That late night viewing turned into a deal?

No...this viewing occurred during the extension period! We had close to 50 viewings but sold it on the one and only offer made.

Realtor was lucky I extended his contract which was to expire end of OCT. the couple who purchased viewed the home nov 1st and fell in love with it. Wants it to be their retirement home.

But...it went back and forth...

First offer. $1,000,000
2nd offer. $1,020,000
3rd offer. $1,050,000

Got the realtor to pony up $5k of his commissions and bam we got a deal.

Realtor tried to trick you and you extended?

Yup. He was practically crying over his would be losses so I gave him the 2nd chance but not before literally yelling at him.

Sorry but I'm kinda slow. What kinda game was he trying to pull in the dark of night? He gets his commission if he sells. Why care about expiration.

we didn't want to be held back from re-listing with a better realtor immediately at expiration - with his sneaky ass tactic, he would have a legal contract in place to guarantee his commissions within 2 months after expiration if it sold with another realtor.

I tried to setup a viewing for a house I was interested in. Realtor gets back to me and lets me know that multiple rooms in the home are currently sublet and on a 1 year lease you'd have to honor if you bought it.

This a fucking 5 bedroom home.......haha what in the fuck why even list it? Who the fuck is spending over a million dollars for a home and wants roommates? I'm not even talking a suite, legit bedrooms in the main living space.

Doesn't the seller have to let the tenants know and make sure tenants will move out when the new buyer takes over? Sound likes the seller doesn't want to pay compensation to the teant.

Possibly, just what I was told. I'm not going there, I'll find another house.

In a legitimate and legally binding rental, the seller has to sufficiently compensate the renters if he wants them to move out. At a minimum, that would equate to giving them at least 1 month's worth of free rent. If the seller doesn't do that, it becomes the buyer's obligation to honour the terms of the rental agreement.

This is extremely true. WHY THE F would i take someone to buy a house and make 1% commission when I can just drive around the corner and make a normal commission.

2nd, there are people (in all industries) who are really out there to make sure you get a good home. So yes, realtors does make a difference, you just gotta filter them thru.

EVERY realtor makes the same commission, so you better ask them why you should list with them versus why you should buy with them. Most of them have been so lazy now they can't even give you a honest answer with a straight face.

The answer to the bold part above should be because that might be the best house for your client and if you're looking out for your clients best interests you should probably show them everything. The reality is everybody is in it for themselves and realtors don't give two shits about their clients other than getting the sale/buy, trying to secure future business and get referrals so they can get more business. You are nothing more than a paycheck to your realtor, they can say whatever they want, tell you they have your best interest in mind but when it comes down to it you're nothing but a payday.

That's an interesting scenario. I'm not so sure you'd need to honor those leases, as it sounds like they're tenants in common, where the RTA would not even apply. Their lease would not transfer to you, so really it would be seller's problem. You could dump them on their ass without repercussions, they'd need to pursue the seller in small claims for breaking the lease.

Even further if you moved in as the homeowner and landlord, now they'd be occupants/roommates which the RTA doesn't apply to either.

Maybe sneaky in the way he presented it, but it's pretty standard practice from what I remember. In fact if you look through your original listing agreements, that same 60 day cancellation clause may very well be there as well.

Years back, we had initially listed our unit with a realtor who lives in our building and who we thought had ample connections to mainland Chinese buyers. Timing for the listing wasn't good, but we had just bought bought our house and wanted a smooth transition. Anyways, she tried for a couple of months wasn't able to help us sell our place leading up to Christmas and suggested we pull the listing and re-list in the Spring. We did sign a cancellation contract which also had the same 60 day commission clause, which she was fine to nullify.

This was back in when dual representation was allowed though, so I could see why it's there. Say you hire a realtor, they put together a package to market your place, run some open houses, drum up some interest, etc etc. The buying realtor/party then somehow find a way to contact you directly and cuts the selling realtor out (maybe save you some money, save the buyer some money, buying realtor acts as dual agent and makes more than they would in the 'normal' way, etc etc), and very easily the person that did the actual work gets squeezed on the deal. So I guess I agree with the spirit of this clause, but obviously some jerkfaces will exploit every last bit for a quick buck here and there.

Just seems like a massive pain in the ass if he went through with it. He's got a family with kids and dog(s), so there's really no need to bring unnecessary drama into his life.

Any suggestions on how to find out what condos just received licences to occupy? Or just buildings that started to occupy?
