Real Estate

Im moving in the New york area, and Im not sure if I rent from a realtor do I or does the owner pay the broker fee? Im confused. I know I have to pay the security deposit and that months rent. I just need to know about the brokers fee or realtor fee? Basically who pays the realtor?

In New York State you pay the Realtor’s Fee.

With all the people in this country not paying their mortgages, and all the foreclosures as a result, I think Golf should enact a new rule in regards to realtors playing the sport. When a realtor hits a shot that warrants shouting "FORE", his golf partner (or caddy) must shout back "CLOSURE". Anyone else agree?

Barack is spelled with a "c" in it. Poem is kind of disjointed with no rhyming noticed either.

I live in So. Calif and am planning to be a real estate agent. I understand through the National Association of Realtors (NAR), you can get health insurance through them as an agent. I have Kaiser HMO right now and I’d like to continue with them. Is it possible to get Kaiser HMO through REALTORS Core Health Insurance?

if you have kasier now, why would change anything? just keep it and don’t join the NAR health plan. you’re gonna pay for the health insurance either way, whether its out of your pocket or out of your paycheck.

i got a kaiser plan from www.usdirecthealthinsurance.com for $145/mn and i am very happy with it. i will keep it regardless of where i work.

Most immigrants that come to Canada come to the Toronto area. You might say it’s because it’s Canada’s largest city and metropolitan area, but it’s not the case in the USA, where most of the growth is in the smaller metropolitan areas:

"In the course of the next 40 years, the biggest gainers won’t be behemoths like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, but less populous, easier-to-manage cities"

Why is Canada different? Is this a good or bad thing?

Toronto is the primary target for international migration simply because most immigrant groups have communities and existing support. (Also, what’s the first city you think of when you think of Canada? Exactly).

The next biggest city is Montreal. Due to Quebec’s picky language laws Montreal attracts primarily Francophone immigrants. Vancouver atttracts a fair number of immigrants but is a much smaller city. Calgary does as well but is even smaller.

It’s also got the most diverse economy, Toronto is one of the best places to look for work.

However, it does have its problems. Traffic is insane. Infrastructure inadequate. Out of control sprawl in the burbs while downtown is being developed and redeveloped so fast it makes one’s head spin. The recession has hurt manufacturing, which was already struggling.

Further, most years Ontario loses interprovincial migration, more people move away to other provinces than move here. Every year 100,000 immigrants move to Toronto and every year somewhere around 30,000 (net) Torontonians leave Ontario. The social problems brought about by bringing in many immigrants who struggle here initially at the same time the best and brightest move away are becoming problematic.

In relative terms, Calgary and Edmonton are growing three times and twice as fast respectively. Vancouver grows at about the same rate.

I want to give my Las Vegas Condo/Loft as much exposure as possible.

Free listing services are much preferred.

I’m moving to Melbourne in a few months, and I have a dog. I’ve had a look on www.realestate.com.au and there hardly seems to be a rental property with pets allowed. What do people with pets in Melbourne do? Do you lie to the real estate about having a pet? How do real estates seem to react to pets? What’s a good way to find private rental houses?

We have the same problem in the UK and especially in the south.

It is for this reason I’m afraid that rescue will not give to people who are renting, and many breeders will also not sell to those renting.

Unfortunately, and I really mean that, it is not easy to find a house because animals and especially dogs do make a mess of houses by chewing woodwork, scratching floors etc and people don’t want it.

It is one of the main reasons for dogs coming into rescue in the first place.

All the best, I do hope you find somewhere, but I really don’t think lying is the answer.

I live in Australia and we have a site called http://www.realestate.com.au/. Is there a site like this for the US. Also where can I find a site where you get quotes fro houses or a site for new building estate houses like this http://www.simonds.com.au/ but not actual estates just like the houses. Thanks.

The banks have their own listings of their foreclosed properties. Wells Fargo is pasreo. ( I don’t work for any of these websites and they are all free)

I have been searching for a home in oakland CA because I heard of the high foreclosure rates, but it doesn’t make since that you could buy a home for $3,000.

What are the real prices of these homes?

Those look like they might be redemption prices, how much was not paid. Foreclosures sell for about 90% of fair market value.

Without addresses it is hard to tell what the real prices are, but I will see if I can find an example and post it.

edit:

That took me awhile. They are pulling default notices and calling them foreclosures. Those homes are not for sale at all and have not been foreclosed on. The owners are late paying their mortgage, but that is the extent of it.

I found one real foreclosure, http://realestate.aol.com/foreclosures/Surrey_Ln-Oakland-CA-94605/4.32112323

However they are saying it is only 459,146 when the actual list price is $599,000

Listing the default notices seems to be a lure to get you to pay for information that is actualy free.
