This real estate agent is in NY. They have lied about conditions in the house, they have lied about telling the seller that things need to be done before closing, and they have yelled at me and insulted me saying that I am young and I ask too many questions. I have basically had to do everything myself and they treat me in a way that they would never treat anyone else of a older age. Who do I contact?
I am in the market for a home and found one through an open house. My real estate agent, who I haven’t worked with in 9 months, isn’t very good. My question is, should I contact her to negotiate my offer? Should I ask an out-of-town real estate relative? Or look for a new one in town?

I have already selected a house but I need help with closing, offer and inspection of the house. What type of real estate agent should I look for?
What I mean by this is, after working and saving some money from a previous career, how can you go about making a nice income in real estate? Should you get some type of related education and join a company? Would buying property and renting it out generate the most income?
How do some people do very well in this field of work and is it possible for the average person to make a high income from it?
Thanks : )

Is this career a good choice? If not, please let me know what career in real estate would be a wise choice. Thanks.
Can a collection agency have a levy or jugdement place on real estate property and personal property owned by the debtor? The propery foreclosed on the 1st lien but the 2nd is still outstanding (currently in collections). The property is located in SC but the debtor works and live in NC? Also if the debtor is 50% owner of his personal home and the other 50% belongs to the wife, can jugdement still be placed on the personal home?
I have been doing research about real estate investing and have a few questions about the process. Is the first thing I need a broker, banker, or a seller? Do I need to see mortgage company or can I just take a loan out form the bank? What kind of down payment do you need? Does anyone have any information about tax break, cuts, or property taxes regarding real estate. Any additional information would be helpful, I’m still in a learning phase.
Thank You

How one can earn and generate money by running and promoting a real estate business website. What are the ways to make good money out of such a website?

My company provides equity to Real Estate Developers and Builders who need funding for “ready-to-go” projects. I would like to locate either a Discussion Forum or an online classifieds site – any resource/community for real estate developers.
Is there anything you search for and have hard time finding? I am building a real estate website for Tampa Bay area, and my goal is to have the most informative and useful real estate site.
My mother is planning on buying real estate with my grandmother and aunt. All three provides capital for down payment, grandmother provides the loan, and my aunt and grandmother live in it since the’ve only lived in apartments for the longest time.
This time they think they will just pick up a foreclosure…
The problem is that their plan is for the property to be split up when my grandmother dies. But there is ANOTHER aunt that could lay claim to the property after this AND the argument could deffinately be made that since my mother only provided an initial down payment and didn’t pay the mortgage she could easily lose out on the “1/3 share” of the property she thinks she will get. ALSO my parents don’t think these things out, they were originaly going to get land thinking in 5 years they will cash out not knowing much research goes into land speculation on top of the fact that they would have to be paying the mortgage, no renter, until they did sell it.
(Sorry its not that im stupid, the program just mixed up some of my paragraphs, the line about foreclosure goes here)… They think (because they told me) that you could get foreclosures for really cheap, like 150k off of market value. And I tried explaining that its simply not as easy as the late night infomercials make it sound but I’m their son so what do I know. They really think its going to be easy and nothing will go wrong but as with all things, especialy business between family members, this WILL go sour and I don’t want to see my parents burned. They won’t start an LLC, get a contract signed with all members, anything to cover themselves.
What on earth could I tell them to bring them to their senses? Websites or resources they can read so that they know that they really need to treat this as if they are dealing with non-relitive investors?
I’m a young man looking for a quality job, and I want to know if starting a job in real estate is a good option. Please write back.
I am a first time buyer and I want to know the responsibility or perpose of my real estate agent. I have one already but she seems to know less than I do about purchasing a home. HELP!
I know in some states you’re required to work for 2 years as a salesperson before being “allowed” to become a broker. In Illinois, is it possible to skip the whole sponsoring thing and go directly from getting a sales license to taking classes for a broker’s license?
Can your first EVER interview with a real estate firm be as a licensed broker, or are you forced to start at the bottom?

I live in CA, but my lease on my apartment is for another 6 months. Do you think the real estate market will keep decreasing, or rise any by then? I don’t think it could just boom overnight can it?
I’m thinking about going into the REAL ESTATE field and I would like to know the differences between a Realtor and A Real Estate Agent.
Also the pros and cons of the business.
I’d like to know what the job of a real estate sales agent consists of, what the start up costs are, and if i’m suited to actually practicing real estate.
As a Realtor it is hard to even trust that a deal will close now-a-days with the lenders going out of business and leaving buyers stuck out at closing. This has been a terrible experience for me.
Here in Houston mortgage brokers and loan officers are hurting and some are even given up. As a Realtor I have other options but rearranging my structure and client base will take me a minute to start building back up.
It would be interesting to know how others in the real estate industry are doing these days.
As the mortgage shakeout forces dozens of home lenders into bankruptcy, some are merely going into something like suspended animation — shutting down temporarily and hoping to escape intact once the crisis has run its course.

The total volume of subprime loans nationally fell less than 4 percent in 2006, even as defaults and foreclosures were starting to spike, according to data compiled by Credit Suisse. Some big lenders never really did apply the brakes: New Century’s loan volume was down a mere 1.3 percent through the end of February, or about two weeks before trading in the company’s stock was suspended.

Currently, I only know the tax appraisal 109K, from the home I am planning to buy.
(Home built in 2006, around 1500 sq)
How much of a difference can I expect from the real estate appraisal? Lower or Higher?
Are homes usually valued around the same as the tax appraisal?
What kind of problems can I face if the appraiser values the home too low or high?
The appraisal would be for the purchase of a home, right now the asking price is 96K( it’s a foreclosure).
I just need names of some of the biggest real estate companies in either Australia or the UK. I want one that is big enough to have its financial statements online. Please help!
I currently rent in San Diego, CA and I am thinking about moving. Without just driving all over California, how can I find out about areas, rental prices, housing prices, etc? Especially if I don’t know the names of the areas – Say, I am interested in moving north east of San Diego? Or, do I just have to go and look on a map and do a search for each and every city? Isn’t there a mega real estate web site that lists things for all of CA? Thanks!
Seriously. I know it can be done somehow. I can’t really afford to take huge risks with my money right now and I would love to be a real estate investor. Please help (and scammers don’t even bother posting!!). Thanks in advance!
What schooling do you have to go through to get a real estate license in California? Also, how long does the schooling take and what are the best schools, if any? Like just fresh out of high school, thanks in advance!
Our neighborhood has the design with an open space between the street and the sidewalks. All the home owners have landscaped these areas, installed underground sprinklers, etc. Our city also assigns home owners the responsibility for maintaining and repairing (when needed) the sidewalks in front of your home.
My thoughts are that the real estate agent needs to ask my permission to put a sign in the corner of my yard (between the street and the sidewalk), as this is part of my lot.
Am I off base here?
I should mention, the sign points to a house down the street, my house is not for sale!
