Live realtor short sale training seminar.Is it easy (or stupid) to buy a home for the first time without a realtor? What are the savings/other options?
Is it easy for a first time homebuyer to buy a house without a realtor? Or is this completely risky and stupid? What kind of problems could occur? And also, how much would this save for a house around $250-300k ? What are typical realtor fees? And do people ever just go without a realtor but then get a lawyer to overlook the paperwork prior to signing? If so, how much does that cost and is it cheaper or more expensive?
by the way – I’m mainly referring to For Sale By Owner places … so the seller would NOT have an agent.
I had a great answer, but then you added the details about for sale by owner. That changes things.
This is not like buying a car for sale by owner – there are a lot more rules, things you have to pay for to make sure you’re not getting scammed. What kind of problems could occur? Some guy could take your money, pretend to transfer the title to you, let you move in, and then sell the house again (this time legally) and you would have no legal right to the house.
I have no idea whether going with a lawyer would be cheaper/better. You could always call one and ask what the fees would be or if they charge a percentage of the sale. That might make up your mind for you. The thing with a lawyer – they’ll probably take their fee up front, while a realtor will build it into the cost of your mortgage so you won’t need as much money up front.
What college major should I take to become a realtor?
I really really want to become a realtor, but I don’t know which college major would help make that dream come true. Help?
I know I need to take business, but there are different branches of that major and I don’t know which is best for becoming a real estate agent. Maybe Marketing?
So, I could major in Business Marketing and be able to be a realtor? I want to work for a well known agency and be successful.
definitley marketing. perhaps with a minor in communication. that way you know how to market the house, yourself, and you know how to communicate well with people.

Has anyone had luck selling their home without a realtor?
I am planning to sell my home, but really can’t afford a Realtor without cutting in to my down payment for my new home, so I am thinking of selling it myself. Has anyone had luck selling on their own and if so, do you have any helpful tips for selling fast. Thanks in advance!
Yes it can be done. You would advertise your property as FSBO (for sale by owner). Call one of your local Title Co.’s and they’ll help you out alot. They have to handle the stuff in the end anyways. There’s lot’s of free advertising online, and you may be surprised but you can get some really great leads, sometimes from someone that will be moving to your area. Just be sure to write really good ads to grab attention to the special features of your home. Good luck

Can a California realtor charge a first timer buyer a fee for canceling their contract?
If yes, what is a customary fee? I heard a lot about realtor fee’s and need to know about this question, before I get started.
No, in CA the realtor only gets their fee at after they close a sale, never before.
However, if you start a contract with one agent you can not switch. This one would be entitled to their commission still, and will get it. You would pay a second one out of pocket if you were to involve another agent.
Also keep in mind that your contract isn’t really with the agent, they work for a broker, the real holder of the contract.
If at any time you are not happy with your agent you can request he replace them with a different agent. You agreement is not effected in any way.

How to find forecloser listings with out contacting a realtor?
Any one know how to find forecloser listing with out contacting a realtor or paying some one for the listings?
Paying for lists is BS. All banks use realtors—getting your own Realtor is important as they can access the Multiple Listing Service that you cant. I have a realtor that E-mails me new listings that she thinks may interest me at no-charge.
