Buy My Home FastFast Solutions for Selling Your Home

We stopped in at a brokers’ open house at Lexington Square townhomes in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood, and asked half a dozen real estate agents to tell us their favorite things about Bridgeport. There were a few recurring themes: location, neighborliness and value, price levels the agents perceived as half of comparable new townhomes in Hyde Park or Lincoln Park.

Question by : Are there any company’s like “We buy houses” that actually work? Has anyone actually used one of these?
I have a house in North Carolina that I need to sell ASAP. I have moved out and all rooms are empty. Are there any REAL company’s that will actually buy your house? I need some public advice here. The house has been up on the market for almost a year now!!!

They are real, you can verify any. They will pay you 60% of the appraised value of the property.

Question by jojox11x11x11: Do I need like a permit of license to have like a “mini garage sale inside my house”?
Okay this is kind of wierd.
I want to sell some stuff, but its always rainy nowadays and my parents are always busy so they can’t help me with a real garage sale.
In my basement, I gathered a some stuff I don’t want and need and I want to sell them when we have family parties.
Let’s say like my aunts uncles and cousins come over , i would set my stuff up, and they can buy stuff. It’s insde my house, just for my family. Can I do that? I’m 12. And do I need a permit?
Thanks, and its only like if there is holidays or birthdays at my house. not just a part y to buy stuff.! lol

You don’t need a permit if you’re selling things just to family.

Have you discussed this idea with your parents? They may not want to invite their family over for a party, only to have them find out that they’re expected to buy things once they get there!

Question by baby garbo: i feel like my sister is only there for me when it’s convenient for her?
i love my sister, we have been best friends our whole lives. but when she developed a drug addiction – our lives were torn apart. eventually, she recovered, but during her addiction and recovery – she did some crazy things. throughout this time, we shared an apartment and after our lease was up, my husband and i bought a home and she moved in with us. even though we had a new life, a new baby and were nervous about the consequences of having someone with such a recently crazy past (and a crazy stalker ex boyfriend) move in with us – she is my sister. and i believe that family doesn’t abandon each other. fast forward about 1 year and she has a new boyfriend. she is still living with us. one day, my car breaks down at the store and i call her to come pick me and my son (her nephew, godson) up. she tells me that she can’t because she is about 40 minutes away picking out new tile with her boyfriend and traffic will be too difficult. about 5 hours later, my hungry son and I get home afer having the car towed to the dealership and geting a ride home (from the dealership taxi). (my husband couldn’t help because he is a firefighter and was at work that day/night). i was so mad. several days later, we had a talk and i let her know that i thought it was time she considered getting her own place (ok – maybe not that nicely, but i was mad). we didn’t talk for 3 months, finally we talked again but she moved in with her boyfriend 3 months later. fast forward to last month and she invites us to an outdoor afternoon concert. i tell her that i would love to go (there is a band playing that we both love) and i ask her if we could all ride together because my husband will be working and parking at the location is tough. i let her know that would be happy to go with them and i can put my son’s car seat in their car (they have a huge SUV) or i would be happy to drive and they come with us. she never writes me back. (this conversation was via e-mail) we’re at my parents a couple weeks later and i ask about the concert and she says “oh – we are taking the motorcycle – it’s so much faster”. she totally ditched me and my son AGAIN!! after she INVITED us!!! these are just a couple of the incidents that have occured that seem outright selfish and mean to me. am i wrong to feel this way? i want my sister to be in my life and the lives of my family (husband and son) but i hate that she consistently makes me feel like i’m chopped liver!!! what can i do to improve this situation so that we can remain on good terms but i don’t feel walked on? thanks for your help!

Question by Susiepolls2008: Would Reid call these recent economic indicators as more “good news” like he did the loss of 36,000 jobs?
On the real estate front, new home sales are collapsing again, existing home sales are also falling sharply and construction activity (both residential and commercial) is sharply down.

Durable goods orders are down, and initial claims for unemployment benefits remain stubbornly high (way above the 400,000 mark).

Real disposable income for Q4 has been revised downward while real disposable income (before transfers) for January was negative again.

How to Look for a Real Estate Agent You Like

What if you knew how to easily locate the right real estate agent, one that puts your interests first. Use my tips and advice to decrease the stress of buying a home and find the best real estate agent for you.

I certainly understand if you question why I believe I know what constitutes a good real estate agent. I would wonder if I were you.

Here is the answer. For more than 28 years, my husband and I have helped people buy homes. Since I left off being a kid, residential real estate and mortgage financing have occupied my life. I was a licensed real estate agent in the first part of my career and the owner of a mortgage company the last part of my career.

Most people will buy one home, maybe two. Others may purchase an investment or vacation house. In most cases you are going need the services of a qualified real estate agent. And yes, choosing a good real estate agent is crucial.

Instead of listing warnings, do’s and don’ts, allow me to share how I interview and choose a real estate agent.

Number one on my list is to find an individual who makes me feel at ease. Buying a house can be difficult and exhausting at times so why complicate it by employing a real estate broker you don’t feel comfortable with.

It is a shame how many home buyers I observe working with agents who are not matched well to them. The dissatisfaction is discussed for weeks, months and sometimes years after moving into a home.

I believe that buying a home should be fun and exciting. After all it will probably be the most significant and most expensive purchase that you are ever going to make. So why not work with someone that you feel comfortable with since you are likely to be in contact with them on a daily or weekly basis for several months.

Second I am looking for an agent who has my best interests in mind. But how do I know if a real estate broker is truly interested in my personal well being and not simply concerned with making the sale? There are several indications.

Does this agent listen to me? If your agent doesn’t directly address your concerns and questions, this may not be the real estate agent for you.

Does your prospective real estate representative talk first and ask questions later? This is another indication of whether your best interests have been kept in mind. Every great agent listens to what’s on your mind after they ask what is important to you.

A thorough agent will always ask you a lot of questions before ever offering to take you out to view houses. You see, a real estate agent is a valuable asset and they know that your time as well as theirs is valuable too. So they are not going to waste your time showing you houses that you can’t afford or don’t fit your circumstances.

Even though it can feel a little uncomfortable, anticipate a trained agent inquiring into your finances. This is the type of real estate agent I look for.

Some agents give advice without taking into consideration your circumstances. A good agent doesn’t give advice but instead presents options. Your agent should be solution oriented by presenting you with choices that allow you to select what you feel is best for your particular circumstances. Watch for and choose a real estate broker who considers options based on your needs rather than theirs. Above all never feel rushed to make a decision.

High on my list when I interview real estate professionals is watching for individuals who admit when they are unsure of an answer to my question. No matter how experienced a agent, no one has all the answers. So when I ask a question and I hear the words “I don’t know” followed by “but I will find out” it is refreshing. Possessing every answer is not what I care about. That is why I rarely decide on a broker based on age or even experience. A real estate broker with enough enthusiasm and energy to do that little bit extra is who I pick.

Even though it will be your home and a place to live, central to every transaction is money. Although a real estate agent isn’t qualified to approve you for a mortgage, it is still important to be asked about your financial ability such as how much money you have saved for down payment and closing costs.

Top real estate agents know from experience that mortgage financing is the hub of every real estate transaction. As a home buyer, protect yourself by understanding the cost before going out to view houses and especially before you make an offer.

A good agent can help you with this too or you can simply contact a licensed mortgage broker who can prepare a Good Faith Estimate of Closing Costs. If you are comfortable asking your real estate agent, most can refer you to a couple of mortgage brokers for detailed estimates of mortgage costs for your comparison. It is critical that you know what costs to expect before you shop for a house and especially before you make an offer.

Lastly, remember that buying a house is your decision. Take responsibility for your decision by seeking advice from people you like and feel can trust.

I often say when it comes to buying or refinancing a home, it is your house and your mortgage, no one is going to care about it more than you.

if you look at the economic indicators everything still sucks and the bull market in the DOW isn’t backed up by a sound economy so it can go down just as fast as its going up ie a bubble so now Demos you got your progress is it finally Obamas economy now and if it takes a nosedive again will it still be Bush’s fault?
