My first house I bought went through a realtor who was recommended by a friend. She was super nice and worked well with us. When I put the house on the market some years later to sell it we used her again based on the positive history with her.

It was on the market for a couple months and we weren't in a huge hurry to sell since the house we were buying was still under construction. Then a friend who was renting a house a couple doors decided to get married and wanted to buy a house and said "Hey! I'll buy your house. I'll just need to go through and get the financing/mortgage stuff approved."

Excellent, SOLD!

But since we were under contract with the realtor, she got the commission even though she didn't find the buyer.

Angry

If it was purely your lead, she had no business taking a full commission.

Tree NINE! NINE!

Stay focused. Keep ponding. Dedicate an hour or two each weekday to the pursuit. Think of it as you new, charitable "job".

Get your rear-end to the area for 4 or so days , canvas on your own and buy something.

My view of the residential home market is that it is going absolutely crazy in a bubble.

Sell now at the top of the market, bank your money, move to an apartment for 6-months to a year and bank your equity.

The housing market is in a big economic bubble driven by low mortgage rates. I think it will be cooling off as mortgage rates move upward over the next few months. At least, that's what I would do if the wife were in agreement.

As to your purchase, try to make it and lock in a rate ASAP!!!

(...and if you are going to be in Jacksonville for a few days, I would enjoy getting together for a herf!)

Another nice day on tap in LA. Tomorrow is another story, weather alert in place from 0800 in the morning unrtil 1600 in the afternoon. At least I will not have to stay awake to monitor the weather tomorrow.

I just placed a nine lb brisket flat on the BGE for an eight hour smoke. BGE not up to temp but on it's way to 250.

Sounds like an ear infection Dan, get well soon, the sick people are staking up. jester

Good Monday Morning! It's a gorgious 67° on the way to 79° today.

One of our neighboors just got a $170k for a 16 foot retaining wall so he can have a pool built in his back yard, pure insanity, the price and getting a pool, IMO. That is juts for the wall, it still has to be filled, compacted and then a pool built.

Ugh... owning a pool is a PIA right and up there with owning a boat.

What's better than owning a pool or a boat? Knowing a friend that owns a pool or a boat.

I have a friend with a pool and a boat. Same guy, too. I just bring beers and cigars and split costs for gas/bait.

Of course, he uses me for slave labor at times. I help with maintenance and have also helped with yard work and stuff...

Totally worth it.

Yup, we had one when I was in HS, they are an expensive PIA. Our neighborhood association has one. I was asked if I wanted to help plan a larger replacement, I said sure, as long as we're planning to fill it in with dirt. fog

Kinda miss this guy, RICKAMAVEN (RIP). He would fit right in on many of the discussions and banter we still have going. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

(let's see if this link works) http://www.cigarbid.com/Forum/c/search/#0|25

He popped into my brain while doing some house cleaning. On a comment of a picture he posted of his and wife's hummel collection way back when, someone told him that he should dust the shelves.

His reply: (paraphrase) In my house dust is a noun not a verb.

I think in MA we get an extra couple days for tax filing deadline due to some silly state holiday.

https://www.mass.gov/news/april-19-2022-is-income-tax-filing-deadline

Don't matter much to me, they are already in and done... just gotta send a check to the state before the deadline.

Iffn' I didn't have a pool I would not buy one but when it's 110+ this summer it sure makes it seem worth it. The other eight months it just sit there and still requires upkeep.

How about if the bread was moldy and you didn’t notice before toasting. Then you butter it with hard butter.
