another for 4%. Is there anything else that I can get a realtor to come down on, that will benefit me on my return?

4% is probably the cheapest you can get with traditional listing broker arrangement. I think it’s pretty good. Basically, 3% goes to the broker who brings in the buyer and the remaining stays with the listing broker. If you want, you can find a help-u-sell or some other self sell real estate service in your area who provides with flat fee, multiple listing service access and signs. You will need to do your open house and showings. If the market is good in your area, with or without the listing broker, your house can be sold.

I am doing a project for school and I am looking for charts, graphs, and information about office space rentals by realtors. Any assistance will be appreciated.
I am looking for charts, graphs, anything that will show positive effects of real estate in an office building. I know this sounds ridiculous but it is for school like I stated before.

I’m not exactly sure what you are looking for but here are some good sites:
www.costar.com
www.loopnet.com
Grubb & Ellis, and Cushman and Wakefield, both publish reports about the office leasing industry. Look for links like "Research", "Reports" or "White Papers".

Realty Trac team is a Real estate company, (I think that they are a real estate comany), who provide a person withthe forclosuer list for seven days. after that I believe they charge a monthly fee for thier service.

Most foreclosure sites are notoriously inaccurate, even if you pay for them.

Contact your local office that deals with foreclosures for a more accurate and free list of pending foreclosures.

who owns : Netwide Pty. Ltd.
how much they earn ….. not a verifieable answer
