  1. Anything you see on infomercials is the cheapest and most overpriced products on the market. For the past decade, selling on TV is the worst way to sell direct because of its expense and ROI low returns. Companies who sell via TV, need to mark-up margins and cut quality. See on TV = don't buy.
  2. Am I a snowflake because I see Aziz's point?
  3. Trout and Harper are making baseball white again.
  4. KC has the best year of his career last year. At least he's having a down year when they aren't going to win anyway.
  5. He should talk to the guy who bought into pizzagate (spinforum). lol
  6. petco where the pets go
  7. Just overbid and enjoy a new house. Don't quit (like Dipoto.) Don't ever ask for an APR rider. Get rid of your closing costs. And pay more than another buyer. Is your agent getting word on why your offer lost?
  8. IAC owns numerous brands, incl match.com. Some think CC is inserting stories on DB. Do you know how business works? jeezus. http://iac.com/brands

  10. From my understanding, fees vary wildly from doc to doc.
  11. The appraisal will likely come in over list. Appraisals take into account market trends. A solid LA will make sure that the appraiser has all of the info they need to support the price. If you see a house you like, be aggressive and make a strong offer. You might have to bid a bit higher than another buyer who is buying cash or with a conventional loan. Don't get stuck on paying a couple grand more than another. The longer you wait the more likely you are getting priced out of neighborhoods and homes because prices must be rising there giving the activity. Have your agent ask the seller if the current owner needs an extra 30 days after close of escrow to move out. Offer them a 30-day leaseback for $1.
  12. It's definitely a tactic that works but it isn't ideal most of the time. I just had to do this last month to acquire a house that we are flipping in Redondo Beach. Going direct was our last resort. In this market most agents want to sell their own listings, meaning representing both the seller and buyer...because inventory is low. Things can get dicey with ethics and that leads to lawsuits from buyer and sellers. The contracts get updated and revised all of the time by the Realtor Assoc to help mitigate risk.
  13. I can't be the only one who watches most youtube videos on 2x speed.
  14. Before you even see the house your agent needs to know the status of the property, offers and timing. The moment you want the house he needs to call the LA to give him a heads up that your offer is coming within the hour. He should also find out how many other offers are in, when they are being presented and find out what the sellers want to see in the offer beyond price (timing for escrow and contingenices, who pays for what, etc.) If your agent is personable and not afraid to ask he might get an idea what the other offers are coming in at. Looks like yours did. Good luck, mang. There's tons more but that's the point of having an agent who knows their shit and is proactive.
  15. That sounds like a crappy realtor. A realtor who describes their role as above is not providing a good service. It's a red flag anytime a realtor gives away their pay, especially half?! They tend to be the worst realtors so they have to give away tons of cash to get and keep clients. They also end up being realtors for redfin, etc. A realtor who just delivers a message and paperwork is adding nothing of value. A good realtor makes your offer look strong, you look likeable, advises you on market, gets your offer accepted, gets the escrow closed, limits your chances of getting sued, etc. I've learned 99% of agents are clueless. That "paperwork" can cost you tens of thousands of dollars when the boxes aren't checked in the right places and at the right times. A good realtor protects their client and makes sure that they don't step on a minefield left by the opposing realtor who understands the contracts and how to get the upper hand in negotiations, control of escrow, limiting damages, and a hundred other important items. That paperwork are real and actionable contracts.
  16. AW profile settings are lacking many basic gender identification choices. Not woke.
  17. Anybody got some anti e-car article from 2003 they want to share?
  18. Do you really believe that is a smart interjection to make here? wow. And now back to Limbaugh radio...
  19. of course, it is, and only getting better. at some point, it'll be exponentially. then another tech will have the same growing pains to replace that current tech. rinse and repeat.
  20. Solar tech is becoming better every year. The more electricity we get from means other than burning petroleum, the better e-cars are than internal combustion cars in every way (as confirmed by these articles.) How anyone can hold on to the contrarian (conservative, lock-step rhetoric) view of e-cars is beyond stupid.
  21. more L/R BS from sosh at the expense of player confidence and giving them a complex.
  22. Fair enough. I'm trying to give Trump some credit that he wants to line his pockets, inflate his ego and help the country. However these might be in direct conflict with each other.
  23. I think Trump is in the most trouble compared to USA's other leaders with regards to Putin because he thinks he knows how to read people. BHO knew he was outmatched so he treaded water. Trump is entering a minefield in almost any direction he walks when dealing with Putin. Putin has decades of experience out-maneuvering others in politics. he boxes you in so no matter what your next move, you lose. Trump has dealt in only business. His success there is his greatest weakness and Putin is already taking advantage.
