Well, stupid California law.

In Missouri, things would be MUCH different.

I wouldn't be quiet about it. If the news media wouldn't say his name, I'd post it all over every single social media platform that is in existence, along with any links to his online profiles.

Hey, at least they were able to buy a house.

I've been interested in 11 properties so far and all of them have sold before I can make an offer. The longest any of them have been on the market is 4 days.

is the home owner T. Williams?

Another example of why California is so ****ed

they can't recover, too much piss in their pool

You snooze you lose.

Tell your agent to inform you when properties are coming up to be listed so you can get a bit of a head start.

I live 1200 miles from my target market. We're having trouble getting timely communication with realtors at all, let alone housing updates. We're not a priority, there's too many people that can do this face-to-face, the realtors aren't hurting for business.

BTW, I'm not snoozing at all. You're WAY off base.

That was a slight teasing you on my part. And that is a heck of a situation you have. Good luck though.

Sellers market for sure. I recently put my Mom and Dads house on the market. It was in a great historic area, great lot on a Boulevard but needed ton of work. We listed it and there was 7 offers on the table within 5 days, all significantly above asking. We took the biggest offer obviously at 15K above asking. And no we didn't undervalue this property.
It blew my mind how quick it went. There is absolutely nothing that stays on the market long around here.

Yep.

My buddy's brother sold a house in SE Georgia recently. It was on the market for ELEVEN HOURS and sold for 20% over asking price.

No problem man. It's just a real source of frustration for me right now.

We originally wanted to move to SE Texas but that market was non-existent (nothing for sale that really fit our needs) and then my job came calling about getting me closer to the action, which is North Carolina.

We're looking at places all over SE NC and northern SC and there's houses for sale but like I said, we're in Iowa, so the realtors don't look at us as "real" business and they aren't very attentive. They don't have to be because houses are literally flying off the market so fast.

We got desperate after accepting an offer on our condo and were getting out bid on the properties we were interested in. Finally lucked into finding a nearly completed new construction that had yet to be listed and pounced on it directly with the builder.

One property we made an above asking price offer and wrote them a handwritten letter promising to maintain their ****ing flower garden

and it still sold to someone else

Spoiler! RIVERSIDE, Calif. - When Tracie and Myles Albert purchased a beautiful four bedroom house in Riverside, California they never realized that at the end of escrow the seller would suddenly refuse to give up the keys and leave. "It’s just draining, emotionally and financially," says Tracie. On January 31, 2020, the couple purchased the home. More than a year later, they still haven’t been able get inside their property. Chris Taylor is the Real Estate Agent who sold the house to the Alberts from a man who wanted to sell immediately. "He needed $560,000 from the sale of his house in two weeks and he called me on a Sunday, so in traditional real estate there's no way of doing that unless the buyer’s a cash buyer," says Taylor. Since the house was free and clear and worth more than $560,000 the Alberts felt it was a great deal. "It took us scrambling to get everything we had, our life savings put together and a hard money loan on top of it to make that happen," Myles stated. During escrow they discovered there was a $30,000 tax lien on the house which slowed things down, but in the end, all parties signed on the dotted line and the sale was completed. "We own the house, outright. That's our house and it's all in a contract, written, legal, done. He's been paid the money in his account. How could we have no rights to go into our home," asked Myles. FOX 11 News tried to speak with the seller but when reporter Gina Silva knocked and announced herself, no one came to the door. Taylor says, "It’s genuinely unfathomable to me that we live in a state where something like this is even possible. They closed escrow on this home January 31, 2020." The Alberts and Taylor have contacted authorities and tried to get the seller evicted but because of the pandemic, they’ve gotten nowhere. "They have this case under a COVID tenant situation, of no evictions when it doesn't fall under that at all. This transaction went through in January 2020 before any of that, it isn't a renter who was getting thrown out. It's the guy who collected all of this money," stated Myles. Eviction Attorney Dennis Block says, "This year alone, we’ve handled at least 7 maybe 8 cases of this exact type of situation." He says people purchasing homes need to be extremely cautious, especially if they notice any red flags during the process. Block says what’s happening to the Alberts could happen to anyone. "This person is not a tenant, it’s a previous owner who is enjoying the benefits of the money that was transferred to his account but of course doesn’t want to move out of the premises that he no longer owns," Block stated. The Alberts filed an unlawful detainer but because of the California eviction moratorium, the case has been stalled. Time is simply passing by and the immaculate house they fell in love with is now becoming an eyesore. Tracie says, "I tried watering the lawn one time and he came out and ripped my sprinkler lines, ripped all the wires. The Palm trees are dying, everything was beautiful and everything is dying." Her frustrated husband says when he contacted law enforcement, they told him, "If you were in Arizona, if you were in Nevada, this wouldn't be a problem, you would just go take your house back. But in California, like our hands are tied, even though we're on your side, there's nothing we can do." Last edited by tyecopeland; 03-21-2021 at 09:52 AM..
