*The realtor did tell me that the people that lived in it stripped out the copper pipes underneath the house.
If it was last appraised @ 43k, does that mean I’ll have to spend 30k to fix it?

You would really need to have it professionally inspected for the right answer. But it does sound like the house is pretty messed up. I believe saying the house is priced accordingly is a polite way of saying the house needs a lot of work. The big downside is people aren’t willing, or don’t have the money to make the repairs. People are pretty lazy. They want to move into a perfect house and aren’t even willing to paint a room or two.

It isn’t just the plumbing you have to worry about. Plumbing isn’t that expensive. But the roof probably needs to be stripped and re-shingled. It might need a new furnace, a water heater, it might have electrical problems. It might be filthy or have broken windows.

A lot of the repairs aren’t that difficult but most people don’t have the energy after working all week.

Would you have to spend 30k to fix it? I doubt it. Yes the repairs could be spendy. But the price difference between the $43,000 and the $12,000 is probably a mixture of needed repairs and the difficulty in finding somebody willing to buy the house and do it.

A professional inspector checks everything from roof to foundation. Unless you do that you don’t know what you are getting. The house could be rotten with termites. The foundation could be bad. I keep seeing the price of $8000. But that is only after learning if the house is worth it or should be burned to the ground.

What is the price of a vacant lot?

thanks!!!

type "Malibu California Real Estate" in the yahoo search bar and page after page of company’s and private names will appear on the screen.

the cost (fees etc) is pretty standardized, it won’t vary much from one company to the next. expect it to be 8% to 10% of the total sale price.

any suggestions??

thanks

Try changing your web browser is the only thing i can think of. so if u have Internet explorer change to safari or google chrome. i strongly doubt that going in and messing around with the registry if you do not know what you are doing will be any help whatsoever

We feel that REALTOR.com has not been responsive to the needs of REALTORS and that the current relationship between NAR and Move,Inc. (as currently constituted) is not in our interest as REALTORS for the following reasons:

1) Move, Inc. has a long standing pattern of raising fees on REALTORS and charging them exhorbitant fees in comparison with the costs of developing a national real estate listings site. Fees (which yet again are expected to be raised in 2009) are out of line with what other national listing aggregator websites cost their shareholders. Why should we be paying many multiples of what companies like Trulia and Zillow are costing THEIR shareholders for aggregating real estate listings on their sites?

2)After being provided ALL of our listings and photos, they have stripped off all but four, unless REALTORS pay them an annual “enhancement” fee. This effectively takes our clients and holds them hostage until we pay their “fee”. Much of this fee goes right back into “Sales expenses” which are Move,Inc.’s marketing to REALTORS that they MUST have their service. This adds HUGE costs to what is needed for a national website and is NOT acceptable.

3) In a world where many websites offer REALTORS social networking opportunities to connect REALTORS to potential clients, REALTOR.com has been sorely lacking in developing these types of programs.

4) The 2007 10K (released Feb 28, 2008) from Move, Inc. shows STAGGERING General and Administrative Expenses of over Million and Sales expenses of over 8 Million..these expenses are RIDICULOUS given their online properties and a development expense of Million. While we realize that this includes Top Producer and other assets of Move, Inc., that actually makes the ratio of development / Sales, General and Administrative Expense even MORE out of line. We are tired of having NAR tell US to pay for THEIR inefficiency.

We are not against paying for what WE receive. If you want to charge us for “enhancing OUR contact information” then fine. But don’t hold our CLIENTS and CUSTOMERS hostage. That is unconscionable. Many of them don’t know what you are doing to us and if they did, they would find it incredibly offensive.

More importantly, because the National Association of Realtors leased the rights to our web presence to third parties, they put themselves in the position of defending REALTOR.com’s inefficiencies and deficiencies to the general membership for their own financial gain.

We call on NAR to take steps to BUY BACK Realtor.com from Move, Inc. or to buy a controlling interest in Move, Inc. to provide a national listings site for REALTORS at a price that is REASONABLE and RATIONAL. With the current stock price so low, a controlling interest can be purchased at a reasonable price and other assets like TopProducer can be spun off to repay (partially) the investment. This is a strategy that makes SENSE.

Until NAR SERIOUSLY takes up this issue and hears our concerns, we vow to raise awareness, talk to the press, let our clients know what you are up to, and most importantly, we will NOT continue to pay higher and higher fees to cover Move, Inc.s inefficiencies and largess.

We do not do this out of spite. We do this to protect OUR good name and our industry. It only makes sense with Move, Inc’s stock price this low to take these actions. We call on you to address these concerns completely, totally, and immediately.
