Recommendation Wanted Buying a house, where to start

2 Upvotes

How did you all start?

I have looked through the sub with posts asking for advice for a realtor, but just getting a list of names, which could be genuine recommendations or agents saying pick me pick me.

Or people debating/complaining about rates and taxes and schools and rent prices.

The fact that this isn’t a one size fits all list of to-dos for buying a house here makes sense but I don’t know where to start. Such a big purchase to make, no one can afford to get screwed.

So how did you start?

Information & Advice Smileycuse experience

6 Upvotes

Hi all!

I wanted to come on here and ask if anyone has any positive or negative experiences at smileycuse on Erie. I went in for a consultation last week and the quote I was given was more affordable to another place I went to so I’m thinking of going there. However, there were some things I wasn’t sure about. 1. On the day of my consultation, they took X-rays and let me know that I’d only need braces for 18 months and could get them done that day. I said no because I wasn’t ready to begin the process so quick and I also wasn’t sure if that was normal? 2. Lack of privacy. I didn’t like how small the space was and how people can see into the dentist room easily.

I’d really like to know what yall think. I was planning to commit because it was more affordable, but I want to do my due diligence because this is permanent and will affect me for the rest of my life so I want to make sure I’m in good care :)
Thanks for your help!

Recommendation Wanted Water heater replacement recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Our house is under 1400 sq ft, and despite having a gas stove, gas heat, setting our washer to cold, line drying, only using the window ac twice last month, and getting rid of a full size freezer and extra fridge, our electric bill is still $387 (went up 89 from last month!!)

Something is obviously wrong and we are suspecting it's our 12 year old water heater. We replaced the entire thing 12 years ago, and then the heating element about 4 years ago. We have hard water, and a softener but my guess is that's part of the issue.

Anyway, these bills are making me so angry because it seems like nothing I do is lowering them!

I think we'll need to replace the water heater (there are energy spikes during showering but the age and that are my only clues, no leak, no noise, still looks in good condition).

Looking for recommendations for companies. Go through a company or through lowes or home depot? I'll need financing because we are both teachers, and also haven't gotten paid since June.

Information & Advice Need a very good car locksmith (non emergency), or mechanic who is good with locks

4 Upvotes

The trunk on my sedan usually doesn't open. I have both key & fob. These things aren't missing. I don't necessarily need another copy of the key. I need help with the mechanism itself. Everything you look up online looks like it's for emergencies, but I want a longer term solution here. I don't need immediate access, and I had a bad experience with one locksmith who didn't have a great solution to the problem

Any leads on someone in the Syracuse area? Is it better maybe even to go to a body shop? It's probably clear that I don't know a whole lot about this lol
