all realtors are real estate agents or brokers
not all brokers/agents are realtors.
an agent or broker is a licensee who has passed a state test and

a realtor is a member of the National assn of Realtors {i was a member

I don’t want my cat in the house while realtors are going in and out of my house for the next 2 months. I need to find someone willing to keep the cat during the day while I’m out at work. Any suggestions?
If you’re in the states than try Craigs list. You might look in the yellow pages for a kennel which would keep your cat temporarily as well.
Real wives of OC, Atlanta, NY & NJ?
Keeping up with the Kardashians or K & K take Miami?
Girls Next Door etc?
It depends on the show and how well its doing. For instance, Omarosa stated that she was paid something like $75k to $100k to do "Surreal Life" and it was only taped over a two week period. Some of the folks from "The Hills" reality show (if you can call it that) got paid upwards of $60K-$7K per episode.
Need 2 bedroom home to rent or buy.What about daily living expenses like or less than us
how about apartment all need to be near the ocean
Prices can vary a lot, you need to establish what your budget is for renting or buying, they vary from $300- $2000 a month to rent , to buy you can say between US $50,000- 2 million.

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.
Considering having a bunch of realtors come to my house and individually pitch their plan to sell my house in the current market. Marketing strategy, reduction in commission, etc. My house has been on the market for over a year and has not sold (Atlanta area). Great house, low price, but cannot compete against new homes that builders are dumping for bargain prices. Other methods for getting the best deal with realtors?
Realtors don’t sell anything.
90% of houses are sold, after somebody searched for one on the internet.
Your house will sell for todays right price, which is 30% lower then 2 years ago. That’s for a 400,000 house from 2 years ago today 280,000.
Need feedback from anyone who has purchased property in Turkey or who has purchased property anywhere in the world through Macanthony Realty as having doubts about both. Thanks.
Personally I would say that Turkey is way too politically unstable. Stick to holidays. A second holiday home is a big investment and you have to get it right. Also, in many seaside locations you get alot of fraudsters, and be very wary of buying off plan.
Mother put in childrens names. She died 2005 house was in childrens names in 1989. Should it be done as a sale of realestate or would it be considered an inheritance? The house was sold for 30,000.00 less than the appraised value.
Was sold for 100,000.00 leaving approx 30,000.00 to each child. I do taxes for people who cannot afford to have their taxes done by the bigger companies. I have only about 50 that I take care of each year. I have never run across this situation before. I need your help!!!!
If the house was already in the children’s names, then there was no inheritance. Therefore it would be considered a sale of real estate. I believe the basis of the house would have been the basis on the date of the transfer, not the appraised value. Don’t forget to add the cost of any improvements to the original basis.
For more information go to the IRS website and download Publication 523 – Selling Your Home. If that doesn’t help, call the IRS directly.
just wondering, i know there is alot of people who wish they could invest in real estate as it is a great investment market. I wish wondering if you would invest in a company that invests in real estate for you?
So like lets say the company has all these listings of different real estate projects they are going to buy and you can pick from one. So maybe there is 100 acres they are going to buy at 100,000 dollars. you would be able to invest 1000 dollars in this property threw this company, so realisticly you would on 1 percent of the propety threw the company. then maybe in a year the company would sell the property and get 200,000 for it. you would then get back 2000 dollars. 1000 for the investment and 1000 dollars profit.
would this be something you would do to invest in real estate or you think others would do? of course it would be a legal corporation not like some side business.
I am just wondering as myself would love to invest in realestate but dont have the money.
Thanks!
They’re called REIT’s.
Theyr’e like mutual funds for real estate.
Often times, minimum investment is $1,000.
