ZillowVERIFIEDKim is outstanding and a pleasure to work with. Ive had the privilege to work with her a couple of years prior and just recently as well. She is professional, timely, responsive, and friendly. I was able to snag a lease with her and I couldnt recommend her enough.

ZillowVERIFIEDI had an incredible experience working with Kim. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was always available to answer questions, kept me updated every step of the way, and provided valuable guidance that made a huge difference. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients really stood out. I couldnt have asked for a better realtor and would highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for housing needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom start to finish, Kim was amazing to work with. As a first time renter, she walked me through each step and made me comfortable. My property was rented within the week! Kim knows what she is doing!

ZillowVERIFIEDKim was amazing to work with. She helped me every step of the way to purchasing my home and was always ready to answer any questions I had about the process. Kim has been consistently supportive and patient. Her warm and friendly demeanor made looking for a home a rich experience. What stood out most was her incredible knowledge of the market and the area I was looking in. She was always available to answer my questions, and I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. She guided me through each stage, from viewing homes to navigating the paperwork, making sure I understood everything. Beyond her professional capabilities, Kim treated me with genuine care and respect. She understood the significance of this milestone and celebrated it with me, making the journey not just about a transaction but about building a lasting relationship. I wholeheartedly recommend Kim to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate real estate agent. Her commitment to excellence and client satisfaction is truly commendable.

Answered Questions
Spirit M has given a really good answer. I would only add that in California an important factor is the actually Tax Parcel. A condo has an individual parcel ownership with it's own tax bill and a Cooperative has all the units sharing one property tax bill. Not sure any of this matters when renting.
Anna has the perfect answer. It really depends upon where you live. Different municipalities have different standards and enforcements of the those standards. This may haunt you when selling if there is a City Inspections prior to close. If there are no City standards or enforcements then this unpermitted work will only haunt you if your buyer pool is limited, or you are competing against other "Permitted" spaces. If all other things are equal buyers will prefer permits. If it is a seller's market, and there are no City issues Alfred is probably correct below. Good luck
Generally it is because you have hired the wrong agent, or you are not listening to the advice of your good agent. I would consider your hiring process, and if that feels bullet proof consider your approach to your agent's guidance.
The best way a Realtor can help repair your credit is to connect you with a trusted Loan Officer. Mortgage Broker's and Loan Officers can do credit analyzation, and have programs that can provide consumers a road map for credit repair.
As usual, two excellent answers from Anna and Spirit.
You should consult with a Realtor, or someone who can advise you on the merits of the offer. Someone who understands the purchase agreement or sales contract. The devil will be in the details of their offer. Price is always one component of an offer, and terms will tell the tale of whether or not this is a scam.
It's tricky now as Real Estate has changed since the days of the printed MLS when Realtors brought listings directly to their clients. Many clients of mine prefer to do their own searching and use me for my access for showings, opinion on the homes they've chosen, and my ability to negotiate on their behalf. Of course communication and expectations are key in the relationship so if you and your agent have not reached an accommodation after six months about who is responsible for the searching it may be time to change. It is up to them to satisfy your needs.
That's me. Certified and working in Real Estate for 20 years.
Depends on the market. If inventory is short, and you don't have much competition buyer expectations are low. If there is an oversupply of available homes relative to the available buyers you are going to need to fix anything making the home unattractive. Regardless of the market, people hate water stains, mold, mildew smells, broken windows, dirt, cracks in structures, and stains.
Perfect answer from Spirit.
You're going to need to interview agents. Don't interview too many as it will get confusing and it is important to balance work history, client testimonials, are of expertise, and whether or not you like them. If you don't like them it will be hard to trust them. Lots of great Realtors to interview on FastExpert, Inc.
