Hello fellow Realtors, has anyone submit an offer with KNOCK or RIBBON? This allows your buyer to be a \"CASH\" offer, thus getting your offers accepted. We are working with Ribbon now, but Knock has lower fees of $1450. Your input would be appreciated. Have a Great Friday!

I have only used Ribbon with my clients. I love the option and it's nice to stand out. Their fee is steep and wouldn't suggest the lease back and buy option from them.

I am so confused where to start. My house is flooded in Savanna Estate. I don\'t know if I should sell it \"AS IS\" or Should I rebuild it? Will it be worth to rebuild and sell it. I also need a place to live as i have been living with family at a brother house for 3 months now. Someone told me that I need Realtor for House Valuation if sell it \"AS IS\" VS selling it after rebuild. Also what type of professionals i need to rebuild the house? Are there companies provide written QUOTES on the entire rebuilding with LABOR/MATERIAL? I heard there is such a thing called General Contractor but i can not find any information on google. Do General contractors have all the required licenses to build or rebuild the house? such as plumbing, electric, roofing, etc etc? I am so confused. Really need Help FAST.

Hello Kashif,\n\nSo sorry to hear about your loss. This can be a confusing time. \n\nIf the house did get some water inside, you must have started the remediation process immediately. Otherwise mold can be a big problem.\n\nYou should have contacted your home insurance company and FEMA to get help with insurance and disaster recovery help. \n\nThere are two options you have:\n\n1. Contact a wholesaler. We know several wholesaler who can provide quote quickly and close in 7-10 days. Contact me for more information.\n\n2. Contact a general contractor and get a quote for remodeling. Most of the general contractors are very busy right now and the construction cost have gone up significantly. \n\nRyan Modi\nPattern Realty\nPh: (281) 236-4040\nRyanM@PatternRealty.com

I have an incredibly difficult client. They have cut off contact by phone, email or text. I have provided a completely acceptable contract they have refused to respond to, they will not authorize additional showings or sign the termination of listing. I have discussed with my broker but wanted other opinions. Not asking legal advise, just wanting to see if you have been through similar circumstances and how it was handled. It is my belief the listing contract has duties and expectations from both broker and seller. When one party does not hold up to their contractual duties, in this case multiple, at what point can the contract be terminated without mutual consent?

Have you checked if sellers have sold the house some other way without your knowledge? You might be entitled to commission if they have done so. \n\nIn this situation, it will be better to leave to your broker\'s discretion. He/she might seek legal advice on this matter.

Is there such thing as a legal definition for multifamily?

If you want a definition of the U. S. Census Bureau for multi-family, please see the link: https://www.economy.com/support/blog/buffet.aspx?did=8015A9FA-79EF-4EE6-BF79-C84EC932B331\n\nThe multi-family category includes all buildings containing at least two housing units which are adjacent vertically or horizontally. If built side-by-side, they (1) do not have a wall that extends from ground to roof, or (2) share a heating system, or (3) have interstructural public utilities such as water supply/sewage disposal.

Working with an investor who has some doubts about if the property that he is interested in is \"legally a multifamily\". This is because they tenants are sharing the cost utilities. Do we have any expects who can educate us on this?

Multifamily or single family? Real estate investors have been debating these two strategies for a very long time. Our company has invested in single families, small multifamily (1-4 units), mid-sized commercial multifamily (5-40 units), and large apartment complexes (40+ units).\n\nIt looks like your scenario is about small multifamily (1-4 units) where the utilities meter is only one but the utilities bills are split among tenants. This can be a good strategy for financing for the investors where they can still get conventional residential loans and also FHA financing with as little as 5% down. This can be considered single family property rented out to multiple tenants.\n\nIf the financing will be based on the property rental income, it is considered multi-family commercial property. This investing strategy gives the investor ability to raise the value of the property by increasing income or decreasing expenses.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nRyan Modi, MBA\nPattern Realty\nPh: (281) 236-4040

How do I find out exactly what is covered by maintenance fees?

The term \"maintenance fee\" is referring to the HOA\". A homeowners association strives to keep up the appearance and maintenance of a planned development.\n\nA property buyer within the development must join the association, pay regular association dues and abide by the regulations down by the association board. The officers of the association are regularly elected by a vote of all homeowners and have oversight over the general appearance, maintenance and repair of the development\'s common areas. \n\nYour Realtor can assist you in obtaining the list of what common areas within the community the HOA dues (the mandatory maintenance fees) are covering. You can also request to review a copy of the deed restrictions and covenants as well as a budget report for a community prior to going through with a purchase. The Texas Association of Realtors has a contract addendum, Addendum for Mandatory Membership in a HOA, that stipulates how a home buyer is to obtain the HOA information and who pays for obtaining this information.\n\nI hope this helps you.\n\nRyan Modi, MBA\nPattern Realty\nPh: (281) 236-4040\nPatternRealty.com\n
