Am I obligated to buy a home if I haven't closed on it?

Asked Tue Nov 11 2008, 16:08 by Jbs - 68123 - Home Buying - 3 answers

Roy Kotz answered:

You really should talk to your agent. You may have contingencies in your contract that cover these life changes. If you do not have a buyer's agent I would suggest that you consult with a lawyer. - Tue Nov 11 2008, 16:34

We are looking to buy a home in Nebraska, but our current apartment lease doesn't expire until June 2009.

Roy Kotz answered:

Nick,

Scott pretty much summed it up. You could also try to bring your landlord a new tenant. If you can and the new tenant is able to meet the qualifications, I would bet that he would release you from your contract. - Mon Sep 22 2008, 11:25

Kim,

I do understand your frustration and at this point with the info I have am as confused as you as to why you are not getting the showings. Really the showing instructions that you mentioned should not be a problem, although you are right in wanting them to reflect that your home is fairly easy to show. I would be happy to look into your situation further. Just e-mail me your address and I will look at the numbers, competition, and market in your neighborhood. Never hurts to have another set of eyes look at it. No obligations of course and in complete confidence. Just happy to help if I can. My e-mail Roy@RoyKotzRealtor.com - Wed Sep 3 2008, 16:32

Kelly,

It is hard for myself and I am suprised how fast some of the other agents here are to critisize your agent. I am sure you know if the agent is doing his job, however are there other factors that may keep your home from being shown? (ie.:on or backing to a busy street, neighbors that are not caring for their yard, backing to an area that is undeveloped and uncertinty as to what will happen to it) With the limited info I have read here it seems you should be showing as much as the others in your area.

Another question, how are you verifing that the others are getting showings? I will tell you that In the Omaha area homes that are priced over $300,000 whether the price in right or not are getting fewer showings. Right now there are just fewer buyers looking in the 300 and up prices.

I hope that your conversations here will help you decide what to do next. If I can help further questions please let me know.

What can I do to get my house sold in Omaha, NE. I have it listed with a releator.

Asked Tue Aug 12 2008, 18:06 by Charlotte - Omaha - Home Selling - 3 answers

Roy Kotz answered:

Price is a big factor, however you must be the best choice in that price range to be the next home sold. Best choice includes condition, location, and many other factors.

Have you and your agent taken a good look at your competition? Your home may be priced right according to home sold history, however how does is it compare to homes that you are competing against. In most cases your competition will include homes outside of your subdivision. These homes are what other buyers are looking at when they view your home. It may be that you are not priced right, however it may also be that the homes that are selling are in better condition or have some other bennefits. If you look at what your competing against you may be able to uncover the solution to your problem.

I hope this helps.

Asked Fri Aug 1 2008, 08:20 by Kevin - 68046 - Home Selling - 9 answers

Roy Kotz answered:

Kevin,

All this research that has been suggested is needed. I would hope that being on your second agent that one would have had to have done their due diligence to get the right price. Aside from price, assuming you are getting showings, what has been the feed back regarding why buyers have chose other homes? It sounds as though your home is in good condition, but how does it truly compare to your competition?

Before I suggest a price for a home I like to visit several of the competing homes first to see in person how the condition compares to the pottential seller's home. I have on occassion invited my seller along on the viewing. This may be of benifit to you to help you understand the market and the suggestions your current agent has made. I hope this helps.
