These estimates can be way off. Case in point is my former DC suburban house. You can see the sale when I bought it and the sale when I sold it (about 1.5 years). BOTH times the Redfin/zestimate was way high from the actual market transaction price.

Updates from my RE BS. My insurance company is handling the slip-n-fall claim and should be an easy fix without an at-fault or negligence on my behalf. Still can’t believe this person is even getting the time of day... On selling the house, I’ve essentially sold my VA house 3 times. Went under...

An update on our real estate BS. After our buyers backed out 1 week before closing (we still don’t know why), we were still able to go forward with buying and moving into our new, current house down here in Hilton Head. We put our house on the actual market and it’s working through the process...

6 damn days away from closing on selling our DC home and the buyers call up and want to cancel the contract - they want out. Talk about a gut punch this morning. They are within a statutory HOA certification period too so they legally can without recourse, unfortunately says the attorney. Such a...

I used their quote to negotiate with other lenders. Got Quicket/Rocket to rate match and lower the costs.

Thanks - we’ve been waiting for this for a while now. Couldn’t wait to get out of the DC burbs. Pandemic ruined it for us, well so did the people and traffic. Haha

Just came to a deal on selling our house out here in DC burbs. Found the buyers on Facebook and selling for $90k more than we bought it for just a year ago. No agent fees saving me almost $50k, no inspection contingency, and we close in a month. Now to put the offer in on a house down in the...

Glad the sellers came down and worked on the price with you. Congrats on getting the deal done! Appraising is educated guessing and to be honest, I have a full career because of this. But I have to say residential appraising is the bottom of the barrel...

Imagine if you brought a black light with you on the home tour....

So true. I’m waiting for official word any day from my company that my job is going fully remote. Then we’ll sell this place ASAP and benefit from the high prices, especially after buying this house only 7 months ago... Then off to coastal living for us.

Had this happen on the house we bought back in June. Purchase price was $740k, appraisal came in at $715k. Sellers wouldn’t work with us since they would get another offer the next day out here. We did everything we could to ‘appeal’ the appraisal but the appraiser just sat back and said it was...

Geneva house closes without a hitch, whereas when we bought it, the sellers were a mess so I was expecting something similar when I sold for the first time. Nuttin'. Thanks and yeah, we've moved a bit recently but every move has been great for my career and financially for my family. Arkansas...

Hell of a week; movers packed and loaded this past Monday and Tuesday, we close (sell) on our Geneva home today, and we close (buy) on our new AR home tomorrow. Then wife and kids fly down Sunday and movers unload on Monday. It's been a while since I've been this stressed...

Selling my house in Geneva was a nail bitting when it came time for the appraisal. When the appraiser came to the house, he told my realtor that his review of the comps put the value 35k short of the contract price (went under contract for list price in 1.5 days). And I bought for 20% less, less...

Yep, moving on down to northwest Arkansas.

Nice, congrats again! We're going through selling our home and buying out of state currently. So much stress...

Nice! Definitely know which closet is not yours :rofl:

btw, if anyone is looking for a home in Geneva, I'm going to be listing mine soon... :)

I'm sure your house would sell quick. There a lot of reports of low inventory of houses like yours. I even see many realtors on local facebook groups seeing if anybody is thinking about listing because they have clients that are waiting for houses to go on the market. Whatever you decide, good...

Wow, I can almost hear the screams from the 1 million trees that were cut down to build that place.
