lol ill pass! thanks though

Because buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make and is nothing like spending a couple hundred dollars on a washer and dryer and actually you would probably ask the people at the store for advice on which to buy snd why. Buying a home is expensive and you do not want to get into something thats not a good investment for you and your family. There are lots of disclosures you should understand, understanding what the comps are so you are not over paying, negotiating to make sure you are not spending too much and the loan process is a whole other thing, making sure there is no liens on your home and that issues are disclosed by the seller in case any big issues come up. Its not just about finding a house you like.

@@livinginnortherncalifornia Attorneys check to see if there are liens on a home. Agents don't have that skill. Accountants handle the closing. Agents don't have that skill. Professional appraisers handle appraisals. Agents don't have that skill. Homes sell themselves. Agents open doors. Landian's $49 door opener fee is a fair price. Paying an agent thousands of dollars to open a door is silly. Traditional Realtors are worthless in this new environment. I took six years of woodworking in junior high & high school. I also worked a couple summers during college as a home builder. Most agents don't know a 2X4 from a jigsaw. Getting a Realtor title takes no special skill other than paying $$$ to their cartel leader (NAR), each year. They gotta keep the Mob Boss happy. NAR used this money to pay off Washington politicians to keep the rigged system in place. It worked, for years, until now.

Ok thanks!

@@livinginnortherncalifornia Dear. Also I have audited your channel and created a report. I want to show you, but how can I contact you ? Thanks

My listing agent did nothing to get my home ready to sell, other than listing it in the MLS. How long does that take? An hour? And my agent didn't have to 'deal with me', as I was already on my way to my destination city. But, I agree with your WILDLY OVERPAID statement, except BOTH listing and buyer agents were WILDLY OVERPAID. This scheme that was designed by the big boys at NAR (National Association of Realtors) are probably still laughing at how successful this scheme was. 99% of agents still don't fully understand the rigged system, or they are pretending they don't. In 2008, when I was shopping for my current home, I called the listing agent and asked if I could see my home without having to 'hire' a buyer's agent. The listing agent said, 'no', without explanation. I was desperate to get into a house in my new city, so I didn't ask for further explanation. I had suspected price fixing from this industry, as I had heard coworkers complaining about exorbitant agent fees, for decades. I remember getting off the phone and saying to myself, 'HOW DO THEY ENFORCE THIS?' At the time, I didn't know there was a corrupt organization known as NAR. I now know they enforce the corrupt scheme very simply: they make a rule that the seller pays the listing AND buyer agent fee. And force the buyer to 'hire' an agent, supposedly for FREE, which is a lie, as all fees end up in the sale price. This scheme led to the largest financial crime in U.S. history. Yeah, I'm upset about it.

I would have to say that a buyers agent does and should do alot more than just driving around and opening doors for clients. There are alot of negotiation, making sure that the buyer understand what they are getting themselves into, legal documents to make sure that the buyer is not getting into something they will regret in the future and so much more behind the scenes that most people do not see and hear about. I do know that not all Real estate agents are the same and I will have to agree that there are some that do the bare minimum.

Not to mention, the educational requirements to be an agent are nearly nil. They've been able to charge heart surgeon rates, for decades. Heart surgeons have to go to school for years, followed by residency, put themselves in extreme debt and put up with insurance companies, along with risk of getting sued when a patient dies. In my state of Texas, agents can be a high school dropout. The training requirements are 15 days of training and passing a single test. It's my understanding that this training is mostly geared towards teaching agents how to avoid litigation (ironically). Thankfully, this rigged system has finally been exposed by our courts. The Missouri juror's GUILTY verdict was a unanimous vote.

@@larryjones9773 Dude in California I literally studied for 3 days and took the exam and easily passed. The Broker exam was a bit harder but the basic Real Estate Salespersons license was easy to get. There were people in the office who would refer to a lot of agents as “idiot agents” because so many of them do not know wtf they are doing, but are racking in commissions which in my opinion is them sticking their hands in the home owners pockets. Glad things are changing

@@jaymeez The illegal price fixing scheme was simple, yet brilliant. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has 455,000 agents. I'm sure Warren fully understands how this scheme works. You would think a billionaire, at some point, would start feeling guilty about stealing money from America's homeowners. But, apparently not. It's not like Warren needs more money. He already has more money than he'd ever need and he's 94 years old.

Sorry to hear about your experience and unfortunately you should have been informed that commissions are negotiable on all sides.

@@livinginnortherncalifornia I knew commissions were negotiable. In order to avoid steering, I had to pay the higher fee. Agents are unindicted co-conspirators in the largest financial crime in U.S. history.

@@livinginnortherncalifornia I knew agent fees were negotiable, but I decided to pay the higher fee to avoid the rampant steering that your industry participated in. The new, unrigged process, will discourage steering, which will drive agent fees downward. Under the old rules, I'm sure you were reluctant to show a home to a prospective buyer, if your fee was lower than other homes. You discriminated against that home seller. That was the essence of the last five years of litigation. You were operating in an illegal cartel, whether you knew it or not. Your cartel leader (NAR) encourages agents to say that commissions are negotiable, which you are complying with. It's true that agent fees have been negotiable MINIMALLY. The average under the rigged system was 5.5%, which is WILDLY INFLATED. You will now have to participate in an unrigged process, just like every other industry has to. An Australian broker testified at trial and explained their unrigged process. He was shocked at America's rigged pricing. He said, 'do you guys not have the Internet?'. The Internet replaced buyer agents throughout the world. This didn't occur in the U.S., due to the rigged process. Buyer agents should have gone extinct like travel agents did, once we had access to the Internet. Do you remember using a travel agent?

@@larryjones9773Actually while some agents may have been reluctant to show lower paid commission homes, we have never avoided any. Like I mentioned, not all Realtors are the same.

@@livinginnortherncalifornia Many documented cases of steering were presented at trial. It's only human nature to show homes that pay the buyer agent a higher fee. The system was rigged by the big boys at NAR. You've already mentioned that under the new process that you'll recommend that sellers offer to pay the buyer agent's fee, in order to get more prospective buyers. That's a form of steering. Other sellers that don't realize they should do this, will be discriminated against. I suspect that nearly all agents were involved in steering in the rigged process, which is why the discount brokers couldn't compete and would be forced out of business.

Best of luck with that plan

You are correct, it all comes down to the sellers net but one of way of looking at this is there are going to be alot of buyers that want and need representation, as a seller who choses not to offer this concession for agent commissions could potentially lose a good amount of buyers who are able to purchase your home because they cannot afford to pay for their buyers agent which could result your home to sit on the market longer which leads to drop in sales price.

@@livinginnortherncalifornia As I said below, 'I'll broadcast that I'll pay for buyer agent fees, in order to get more prospective buyers.'

Thanks for catching that, I meant to say 2000 not 2010. And it also depends on the builder. Some builders in some areas will actually pay that. But for the most part it’s passed on to homeowners.

No flood insurance that I know of in W Sac but Natomas does

Our pleasure! 😁

Hi! I think we talked on text over the weekend. This is something that will need to be negotiated before signing any contract. I highly recommend having a Realtor negotiate in your behalf who is very well versed with New Construction.

@@livinginnortherncalifornia thank you!!! You are amazing! The realtor that you set me up with is amazing. If anything comes up in the future, I’ll go with him 100%. It’s just that the builder wants me to work with their preferred realtor and the incentives are unbeatable. I’m negotiating the cost of solar at the moment. They didn’t get back to me yesterday. Hopefully they get back to me today.

Thank you for sharing your insight on Woodland. Its helpful to other people to hear from people have lived in these areas that can share their experiences

So sorry to hear that! Unfortunately, not alot of Realtors are familiar with the new builds sale. But he sounds like he was just not even trying at all. Thats why we tell people to make sure to find a Realtor who really knows the new build process. For us, we are hands on through the whole process and even help explain the loan process because the builders lenders get busy with all the loans from the community so they sometimes forget to explain things to the buyer. Anyway, thanks for watching!!

Thank you!! Appreciate you

We have one available for $899k. Pls feel free to reach out to us for more info on this home at 925-922-3901

It was so great meeting you and so excited for you guys to close on your new home!!!

Thanks for all the great info on Folsom. So much to do around here

It’s less than a mile from Winding Creek which is a developed area in Roseville. 10 min drive to the brand new Raleys One Market. There is definitely alot of empty space around it.

@livinginnortherncalifornia that's my concern. It is just empty space, also the homes are claimed sold but only one family seems to have moved in.

thats one of our favorite restaurants too!

There was a heat wave everywhere, not just Sac area. A couple weeks of hot weather is well worth the exchange for better housing prices and a good quality of life.

Shut up dude lol not that serious you don’t even understand seo

Theres a ton of others States where property values are lower but double the property tax. To each its own!

thanks for the recommendation
