I would like to talk to the agent selling?
I'm from the HOA and I wanted to make sure that this sale is to a new homeowner. I'm concerned about someone renting out the property. Is there an agent who can find out this information?
Splitting with partner. How do I get my share of the house?
My partner and I own a house together. However, I paid the entire downpayment. We're splitting up and my partner is insisting that we split the proceeds 50/50. But I should get a bigger percentage of the sale, since I paid the downpayment. What are my options for getting my fair share? If my partner refuses, do I need to hire a lawyer?

Can my house not be photographed?
We're selling our house. Can we ask that the inside of our house not be photographed? We're private people and don't want photos of our house or our kids rooms floating around or put on social media. We have professional listing photos, and would prefer that any potential buyer refer to those. We could even compromise and allow personal photos after an offer is put in. However, we don't want casual buyers coming through our house and taking photos and videos of it. It makes us uncomfortable. How do we navigate this?

Home appraised lower?
Our home appraised $10K lower than the offer. We'd like to get a second appraisal or push back. Our real estate agent says we should just accept the lower price. The appraiser isn't from this area and we feel like they didn't fairly appraise the house. What are our options? Can we contest the appraisal?

Is there a difference between a selling and buying agent?
I want to sell my house. I talked to an agent that has only helped people buy houses, but he wants to help me sell my house. I'm wondering if he lacks experience or training and if he's qualified to sell since he hasn't done it before.
Should I take my house off the market for the holidays?
Should I take my house off the market for the holidays and then relist in January? Or is it better to just leave it on. I don't want to deal with showings during the holidays and I think it will be slow anyway. If I take the house off the market and relist does that look bad? Or is it bad if I leave the house on the market and it sits for days and days? Then it seems like the listing is dead
If I'm sick should I show my house?
Should I show my house if I'm sick? Or should I cancel the showings until I'm not contagious? Of course, I wouldn't stay in the house for the showings, but I'm wondering if having a showing when germs are in the house is a no-no. Also, I don't want to miss out on a potential buyer by canceling showings for several days.

I want to sell my home but it wasn’t professionally built?
The home is an owner built home. No professional builder was involved. Everything was done by the owner who was not a licensed or skilled contractor. How does the market value these homes? Would it qualify for financing or cash only? Do I have to sell it As-is and/or disclose it as an owner built home?
When would I need to sell to avoid paying capital gains?
I lived in a condo from 2018-2023 but then moved out and have been using the property as a rental. How soon would I need to sell it to avoid paying the capital gains tax in Florida? The property is worth $160,000 currently, the property was put in my name by a relative that paid $90,000 for it.
