how to open the mls key box

Hey Thomas, Assuming you're speaking about Supra boxes, my mentor made a great video on this. I will attach it below. I hope this helps.

If you like an area with flood history, would you buy it if it’s “perfect”?

I would tell the buyer to view the area and access the previous flood situation because perhaps there is an area within the area that they like that actually didn’t flood or homes that didn’t flood. Then the buyer should get flood and other potential insurance coverage for such situations if they want that area and decide to purchase in that area.

Hello! I have a buyer who is under contract on a relo property. He is out of his option period. He received word yesterday that he is being promoted and transferred to their Savannah, GA. location. Is there any law that allows him to get back his earnest money since he is now being relocated? He does have a corporate letter showing the relocation order. \n

First and foremost ask your broker, and for future reference, get \"Let the Seller Beware\" by Reba Saxon. It will help a ton with these types of issues. Depending on the contingencies you put in the contract when you wrote it for them, more than likely yes. But honestly, your best bet is to level with the listing agent and ask them to help your client out, since this is not within their control.

We hustle everyday and when we stop, that\'s it. I\'d like to get the experienced agent\'s take on what their purpose for doing this business is and what they plan to do afterwards.\n\nIf you plan to do this forever, great but looking to hear from folks who are looking to do more than just be an agent forever. Thanks so much!

I was previously in new home sales and decided to try something different. I obtained my real estate license on a whim and signed up with a brokerage shortly after. My motive was that \"it sounded interesting.\" \n\nI see myself flipping properties in the future. I\'m a stager, so I might dabble in that as well. \n\nWhat about you? What do you see yourself doing in the future?\n\n

Or is showing a property a problem because of doors,locks.or access?

I find this question very interesting, because it happens more often than it should. It is always nice when agents leave notes giving you a heads up on little "issues" like that (a tough door/ or lock, multiple, locks, etc.) but sometimes that is not always provided, leaving the showing agent to be surprised as well. It happens! It's good to arrive early when possible.

We are planning to move into a house this year in Sugar land.

Hi Victor, Compared to this time last year we face a decline in new listings by 5 percent which means we're still experiencing low inventory. That being said I suggest investing sooner than later while there is still room for development and home prices are holding steady. There are factors that determine your qualification status. This includes your credit, down payment, and savings. I suggest you speak to a lender to see which loan program best fits you. Give me a call and I'll be happy to assist you further. 832-422-5175

My family have relocated to Texas for a job opportunity and we are looking for a real estate company or a realtor who excepts evictions for a rental home. We are currently looking for a three bedroom home in a good area, and we are willing to pay double the deposit if needed. Our sense of urgency is within the next three weeks if anyone can assist please answer. Thank you.

Congratulations on your new job opportunity and welcome to Texas! I'm sorry to hear that you have an eviction on your record. Unfortunately, this will make it more difficult to find a home, but there are still some options available. First, I would suggest that you reach out to a few different real estate companies and realtors to see if they accept working with families with evictions. It's possible that you may be able to find someone willing to work with you, especially if the eviction is 7 years out. Second, you might want to consider looking for private rentals. By going through a private landlord, you may be able to find a rental home in a good area and negotiate a double deposit if needed. Finally, it's important to remember that it may take some time to find a rental home that meets your needs. With that in mind, you may want to look into short-term housing options in the meantime. This could help you to secure a place to stay while you keep searching for a longer-term solution.

Please help me find a home thx

First, check the website of the Texas Real Estate Commission to see if they have any lists of realtors who work with these types of vouchers. Another option is to contact any local real estate offices you may have in your area and ask if they have any realtors who are experienced in Home Inc. Housing voucher. Most real estate offices will have someone who specializes in this type of voucher and they should be able to help you find a realtor who can help you. Finally, you can also reach out to any friends or family members who have worked with a realtor in the past. They may be able to recommend someone who is familiar with Home Inc. Housing voucher. Knowing your needs I would be happy to assist you in your house search using your voucher program. If you need assistance contact me at 832-294-3367/

I have a friend who I want buy a condo directly from. I trust him 100% and we're looking to fill out the form. He owns it fully and the bank is the same one he used to purchase it initially. So can we skip the Title Policy area of the contract? If so, what do we need to do?We're looking to just involve ourselves and the lending bank in the whole process.

It's important to understand the role of a Title Policy when purchasing a condo directly from your friend. A Title Policy will protect you in the event that any issues arise with the title of the property. It provides assurance that the title is valid and free of any liens or other issues. Even though you trust your friend, it is important to consider the potential risks of not having a Title Policy in place. When dealing with the lending bank, they will likely require that you obtain a Title Policy before they approve the loan. Without the Title Policy, it is likely that the bank will not approve the loan. To answer your question, it is not recommended that you skip the Title Policy area of the contract. It is better to be safe than sorry, and having the Title Policy in place will help ensure that you are protected in the event of any issues with the title.

Does the local (Brazoria CO., Texas) property tax rate change if the purchase price is half of the current value as accessed by the county?

In your local area, Brazoria County, property tax rate is based on the assessed value of the property, not necessarily the purchase price. The assessed value is determined by the county property appraiser and can be different from the purchase price. Generally speaking, if the purchase price is half of the current value as accessed by the county, then the assessed value will also be half of the current value and the property tax rate should not change. However, it is possible that the assessed value could be higher or lower than the purchase price, which could result in a different property tax rate. When disputing make sure you add nearby comparables- this data will support your dispute. If you need help with any transaction feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Buyer's Comment

Posted on 1 week ago

This sake was difficult being an older home but having a business inside. Fully understand it is a hard home with 9 rooms. He did a great job getting it sold. The buyer was super difficult to work with and caused issues all the way after closing. Gary remained calm and professional as I was stressing out. Appreciate his help greatly getting this house sold
