Oh, my God! This lady is great! I thought I knew everything but I learned so much the last few minutes. Thumbs up!
Glad it was helpful! Really appreciate your comment. Here to assist:)
So hard to find a decent, honest realtor. She appears to be the one!
yes, it is hard to find a good realtor...but when you find one, they are life changing...I promise. Thanks for the kind compliment.
As a current homebuyer and seller, I really appreciate your videos!
I wanted to bring in an extra inspector for the HVAC system and my agent said no because it made her uncomfortable to ask. It possibly needed replacement and I wanted a price but can't get one without a quote, etc. We backed out of the deal. It's nice to know I have every right to bring in extra inspectors, decorators, contractors, etc.
Oh my goodness yet! Bring in as many inspectors as you need to feel comfortable with your purchase. This is a big investment. Your agent should be more concerned about your comfort level...NOT the other way around. Best of luck...and thanks for watching my video.
A pest, sewer, or pool inspector is needed in addition to the general home inspector.
I agree. One property I had a home inspection, and a siding inspector due to EIFS siding (synthetic stucco). I have another property as seller and I did a home inspection, chimney inspection, radon inspection, septic inspection, well inspection, When as a seller you do these you are in the driver seat in getting things fixed and less items for negotiation
I am about to sell my beautiful home in a few months and I’m already emotional. I am frightened of how the buyers will take advantage of me. I am scared my realtor will not protect me in negotiations. Ughhhhhhh! The process of moving alone is worse than divorce and a major mental breakdown!
Hello There! Have some hope. Just try to interview several realtors...you'll find a good one who will guide you through the process. I know the unknown is very scary...but you can do this!! There are a lot of good realtors out there!! Best of luck...you'll do great.
Iam going through the same, very stressful.
Im 67 and am thinking about moving in the next 5-10 years but am having a wee look now at what it would look like to downsize, i got a valuation yesterday 5k below what it was valued 18 months ago, i was gutted, my house is the best in the area where i live
One of the disadvantages of having a lockbox is that too many realtors assume that they don't need to phone ahead to say they're coming. One day, I stepped out of the bathroom to find a stranger standing in my house. He was a realtor who decided that he'd just pop in to "inspect" the house before he brought over any clients. The point of the lockbox was that the house was available for showings even if we were out, but we appreciate the courtesty of a call ahead to say that someone is coming.
Oh wow...not cool. I hate lockbox. If your realtor is using lockbox..ask for a discount in their commission. Things like this should never happen. Sorry about that..just not cool.
I had a similar experience when our Dallas house had a lockbox. I laid down for a nap with my toddler, and heard people in my hallway. I was shocked to find a realtor and 3 clients inspecting my home outside my bedroom door.
We once went to a FSBO and pulled in the driveway and said, "No, I don't like the area." Since we made the appt. I said well, lets go in and take a quick look. It turned out to be the best home we viewed. It looked brand new, quality builder, gorgeous pool etc. The sellers took great care of this property and it showed. You just never know! SHOW UP if you make an appt.
This was a great video. I'm insisting my husband watch it. In fact, I have a list of your video material he must watch before we put our home on the market next spring.
Oh good...so happy to help. Good luck!
My horror story: My real estate agent unknown to me let the buyer have access to begin laying new flooring! Then before closing the buyers lawyer claimed that I didn't have clear title to my condo. I eventually straightened things out with my deceased husband's adult children from a previous marriage, but the closing was delayed. During the delay, the buyer started threatening to SUE ME if the sale didn't go thru!!! He was going to sue me for his expense for laying flooring in a condo he didn't own yet. Crazy.
I bought my place in one day when the property was listed and did my home inspection myself and fixed whatever and everybody was happy especially the realtor, since it was no hassle for her at all. Learn all you can know what you want and jump at the opportunity. All Other buyers were crying!!! thanks for the wonderful video. You’re very smart and know your work well.
Wow!! Well done..I am impressed!! I have a lot of respect for you. Thanks for your kind words, means a lot to me.
I've moved 48 times! This is one of the best instructional vids I've seen about the process!! Thank you.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Wow 48 time im 67and ive moved 3times lol
No, we will have that conversation and if the number is wrong not selling. Nothing wrong with that.
Free country last I checked. You're the boss.
What a helpful video, thank you Audra!
If your agent is not as professional as Audra, find a new agent.
That is the nicest!!! You made my day!!!❤
This is so good im watching it again, lots of valuable info!
Thank you
Glad it was helpful! So glad you’re getting value out of my video!
Always helpful. Thank you.
Glad I can help!
Great videos thank you !
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching...appreciate it!
In this market, as a seller, I won't budge a penny on the price or entertain any repairs. The price is firm, and strictly as-is. If you don't like, walk.
You get to do what you like:)
Someone who is firm on price and terms is not a serious seller.
@@jimmyday9536 Can't disagree with that.
How is that sale going for ya?😂🤡
I appreciate your honesty !
I appreciate that! Just trying to help! 😀
LOVE your straight talking advice. Wish you were in the UK! … most UK agents/realtor could learn from you!
Ahhh...thanks so much!!
@@AudraLambert she’s great! I wish she was in my area.
@ellie3637 Ahhh..that's so nice. Means the world to me!!
Nice jacket!
Excellent advice!
Thanks!
Great info! We are selling next year for retirement…hard to wait with the market as it is. I will watch your housing prep videos next. We have already started home projects needing to be done. Love your matter of fact style!
Hi Cindy, appreciate your message. Means a lot. Good luck with selling your house...I know its hard to wait with this market. No one can predict the market. You can only do what you can do. My motto: One day at a time. Have a lovely day.
@@AudraLambert Good motto! Have a blessed rest of your week!
Thank you Audra, I've learned so much from you. 😊
Ahhh...I am so thrilled I have helped! Means the world to me...thank you!!
Great information as always. Thanks
So glad you got value out of watching my videos! Appreciate your support🙌
Like honesty best policy. Excellent. Thanks for your hard work.
You are so very welcome...appreciate the compliment. Means a lot to me.
Amazing video
Ahhh...thank you!
I’m not in the market to sell but i’ve gone to your site because I used to be in the escrow business years ago so i was interested in how real estate is these days and I find you very informative and easy to watch. Thank you.
Thank you so much Paula. That means the world to me. Escrow is a tough job. Appreciate your kind comment.
Wow I am binge watching and really enjoying your videos! I love your fresh no nonsense honest advice, wish you lived in Canada and could be my seller. I would love your opinion on when you are setting the price (and I am one that wants to go a little under value) should we be looking at what comes sold for or are listed for? Thanks for your help now I’m off to watch more of your great advice!
Hello there...and so glad your are enjoying my videos. In my area, I am suggesting to my home sellers to list at market value. I am only basing the market value off of closed sales. Anyone can ask whatever price they want when they go live on the market...it may not be realistic. Better to be conservative with your price. If you go under market, you will get in a bidding war. Its just the way the housing market works. Best of luck to you!!!
@@AudraLambert Thanks so much for the response Audra while some of the laws are different a lot of what you are saying I think makes sense for any market. Canada is in a real housing crisis and crappy little houses can go for a million. It’s time for us to downsize but you are right the most important thing is a great realtor! I have the complication of moving provinces and most realtors aren’t licensed for both so I need one for selling and one for buying😱
Me too! Thank you Audre 💐
:) You certainly know your stuff! Great videos. My home will go on the market in Oct. 2023
"as is"... sort of, not so bad, but I know it needs to be updated...I just want to retire and start over in a new place. We are in NE Ohio. Thanks again for your info!
So glad you got some value out of my videos. You'll do great!! Best of luck!! Appreciate your comment!
Hey Sunnsag, I’m looking to possibly relocate to NE Ohio. Where can I contact you if your property is still available? Thx
I love your giggle❤ 😊😊 love love your outfits
Ahhh..thanks!!
And your information is invaluable… I think I’ve watched at least 15 + of your videos, as I am preparing to sell my house very soon. I have learned so much. Appreciate all the effort you have put into these valuable lessons.😍
Your great!
Ahhh...thanks so much!!
You're the best!
Ahh...thanks Chip!!
Wow ! Who thot of the booties situation ✔️🙏🏻
Yup..you gotta be careful! thanks for watching
What does it do to my property's value if the listing price is reduced then reduced again by realtor?
In San Diego I once had a realestate agent show me a house and then casually tell me that a rather large room extending from the house "Might not be permit, I'm obligated to tell you that". Now I thought this was MY agent, not the sellers I had gone to that agency asking for an agent to represent ME. She was not apparently going to find out, if that extension to the house had a permit saying, "Well, who knows if the records are downtown or not?" I stopped working with that agent. Is that normal? Did not that agent need to find out for me? I said, "You are my agent, right?" I didn't get corrected on that.
Woah! I just realized who you remind me of!! haha. Miley cyrus' mom!!! Random. But thanks so much for all of your input. Appreciate your videos.
Hey, I'll take it. Thanks for watching
Great content. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
If all contingencies have been removed, but you are still within the time window in the contract for inspections, can the buyer still do that? Thank you!
had a lawyer drag out a closing 4 monhs, I had a property the buyer had cash, the lawyer kept finding issues to Jack his bill
That's just terrible. I am so sorry.
He/she probably save your ass and a lawsuit.
Really enjoyed this without the silly laugh, May be she got the message…she is very knowledgeable, thanks
Laughing...this was an older video...I guess I was more serious back then.
@@AudraLambert it’s just the difference between Californian’s and rest of the world, they are more formal in the business world but good to see you didn’t take offence it was nothing personal…you are a very knowledgeable lady, wish I lived in your domain!
@@genevievedupont3072 Wow...thank you so much. Really appreciate your kind comment.
Yep! The Rothschild’s lender. “The Money Masters” good documentary that shines light upon the Rothschilds. 👍🏼 Thank you for this video! It’s much needed!
Appreciate you watching my video. That's for the advice on the documentary...I'll watch it.
@@AudraLambert 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🤍
I LOVE your video 💓💗❣️💚😊🙏
Honestly you sound like an awesome realtor
I wish you were my realtor 😍
Ahhh..thank you so much! You just made my day
Love your videos!
Ahhh...that's so nice!! Thank you!
DU and LPA are automated underwriting programs. Desk top UW is done first by the loan originator. Not UW
Good to know...thanks for the correction!!
Hi Audra, I'm moving out of California, do you think I should sell or rent my townhome? I don't have any debt on it, it's fully paid off.. I'm traveling out of country for 3 to 5 years. Do you think should I hold on to the property & rent it or sell? Iv mixed thoughts, either sell n buy then buy another single home with a backyard or investment in rental homes. I'm not sure about my plans. Please do advise.
Hello there! First off, its very difficult managing a property 3-5 years across the country. You would probably want to invest in a property manager to watch over the property and collect rent. I really can't tell you what to do, everyone's financial situation is different. Sounds like you are on a fun journey. I would honestly seek the advice of a trusted advisor. Getting rental income from a property is very lucrative...but there are downsides of renting a property out..especially in California. Best of luck to you!!
That laugh lol
I like laughing;)
There will be one ugly surprise. We walked in when we bought a “vintage midcentury,” and one thing you don’t see is the inside of the shower curtain. It had with layers of snots all over it.
I haven’t heard her talk about commissions even once …
Is owner financing an advantage in selling a property?
For buyers who are having difficult time qualifying for a loan, yes that would be a huge advantage for them. I am more concerned if its a good fit for you. There are some risks involved in seller financing....but some amazing upsides. I would just make sure you understand how the process works if the buyer of your departing property doesn't pay their mortgage. I do like seller financing if you find the right fit for both parties.
Thank you for your reply. I find your videos to be extremely informative. I am a widow in my 70's. I'm in Virginia reading a small horse farm to go on market in March. There would be a substantial capital gains tax. I thought taking back financing would give me an income while avoiding CGT.
Interest rates are high at the moment. I could charge a little less...w/no prepayment
penalty. What am I not taking into consideration? Thank you.
If I decide to sell my home should I pay for an appraisal for my property to compare with a buyers appraisal.
Hello there! I don't think its a bad idea to get an appraisal completed on your property for the sole purposed of knowing what your value is. Your buyer's bank will order the appraisal....they really don't care what appraisal you come in with. However, when the banks appraiser comes to the house, its not a bad idea to show them an appraisal you had completed on the property. I comp appraisals on all my properties....I think its important.
I’ve learned more in the 2 days from watching your videos than I have learned from my mom, who was a realtor for over 50 years. And I knew selling my home was going to be stressful, but I am not looking forward to the whole process of moving.Thanks for all the honest tips.@@AudraLambert
@@LRH143 Wow, so glad I could help. The process isn't fun...but its usually worth it. Just remember its temporary ( the process, that is). Thanks so much for your support.
The realtors just want a quick sale so they get paid. The realtor tries to put as is in the contract-don’t let them.
The links you refer to never appear 🤷🏻♂️
Right below the video there is a "read more"..if you hit that link it should direct you more of the info I direct you to. Hope that helps.
Hmmm...if you look below the video there is a link that says "read more". One you hit that "read more" area, you will see the links I refer you too.l Hope that helps. Sorry for the hassle.
She is a straight shooter. No nonsense. Great info. Although I prefer a kinder gentler approach. Different strokes for different folks.
Thanks for watching.
Start listing homes with a home inspection report performed by a random inspector.
Audra, please edit, the anecdotes are OK but it exhausts my brain when repeat yourself several times
Yah...I hear ya. I am trying to get to the point. My more recent videos are getting better. I am a work in progress. Appreciate the feedback.
@@AudraLambert Your presentation is genuine, professional & on point!👏
@@sandragomez4757 Thanks Sandra!! Means a lot!!
@@sandragomez4757 thank you so much for your kind words, Means a lot
You are the most realestic realator?
Ahhh...thanks so much!!! Really appreciate it.
You wouldn’t say it out loud so I’ll say it for you. Sellers don’t be GREEDY!
Well..I agree...and thank you for that!
Should have called police and file a report on wood guy! My camera doorbell would be proof!!!
I wish I could...but that was over 15 years ago this happened...I didn't have camera door bells back then. So annoying. People!!
Just to add my two cents worth.....anyone who would pay more for a property than it's appraised for, is a fool. This is what we call "instant negative equity".
I hear ya...but you have no idea how many terrible appraisals I've seen come across my desk. I promise you that if I hired 3 appraisers out to my house, they would all come up with 3 different values. I do like the idea of you house is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Some truth to that.
this is on some things is BS WHAT YOUR SAYING
Nope, its not. Is my experience...no BS there.
Most inspectors suck
Sure childbirth is tough but there is NOTHING in life better than having children! Nothing. It's THE best kept secret.
