Was looking to buy a house cash and it's hard to get an agent because they're so busy


I finally found one that was willing to act fast on getting an offer in, had good reviews and such. I only needed them to draft up offers with contingencies.

They sent one of those PDF contracts for me to review but it's asking to agree to something before and sign before, user consent before I open it, is that standard? I remember doing contracts online for my last property but this time I want a lawyer to review the offer terms since I'm not as fully familiar with the laws in this state

Probably a buyers agent agreement. Locks you in and guarantees his pay if you proceed

it's an offer contract but like the above user said it's got the NDA and i'd have to put addition signatures on the actually contract

we already discussed earnest, offer, periods, etc etc i assume it's on the offer. I assume they wrote it as is with inspection to satisfaction and not just inspection

didnt know she was writing up an offer already, they said they were just going to through a number at the seller. I told her to add a contingency for my ability to aquire insurance

Not sure what state you are in, but in CA you can't just throw a number at the seller without an offer.

You sure it's not like a consent approval to use an electronic signing service? lol

Why are you using a buyers agent in the first place?

With cash, just go to the seller's agent.

I believe it is but it asked for signature

It’s a agent idgaf what they do if they put in the offer as requested

The state is Florida and most importantly as is with inspection to satisfaction is what I’m worried about. Verbal legal or not?

verbal what? Is this a troll thread? You doing $300k contracts verbally in florida lmao?

There is an inspection period in a standard contract, even with cash. You can obviously choose to waive that, but that's dumb.

60k

Verbal as in we’ll ask them if they’ll entertain that number and decide if it is worth writing up a contract (I assumed)

Of course I wouldn’t waive inspection

imagine paying some former bartender 6% of the purchase price and coming to a bodybuilding forum for advice LMAO

well, its up to the seller. buyers don't have a choice if something is listed with a seller's agent.

Otherwise, sure, buy a home from a "for sale by owner" and just work with some lawyers, do some legwork. Not a big deal. Unfortunately, people don't remain very level headed during inspection periods and negotiation.

Hey I went to Reddit too

BTW agents aren't super busy. They can just tell you are a poor loser schmuck who is kicking tires and can't even agree to a simple DocuSign TOA...


Lmao!!

If it's what I'm thinking of...they just want a sample signature so that when you go through and complete the electronic signatures, it has one to auto-populate the fields with so you don't have to actually sign with your mouse/finger at each part.

probbaly just buyers agent agreement. just sign it. happens all the time.

that protects the agent so he doesnt show you 50 homes and then when it comes time to offer, you pick someone else. also allows him to recoup commissions if he showed you the home that you later close on with someone else within a certain period. they call that procuring cause. some agents will send that first right off the bat but other will just have you sing it at the closing table. some buyers get weirded out by having to sign something soon as they meet.

edit: you wanna put in an offer to buy in this market with contingencies..... good luck m8also this. op wants legal advise on a request to use docusign lulllz

As others mentioned, they want to make sure they get a piece if you buy it. The owner may have more than one agent working for them.

OK I'm not sure with FL real estate but I've examined the contract and the agent added additional terms "Sale is contingent on buyer been able to acquire home insurance"

grammar and all incorrect, doesn't sound legally biding like in other properties I bought with contingencies. Nothing about a realtors agreement in the contract

Can't really imagine I'm the douche, but I asked the realtor to help me come up with a number so it would be worth their time as well but they just went with what I said without even giving me comps. I did all the research myself, including find out if they pulled the permits for recent septic, if the lot was legal per zoning (not current but grandfathered) found it myself without any help and the house has been on the market for awhile 50 days. obv it's over priced and had some garbage while not qualifying for traditional mortgage

thas'a red flag then if they cant even spell correctly. we see some lulzy chit in my market where there's some bad typos and before long the whole MLS knows about it

homeowners and financing are common contingencies but i thought you meant contingent as in, needing to put yours on the market or close on it still. also throw in inspection, permit and appraisal contingencies (IE, you get to back out and get your EM back if you find their chit wasnt permitted, find too many maintenance issues or if your appraisal comes in low)a number as in a good offer price......? you might have a knack for pricing mang, or the agent could just be lazy asf. highly suggest finding another one srs.

the company sounded pretty professional, then they probably sent me the rookie (who appears to be their daughter) fair enough with the commish rates they would potentially blame me I can't blame the other places for putting me on the back burner. A realtor showed me it days ago and told me she thinks 70k which is 15k under list, she came out the blue to show it and I even told her I'll do my due diligence before we bother making an offer to keep her work low but she ghosted me. I've contacted 10 realtors and am able to communicate with two, this being the second over two weeks. 2 houses I was looking into sold already

anyways the house is a mobile home on a lake lot with canal access and in a X Flood zone meaning it's not at any flooding risk. The ho looks to me is in fair shape for that type and I've personally torn them down off other properties I own but I want to replace it in the future and use it as a vacation spot now. At 1/3 an acre where it now requires 5 acres for new construction according to polk county, the county couldn't tell me if those plans are possible with the lot size so I will ask an attorney and have him check out the contract. Basically the sale is for the new septic / land as the mobile home has very little value regardless of age.. when consideration a price I do not take mobile home in to account but those damn things to sell quick if they're on a good lot from what I'm seeing. It is the only MH in that neighborhood. Probably could add new laminate floor / updated appliances and flip it for a quick buck if I really wanted to. The first I was looking at was listed sold at 36k a year ago, updated the dock and put in flooring and is now pending at 93k

I'm watching closely to see if it closes and what price they end up getting. I was about to put in an offer for 53k. This one i'm looking at now is on a prettier lake/neighborhood/location so 60k. needs cosmetics and appliances and a good inspection on the tie downs/pier foundation/electric/roof

70k houses
Swamp land
Mobile home
Long paragraphs on DocuSign
Low quality agents.
This whole thing screams poverty white trash sorry just facts

Comon bruh step up

I don't even think a bank will finance a loan that small. You must be all cash,

Real estate agents are pure scum. Most of them are not even that busy. They do a little paper work and turn a key so you can view a property.


All of this for your dignity and 30/100k+ depending on the property price. Pure scum srs.
