I am planning on getting my license and was wondering if that will get in the way of it or of being hired by a real estate firm. Or if it will hinder the start of my career.

Thanks!

Rent Back

I placed a bid on 11/5 and was suppose to close 12/7. I asked the seller to repair the bathroom plumbing and still have not heard whether he has or not. My lawyer and real estate agent have spoken to him several time and he keeps on saying he will get us the info we need soon but never come up with it. What’s my next step???

As New Labour try once more to manipulate the statistics, in an effort to “Bluff” the public into the notion that all is well with the rate of crime in the UK, the daily news headlines make for grim reading. Do you think that New Labour have fulfilled their promise to be “tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime” – or do they just talk “bollocks”?

Here’s an excerpt from the WSJ’s op-ed page.
“Unfortunately, there is significant risk of a VERY BAD(italics mine)
period, with slow sales, slim commissions, falling prices, rising
default and foreclosures, serious trouble in financial markets, and a possible recession sooner than most of us expect. Deterioration
in that intangible housing market psychology is the most uncertain
factor in the outlook today(WRITER WAS EARLIER TALKING ABOUT BUYER EXPECTATIONS AND PSYCHOLOGY). Listen hard and watch out.”
My opinion is that it will be at least as big, if not bigger, than the dot-com bust…….thank my lucky stars I stopped selling real estate,
and now have a regular paying job. Who will possibly be left selling real estate in 2-3 years, and for what pittance of pay, if any?

A little birdy has mentioned Slipknot coming to Nottingham in either 2009/2010… if anyone knows about this then PLEASE tell me when or just tell me if they are i LOVE them!! Thanksssssssssssss mannnnn!!

Repossession

This is for a UK mortgage
This is an offer only for people who currently have mortgages with this company (who I don’t want to advertise!)…but generally you can get the fee added to the loan amount so you don’t have to pay it up front – obviously this is a bit of a scam and will cost you more in the long run, but it’s an option!

I am currently in a situation where my realestate agent has dropped the ball on many occassions. She blames every fumble on someone else (including me, my wife, and my mortgage broker). Her fumbles, as well as a couple by the mortgage broker, have caused the closing of my house to be pushed back by a few days. This also affects the seller since they can’t close on their new house until we are closed.

My question is, do we as clients have any protection whatsoever from an agent that has really failed miserably? Based on the contract, even if we cancel the contract we still have to pay her if we buy a house within 90 days of termination. How are clients protected from horrible agents or just bad agent mistakes and judgments? Her mistakes have contributed to the possible loss of the house and serious delays in closing. There have been may more fumbles along the way.
The main fumbles have to do with communication and education.

I will also say I am sure I made fumbles as well, but I rely on the “professional” to tell me what I am doing wrong or where I may slow things down.

- We were offered some repair money. My real estate agent stated we could find a way to get the repair money out of contract so I could take the money and do the repairs myself. Therefore doing more for less. When it was realized this couldn’t be done she quickly said “Well, the buyer brought it up so I was just checking.” She planted that seed and now I find out that can be related to mortgage fraud.

- The closing date was relying on contractor invoices, but due to her trying to find a better way, we didn’t get those done (my fumble, as I was relying on her information). We found out 2 days before closing that it couldn’t be done and this was after she said the seller agreed to it. So we had to scramble.

The others basically include VERY poor communication.
And you make a very good point about closing. I was under the impression a real estate agent was there to hold your hand during the entire process, including making sure closing and everything needed happened on time.

I can find a house on my own, I need someone that can help me through the rest of the process. If that isn’t what agents are for, then there is a much larger problem with the industry.
BTW, let me say. You guys have been great helping out! Thank you very much.

If you dont lose your job isnt a recession actually better? Prices keep coming down and your dollar goes much further. I have little chance of losing my job and honestly I hope this recession can last for years. Ive been able to buy everything at huge discounts this year.
