Can I find a californian realestate agent to sell my arizona home?

November 19th, 2011

I would like to put my home for sale available to the residents of california who are looking to move to arizona. Is it legal to have a realestate agent from california sell my home in arizona?
Great thanks all.

Only if the agent you pick is licensed to sell real estate in both California and Arizona.
Usually a real estate agent is licensed to sell in one state only.
You would do best to list with an Arizona realtor, and ask them to advertise in California too.

How to check if coop connection or realty connection is legitimate or scam?

November 1st, 2011

I am looking for apartment and I find this place from Craigslist. I want to know how long has coop connection has been in business. If they are legal business?

Craigslist is full of scams.
Never give anyone any personal information online.
Never pay any deposits or give anyone account information
Only get an apartment if you can do a full walkthrough first, and ask the person showing you the place show your their ID to make sure it matches your lease paperwork. Do a background check on the property to see who owns it.
I’ve seen many, many scams where people give a deposit online, then get a key, and the key never fits the place

Banks, saved by the government, need to finance thousands of RealEstate now?

October 9th, 2011

RealEstate Progress will bring up the economy rapidly, but the banks need to corporate,
especially the ones that took buyout. This should be a part of the deal.

I am not sure what your question is, but your statement is far more perceptive than most I see on Y!A. The bailout itself was heavily tilted by the power, wealth, and political influence of its benefactors solely in favor of those benefactors.

The callous greed of these benefactors is evidenced in their obdurate opposition to any contribution on their part to rebuilding our economy. We helped the wrong people.

We would have acted much more prudently had we bailed out most of the people who have lost their homes to foreclosure. The banks and other speculators holding questionable mortgages would have been paid off and thereby avoided bankruptcy without the hundreds of billions we poured directly into their coffers. Millions of homeowners would still have their homes; these houses would not be flooding the market depressing the value of residential estate.

With millions of people able to keep their homes and their equity, personal spending would not have fallen as precipitously as it did. Portfolios would not have lost their value; as a result, the big banks, insurance companies, etc., would have remained solvent and would have been able to keep all (or most of) their employees. With more people able to spend money, fewer businesses would have lost their customers. With more businesses solvent, fewer people would have lot their jobs.

The bailouts accomplished very little beyond quickly restoring to a few ultra-rich speculators and to monopolistic Corporate America the wealth (and much more) that they had lost in the early part of the recession. Now these corporations sit awash in $2 trillion, which they do not invest, their promises to do so notwithstanding.

We can still salvage our economy. Since the greedy elite will not invest this immense treasure without assurance of immediate profit, we should take much of that idle capital through taxation and spend it on rebuilding and modernizing our infrastructure. Doing so would not be MAKING work; it is doing work that is long overdue. In the process, we could put millions of Americans back to work–and back to spending and restarting our economy.

Why do banks sometimes list foreclosed houses with fly-by-night realty companies?

June 15th, 2011

Most of the foreclosed (bank-owned) homes in Metro Detroit are listed with major chain realty companies (Century 21, Remax, Remerica, etc.). But some are listed with fly-by-night outfits that no one has ever heard of, and people at these offices can be extremely difficult to get a hold of (don’t answer calls, don’t return messages, etc), and have incompetent agents who couldn’t care less.

How can these outfits stay in business if they don’t seem to know the first thing about running one?

I have the same complaint! I will not even bother offering, there is no way that agent will close on the deal.

I am guessing the bank does not want to sell at this point in time and listing this way makes it appear like they are and they need that appearance for their insurance claim.

Is a realestate contract binding or void if the lender does not sign the borrowers copys?

June 4th, 2011

I helped my daughter purchace her first home. After one year she was unable to continue making her mortgage payments. We tried to get a loan modification but was denied. I reviewed the contract and noticed that the lender did not sign any of the documents.

The contract of sale would be signed by buyer and seller- not by mortgage company. Even if some of the contract paperwork is not binding for some reason- the fact that your daughter signed the closing documents shows that she was OK with what had been agreed.

If you are talking about loan documents that she got at closing- she may have gotten copies that were not yet signed by mortgage company at closing. She could have gotten copies later that had signatures- or the signed ones may have been sent directly to county. It is possible someone made a bad mistake- but not very likely. You would have to hire a good local real estate lawyer to get a good idea.

No generic answers please!

Keller Williams or Remax is about the best. Florida also has some small independent realtors that provide what your looking for depending on your area of interest.

Moving to Melbourne in May end and suggestions for a good neighbourhood?

February 22nd, 2011

Hello All,

I’m moving to Mel by the end of May with my partner and is looking for a place for medium term accommodation, like about 3 – 6 months. My rent budget would be around $200 to max 300 pw. What do we get in this price?

Major considerations while looking for a location would be;
- access to public transport as we’re not planning to buy car immediately
- safety
- cosmopolitan area

We’re fine to travel for 30 min – 1 hour for work if needed to.

One bedroom or even studio apartments would be fine. Any recommendations on which suburbs to look for? With no local rental history, how do we approach for obtaining a rental (I heard it is very difficult to get a house without history). What is your opinion about realestate.com.au?

Thank You
Thank you all for your valuable time. Your answers are really helpful.

@Danijel Jefic: I am into the field of social work.

@Merry: Loved your response, for its comprehensiveness.

Hi … I am going to work backwards through your question! :)

Yes – realestate.com.au is good – other’s I have used include www.domain.com.au but really they largely have the same properties listed anyway!

As for rental history -if you have rented were you are then ask for a written reference. If you have not rented before get a personal reference from someone you have worked for or someone who knows you well (this person should be a professional who is well regarded in your area – such as a Dr, lawyer etc)

As for somewhere within 30 + mins of the city that is reasonably priced – look at where you would LOVE to live then look at the suburbs boardering these (the rent is usually more reasonable) ie St Kilda is great – but boardering suburbs such as Caulfield, Carnegie and even St Kilda East are a little cheaper.
Richmond – consider boardering suburbs such as Abbotsford and Collingwood, Northcote and Fairfield.

Other suburbs which are nice on many levels and still reasonable in terms of distance to CBD would be Glen Iris, Malvern East & Chadstone (would highly recommend these areas!)

Your price range is quite realistic – however, finding short term rental can be tricky – "short-term" is anything under 12 months and MOST rentals are based on this time period – it is possible to get short-term, there are just less of these to choose from!

Hope this helps :)
