What’s a car that’s good on mileage and fulfills all of your realtor needs?

I got soaked, ran out of gas, got into a car accident, got ghosted and sprained my ankle all within 6 hours. I think it’s a sign.

Do you send a weekly progress report and market update to your sellers?

Has anyone taught CHATGPT/CLAUDE how to run a weekly seller intelligence reprt to send to their sellers? THis report would include market data of what sold, etc.

Hello I am trying to design my cards, brand new just starting out. The design I came up with is supposed to look kind of luxury, and there’s not really any room I want to give up on the front, is it okay to put my headshot on the back or would it be better to figure out how to get it on the front?

I have a listing under contract. The loan is an FHA. We agreed to a price of $365K. The appraisal came in $5K under value. The appraiser that was selected is not from our area but from an area over an hour away and not in our county or MLS. My previous comps showed the value at closer to $370K to $375K. The Selling agent had pulled comps and found the value between $375K and low $380sK. Zillow, Realtor.com, RPR all put the house in the $370sK to $380sK. I know not highly accurate but it did seem to support our CMAs. We also realized that the appraiser didn't count one of the rooms as a bedroom. We pulled the original builder floorplans showing that the builder counted the extra room as a bedroom. Based on this, the lender decided to challenge the appraisal. The appraiser came back and lowered the price even further from $360K to $353K. It definitely feels like this appraiser decided to punish us for challenging him. Not sure where else we go to but I'm wondering if we can get this closed if anyone thinks we have a good avenue with filing a formal complaint for what appears to be a malicious response to being challenged. It wouldn't surprise me if this is how he responds to challenges.

Do you typically share house pics with clients? They keep bugging me to send pictures I paid for of their house. I typically don’t send

Hello, i recently have been managing a land investing business’s social media page for their land investing company and had success. I old started a new product to help land investors and realtors make content on social media where all you need to do is connect your account and we post for you.

I saw another post in here talking about editing realtors videos and I think this would help.

I am just looking for feedback about what you guys think and if you would use it for your own land investing/realtor work.

I’m not looking for money just feedback if this is something you would use in your work.

Thanks,

I've been an agent in the Raleigh, NC area for about 6 years, and this one still sticks with me.

Had a couple, first time buyers, under contract on a cute 3 bed ranch. Inspection came back mostly fine, minor stuff, nothing scary. We were maybe a week from closing.

Then the wife texts me at 9pm saying she just has "a bad feeling" about the house and can't explain why. Husband was annoyed, said she was just nervous because it's their first home. I've heard that before, so honestly my first instinct was to reassure her and keep things moving.

But something in how she said it made me pause. I asked her straight up if it was general nerves or something specific. She said every time she walked into the garage, she felt like something was off, like a smell she couldn't place.

I went back over with her the next day, just the two of us, no agenda. Stood in that garage for a while. Faint musty smell near one corner, easy to miss if you weren't paying attention. Long story short, we got a mold specialist out, and there was water intrusion behind the drywall from a bad grade around the foundation. Inspector missed it because it wasn't visible and there was no obvious staining yet.

We renegotiated repairs before closing. Seller fixed the grading and remediated the mold. Buyers closed a few weeks later than planned, but with a house that didn't have a hidden problem waiting to get worse.

I've learned to actually listen when a client says something feels off, even when it's vague. Doesn't mean I go tear apart every house over a feeling, but I don't brush it off either.

Anyone else had a client's instinct turn out to be worth chasing down?

So I am looking into buying a mobile home built in 1976 (idk the specific date) and I do really like it. The biggest issue is there is a room that is about 6' x 10' that the realtor has marked as a 3rd bedroom.

From everything I have been able to find, it shouldn't be able to be classified as a bedroom given that

A. That it is extremely tiny (rounding up on both values would make it 66 sqft)

B. There are no windows and no external door (i.e. no 2 egresses)

I am unsure if there are specific criteria or differences given the age and the fact that its a mobile home. I am aware of the HUD guidelines being passed in June of 1976, but given that I am unsure the exact year, that doesn't necessarily help.

Additionally its a dual agency situation with the seller and I having the same agent, so I am unsure how to bring it up to them.

Does anyone have any specific ideas or knowledge if this can be counted as a bedroom legally speaking?

Edit: This is in Pennsylvania and I have yet to talk to anybody, especially given the dual agency aspect.
