.So im a senior in high school in Louisiana. I was wondering what courses exactly must I take in college to be successful in real estate. I want to major in business and marketing only to have something to fall back on if the market doesn’t pick up. Do i need to take financing or is business/marketing okay? I know i need to take real estate classes and everything but i need to know what college courses would help me more – business/ marketing or business/financing.?

Please and thank you.

What is the role of a real estate facilitator and what does the buyer need to disclose?

Filed under: Renting & Real Estate — admin @ 4:10 pm
Sheila D asked:


My husband and I are currently looking to buy a home in Massachusetts. We have had a run-in with two real estate salespersons in regards to our “ethics”. We are first time home buyers and we were under the impression that, when signing the disclosure, we were using the salesperson ONLY as a facilitator. We did not disclose that we have several family members who are in the business, as we had not discussed our home-buying with them. After viewing a few houses with a facilitator, a week later, we decided it would be in our best interest to use a family member as our buying agent. We have recieved both phone calls and emails from two salespeople of an extremely unprofessional manner. What should we do in this situation? Were we in the wrong? Are we in a position to file a ligitimate complaint?

I am considering buying a condo from an ex-coworker and we are trying to do it at the minimum cost by not involving real state agents. What is the best way to do this? Deal with a real estate lawyer? Draw up a residential purchase agreement and then deal with the title and escrow company ourselves? I’d be interested in hearing from anyone that has gone through this process themselves, thank you.

What is the difference between a real-estate appraisal on your home’s value and the tax appraisal value?

Filed under: Renting & Real Estate — admin @ 11:59 pm
EM asked:


Currently, I only know the tax appraisal 109K, from the home I am planning to buy.
(Home built in 2006, around 1500 sq)

How much of a difference can I expect from the real estate appraisal? Lower or Higher?

Are homes usually valued around the same as the tax appraisal?

What kind of problems can I face if the appraiser values the home too low or high?
The appraisal would be for the purchase of a home, right now the asking price is 96K( it’s a foreclosure).

I currently rent in San Diego, CA and I am thinking about moving. Without just driving all over California, how can I find out about areas, rental prices, housing prices, etc? Especially if I don’t know the names of the areas – Say, I am interested in moving north east of San Diego? Or, do I just have to go and look on a map and do a search for each and every city? Isn’t there a mega real estate web site that lists things for all of CA? Thanks!

Filed under: Renting & Real Estate — admin @ 11:48 pm
bbchase81 asked:


I can get a $1,000 referral by saying a friend referred me (he is suppose to get the money but he is giving it to me cause he’s a friend…). But, would the real estate agent be able to give me a better price on the overall home? Should the real estate agents price override that $1,000 cash? How do I get the best deal?

Thanks.
FYI, the $1,000 is for community members to refer their friends (my friend is not a real estate agent).

EXCELLENT point on the real estate agent…they get 6% around here and the house I’m thinking of costs $118,000. I could “save” them almost $8,000 by going at it alone.

When can I start practicing Real Estate in Virginia?

Filed under: Renting & Real Estate — admin @ 5:03 am
bsebl12 asked:


I thought that in the Principles of Real Estate class that the teacher said that once the broker requests your license you can begin practicing the forms of Real Estate, thus meaning they don’t necessarily have to possess your license yet. However, the company I signed with has said they won’t start my training until my license comes in. My “mentor,” however, has a house she wants to co-list with me tomorrow. The company was supposed to have sent my application for licensure in on Wednesday and the listing would be saturday. Can I legally co-list?

Daydreamer asked:


Hi, I’m interested in becomming a real estate developer. I have the funding so loans are not a problem. I am not willing to get a degree in it because I honestly feel I will not need it. Plus, I am almost done with a degree in Psychology.

I have looked online for books but cannot find one that is really helpful to me. I can take a few classes in it including General Contracting, but that is it. Finding a mentor has proven difficult because not many people are willing to share what they know.

So does anyone know of any good books or classes that I should take (be specific) so that I can get started. Please answer my question with any references you may have.

Thanks!!
I want to build houses and sell them. I am not looking into ‘flipping houses’. Plus, I will be hiring a General Contractor. Basically, it’s like I want to build my own house then sell it. Why is that difficult?
