We are planning to buy our first home and are confused as to the getting approved for loan process. So we were wondering if the realtor can help us with that.
Thanks!
The Realtor can help by suggesting specific lenders or mortgage brokers. Typically, they’re ones who are professional and can get the deals through. However, the Realtor really can’t "help [you] to get approved."
Realtors like for you to be preapproved before they start working with you on finding homes. However, there’s nothing wrong with going to a Realtor and saying, "I’d like to work with you. I’m not preapproved yet. Can you suggest a couple of lenders who you know and work with that I can go to to begin the approval process?"
And especially if your situation is somewhat unusual or difficult, the Realtor may have some suggestions for lenders who’d be more willing to work with you.
Hope that helps.
Also, is it hard to get your realtors license in Illinois? I see you can take classes online and then you take an exam, correct? It just seems buy getting a realtors license you could save a lot of money on purchasing homes. Can anyone give me more info or anything I should know before pursuing? Thanks!
Why do you have to be with a real estate company in order to get the commission? Can’t you just be independent?
Depends on whether the seller is offering to compensate a "buyer’s agent" – which is what you would be, right? The listing broker may have an agreement to split the commission with a buyer’s agent, in that case, you could use your portion of the offered commission to help pay for your expenses, or reduce the sales price.
You’ll have to check to see what the requirements are in IL to get a real estate license. Typically, you sign up with a broker and "hang" your license there. If you want to be a REALTOR, you would have to sign up with a broker who is a member of the local Board of REALTORs.
Educate yourself about the costs of doing the real estate course study, exam, licensing fee, REALTOR board fees – local, state and national, MLS fees, E & O insurance, etc.
Check to see what the broker’s policy is for an agent to buy his own residence…some allow all the commission to go towards the purchase, some keep a lowered percentage of their share of the commission.
I think you will be surprised to see how little you will "save" in the purchase vs getting an experienced real estate agent to represent you in the transaction.
how do you become a real estate agent for Sotheby’s International Realty? Do you already have to have a real estate license? I am trying to become an agent what do I need to do?

A Realestate agent made an offer to me for a client of his and I have accepted informally.
Did you get an independent appraisal of your home? That would be the first step; get 2 appraisals to know if you’re getting a fair price.
Hi, I will need accommodation in Clayton or near Clayton area soon. How do I search for affordable room (bathroom shared only with one other person or private bathroom)? I am located overseas and will need the room for 2 months. Realestate/domain website listings are expensive. My budget is only $130 or less (with bills included). Please help.
If you look on realestate.com.au and put in under shaRE accomodation and enter the prices you can go up to you should find some places there to ask about.
i found some..
also think to enter some of the surrounding suburbs like Mt Waverley, Nottinghill, Oakleigh, Clayton North , Clayton South Huntingdale etc
It is close to the university there so there is always places emptying and changes made, but don’t wait too late to see to it as it will be booked up with next years students otherwise.
also you may try looking in the local papers for people who want to rent out 1 room to a border.
