About Me
Conducting real estate transactions is a challenge; mentally, physically, and emotionally. A challenge I love! Attending to every detail is vital. The money issues are important, but you have to really love the part where you help someone. That's what I'm all about.

Desperate, Home Buyer in Boston, MA

Help! I'm supposed to close in a few days (6 to be exact), and I can't get the sellers to agree to visits

Maria Morton answered:
Attorneys read and write contracts and offer advice. Realtors conduct real estate transactions. If you have no realtor and your attorney says you are out of luck, you have two choices: 1) close or 2) don't close. Best wishes. - Yesterday, 23:33

Maria Morton answered:
If you intended to say "lot line" rather than "building lines," It means the house is encroaching onto property that belongs to someone else. To remedy this, you can attempt to buy however many feet you need from the landowner, move the structure so that it is entirely on the land, ask the title company if they can prepare a document to allow the transfer of ownership with the existing encroachment as is, cancel the contract, and/or consult a real estate attorney. - Yesterday, 23:26
Lrichards71, Home Seller in Arlington, TX

Do we HAVE to pay the buyer's closing costs?

Asked yesterday, 22:30 by Lrichards71  -  Home Selling in Arlington  -  4 answers
Maria Morton answered:
No, you don't have to agree to any of the terms in the contract. However, if the buyers do not have cash to close, they will be unable to purchase the home. As mentioned below, you can build the closing costs into the price so long as the lender's appraisal will support the price increase. - Yesterday, 23:21

Maria Morton answered:
The documents we use from KCRAR are standardized. They are approved by the Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors, the Missouri Association of Realtors, and the Kansas Association of Realtors. Our attorneys review and adapt the contract docs every year. Each brokerage has their attorneys go over the docs again. We, as realtors, write only in the approved spaces. Each bank has their attorneys draw up contracts that conform to federal laws and also cover the state and local laws as much as possible. (Federal outranks state, city and county) FNMA also has attorneys that draw up their addenda to conform to applicable laws. The addenda that banks use are not generally favorable to the buyer. They are written to protect the bank. The bank, or FNMA, will not accept an altered document. Have your agent read the instructions on the site or in the email they received. - Wed Jun 10 2009, 23:12
