Which of these inspection requests are actually reasonable to ask the seller to fix?
Were under contract on a town house and the inspector flagged a rattly bathroom fan and a deck with no footings, plus a few things our attorneys pushing that feel like a stretch. Which of these would a seller normally be expected to fix, and which should we just let go?
which of these three offers would you actually take on a multifamily
i got three offers on my duplex one is lower but all cash one is full price but contingent on the buyer selling first and the third is full price with a regular mortgage not sure if i should counter or just wait it out
Property shows long time on mls but it was under contract for most of the time.
The property went under contract 3 times. The second and Thursday time it was under contact for more than 45 days . Listing now shows 132 day on market but technically was under contract most of the time. Should I relist ?
Any recourse when a listing got the bedroom count and electrical wrong?
The house Im under contract on was listed as a 4 bedroom with 200 amp service, but its actually only a legal 3 bedroom with 100 amp electrical and the seller wont budge on covering the fix. Im past my contingencies now so is there anything I can actually do about the listing being wrong?

Should I take out a loan for foundation repairs before selling, or just sell to a flipper?
We bought my in-laws house four years ago thinking wed tackle a few projects over time, and now its foundation work, two bathroom remodels, and probably a new roof. We later realized what we thought was our inspection back then was actually just the appraisal, so we never really knew what we were walking into. Rates are up and were worried we cant afford the repairs. Is a loan for structural work before listing actually smarter than selling as-is to a flipper, or will we lose more that way?

Want to cancel the buyer/ broker addendum and the owner broker won’t send it to me.
The broker is pressuring me to sign the cancellation of the listing agreement, and I want to sign that with the buyer/ broker addendum at the same time.
Seller left a huge storage container on our property after closing - what leverage do we actually have?
We closed a few weeks ago and the seller asked to leave a big storage container in the driveway for just a few days while he found someone to move it. It's been sitting there for weeks now taking up space, and he says it's heavy and hard to deal with. What can I actually do to get this off my property since it's technically mine now?
I need help selling jointly owned property where both owners agree to a split sale.
I own 10.3 acres, and my ex-husband owns 10.3 acres. We both agree for me to sell so I can relocate. Who do we go through to sell my 10 acres? Even though it's registered with the tax office as a 21 acre lot Homestead. Exempt
How is a gift of equity supposed to be reflected on the seller's settlement statement?
My parents are selling their home to me for $415,000, though it appraised at $515,000, with the difference structured as a $100,000 gift of equity. I had understood they would net approximately $415,000 from the transaction while I would effectively have $100,000 toward my down payment. However, their settlement paperwork shows them netting only $315,000, with the gift subtracted directly from their proceeds. Could someone clarify whether this is the correct way for a gift of equity to be applied?
