Where can I find a video on how to set up clients on automatic home search?

Hey Samanta, Great Question. I will provide a helpful video link for you.

Recently, I received a text message written in Chinese. I used Google translate, and his message asked if I am a Realtor in Houston. This person then went on to say he wants to buy a property for retirement. (Max price $2,000,000) I\'ve been communicating with this man for almost a week now, but I still don\'t know anything about him. We tried calling him and got a message that the phone was either busy or out-of-service. When I checked the number, it came back as registered to a 95-year-old man in Los Angeles named Anderson. He only communicates via text and says he is too busy to speak on the phone. I also sent him an identity verification request through HAR, and he has not completed it. He said he might have his wife complete the verification. The entire situation has been odd from the start. I need everyone\'s thoughts on this. Thanks!

We got like 100 of these texts in last 2 months but I think they use a translation program. Though it\'s in Chinese but that\'s probably an interpretation and a scam. We just delete all these text messages.

Where can I find Realtor Safety/Scam alerts?

check out https://www.safeshowings.com/free4me and https://www.har.com/memberonlyarea/dispShowPage/1136 . NAR also has a list that's very useful - https://www.nar.realtor/safety/resources-for-personal-protection

I like to keep a list of inspectors to give to my buyers. Though I have built a good list over the years I recently had to ask other agents at my office for suggestions because inspectors are either not available or have left the business or town.

Quality no but availabilty yes.

This is my first lease listing and I would love to know which important question's I should ask? Want to look experienced !

Treat a lease listing as a listing. There are specific conversations that you would need to highlight on the contract that may be over looked by the owner. Quick question you should ask and know the answers to if the owner doesn't understand. Will you self manage or will there be a property manager? If self managing requirements the landlord needs to abide by to be compliant. The animal agreement portion of the contract vs service animals. What does security deposit covers? Know what you're responsible as the lease listing agent the contract is black and white. We don't do property management unless we have a license to do so.

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

Hi Victor, Consider what you will be thinking a year from now. Do you wish you would have/could have bought a home a year ago? Under most circumstances it is best to by now, not a year from now. Especially in Houston and surrounding areas where our home values (historically) tend to have a slow increase in value rather than a steep or quickly increasing. We have had a much more stable real estate market than many others in the country. If you have any further questions about the real estate market or Sugar Land market specifically please let me know.

Hello everybody. We went under contract with a conventional loan third party financing addendum. Then client decided to go with a VA loan because of the lower interest rate. Now I need to modify this in the contract .What form do I use to make this amend , make this "switch" from Conventional to VA loan ? Thank you

According to the third-party financing on paragraph 2 Approval of Financing. As long as you obtain financing within the time frame stated you are ok. I personally would go the extra mile and inform all parties by email therfore if lender/Title would like an amendment it can be supplied. Since VA loans don't need a down payment sometimes they ask for an amendment that reflects that. If a wavier of appraisal was included with your conventional loan than you would have to have an amendment do address the terms that were agreed upon.

Hi I'm new in realty business, I wan to have more education about the open houses, sell my self out there

Superb advice by all professionals! Also, make sure you view all the Safety Videos on the HAR website. Teaming up with another Realtor during an Open House is always a good idea.

One for repairs, one changing the sales price due to appraisal, several for extending closing, and a few for monies that are going to be given by seller for living expenses to my buyer. Does one amendment override the other? I am asking because I hadn\'t ever dealt with suck a sticky mess. I had over 6 amendments, and I have no idea one would override the other, but per title it does. I have never heard this. Can someone please explain? If that is the case, how did the sales price and repair amendment not get X out? Any help is greatly appreciated.

While I’m not a lawyer, an amendment must clearly reference the affected paragraph(s) of an executed contract. Amendments are independent of each other. With that, Multiple amendments should only affect the specific paragraph/section identified in each amendment. If a specific paragraph is repeatedly modified through multiple amendments/agreement then the most recent applicable executed amendment stands. It is my understanding that you do not have to restate, “re-agree”, or re-execute prior non related modifications. Quite often we may have two amendments: change to closing date (paragraph 9) and then request for price change (paragraph 3). the second executed amendment doesn’t negate the first

Looking for recommendations and open to suggestions on how to handle the fence dispute with the neighbor. Shared fence and the neighbor has refuse to share the cost. The fence is in a desperate need of repair.

Unfortunately, regardless of who has the “good side” or “other side” of the fence, there is no clear ownership or responsibility for a fence that is positioned on the property line. Fences can be costly so one should obtain a written agreement for cooperation before encountering any expenses. I agree with creative financing. Possibly one person pays or finances the material and the other pays for the labor or if professionally installed, ask for installments billed separately. People have a tough time admitting that they don’t have cash readily available so I agree with offering them options and empathy and finding a solution where they still pay for their half

I can't recommend this agent highly enough When other realtors were turning me away because I asked for too much, she worked relentlessly to find a place that accepted me. She was patient with my picky location requirements and still managed to close the deal. On top of that, she successfully negotiated lower rent and got rid of the double deposit requirement. If you need an agent who will fight for you, this is the one
