Real Estate

You want us to do your homework for you? No way!

Just google "real estate, short sale" and you will get an excellent explanation of a ’short sale’ and it will be a learning process for you.

What are some sites that are good… is mls.ca the only one? Does Canada have a site like realestate.com.au to search for homes.. with lots of pictures etc…

Call an agent! Why not have someone who knows what their doing, do the work for you.

I have been searching for a home in oakland CA because I heard of the high foreclosure rates, but it doesn’t make since that you could buy a home for $3,000.

What are the real prices of these homes?

Those look like they might be redemption prices, how much was not paid. Foreclosures sell for about 90% of fair market value.

Without addresses it is hard to tell what the real prices are, but I will see if I can find an example and post it.

edit:

That took me awhile. They are pulling default notices and calling them foreclosures. Those homes are not for sale at all and have not been foreclosed on. The owners are late paying their mortgage, but that is the extent of it.

I found one real foreclosure, http://realestate.aol.com/foreclosures/Surrey_Ln-Oakland-CA-94605/4.32112323

However they are saying it is only 459,146 when the actual list price is $599,000

Listing the default notices seems to be a lure to get you to pay for information that is actualy free.

I want to give my Las Vegas Condo/Loft as much exposure as possible.

Free listing services are much preferred.

How long does an Indiana listing last

It lasts as long as the time frame to which you agreed in the listing contract.

“Guide to Listings Submission” Technical Spec

xml is Excel spreadsheet format.

The fields list is all you need. Copy the field list across the top row in a new Excel page. Then fill in the details underneath, for your your property. It will include items like real estate type (house, condo etc), for sale or rental, address, various description fields, and things such as DisloseAddress, which you fill with Yes if you want it done and No if you don’t want it. Any that don’t apply to your ad, just leave blank.

This lets you submit numerous properties on one XML sheet, one property per row on the sheet.

If you could come back here and put the link for the page that directs you to that PDF, I could look it up for you and give you better details.

I see what you mean.

Address type the address.

Other items where it days "decimal" just type numbers eg 56000.00 or 3.5, no commas or dollar signs.

"String" means words, eg name of provider (you) or builder.

for "Enumeration" they’ve listed all the choices you have. I get the impression you need to put these into quotes, the way they have them shown.

Woops, further down (purchase, lease, rent etc) they DON’T have them in quotes. Try them each way.

I suggest you copy only the compulsory fields to your spreadsheet, and submit ONE sample, with one item in quotes and one not. See which one comes out and then stick with that style for the rest.

listingsKey and ListingKey are confusingly NOT THE SAME. The top one is a code you invent eg "julylisting1" for the whole ad; the second is another one you invent for this particular property only, eg "wiscCondo".

"integer" means a number, eg 500 (square feet).

Anywhere that says "Boolean" means yes/no. They don’t specify whether to write Yes/no, so it might be better to use computer boolean, which is 1 for yes and 0 for no.

Where they ask for URLs, eg for images, put the images into Flickr and give the URL for that page.

Once you’ve worked out your test submission, also add in the next page of non-compulsory items, as some of them would be of good value to potential buyers.

Section 6 – Data Transmission tells you the address to upload your file to. I suggest you name your files with some initials, such as your company initials, and the date, eg MRL20100705.xml.

WOW they expect a lot of computer expertise from real estate experts. I hope this helps you get started.

My husband and I live in DFW and would like to purchase 5acres in the Hill Country. I know the Hill Country encompasses several cities so bare with me. How would we go about finding a realestate agent in the area? I already tried googling it but none of the realtors had critiques and would appreciate insider help.

First of all, plan on spending a ton of money. Not a lot…a TON. The Hill Country has become wildly popular, and those good folks up there know it, and they’re laughing all the way to the bank.

Secondly, if you’re looking for five acre tracts, they’re likely to be found in gated subdivisions with pretty tight restrictions, or in backwoods areas with NO restrictions (mobile homes and junk cars). The likelihood of finding a friendly farmer who will lop off a corner of his pasture to sell you is slim to none.

Third, Google real estate agents in the following areas: Boerne, Comfort, Bandera, Fredericksburg (a TON of money), Blanco and Kerrville. These areas are in the "hilly-est" parts of the Hill Country. Century 21 real estate agents in these areas tend to be pretty reliable. You can also check out Trulia.com and enter any of these town names. There are, of course, lots of other towns in the Hill Country, but these seem to be the most popular. (Insider tip: take a look at www.doehneoaks.com)

Good luck!

Lawyers are paid a retaining fee upon hiring, whatever they set. If the amount of time needed exceeds what their retainer covered they are paid when they are finished, which should be closing.

i started this process in 2009/Sept and i am really tired of waiting for this deal to go through but i think shes getting paid by the rental company to keep renting from me. so to shut me up she signed a purchase agreement and then she had me sign a rental agreement? what the deuce is really up!? can she do this ? am i screwed? or can i sue and if so on what grounds.

If you signed you have no grounds to sue.
