We are looking to buy a house. We found a real estate agent before we found the house we really want. It’s a foreclosed home. How does the real estate agent get paid?

I called a real estate company and i didnt ask that question but looked at gaining my real estate license from internet. I know real estate, i have 7 homes that i rent out, but unsure about the truth about online colleges. Please help. Thank you.

A lien was recently [July, 2007] placed by the IRS against a piece of Real Estate in New York that is owned by an Estate that I am the Executor of.

How long do I have from the time the lien was placed by the IRS to the time that the IRS forces the property for sale or auction? If the property is forced for sale or auction by the IRS is there some type of redemption period that I have?

The Estate does not want me to sell the Real Estate.
The estate will be able to pay the IRS what it owes within three months. Do I have that much time before the property is placed to auction or sale?

Im a senior in high school and plan on going to a community college for 2 yrs.and then 2yrs. at a university and major in bussiness administraion. I think while Im doing that I should intern for a big real estate place like Remax or something because I would like to learn the different areas of real estate like being an agent or flipping houses.I don’t know if I should go to Real Estate school after college or what.Any suggestions on what I should do?

I am planning to get my California Real Estate License by taking the required classes in a community college. Do they really focus on what will be on the test like a private real estate class would? Do you recommend I take this class?

Im a 22 yr old African American female from Tennessee planning to take real estate classes in the fall. I plan to go into the field and succede either way but just wanted to know some success tips from established agents, brokers, lenders, or anyone having to do with the real estate world. Also, willing to travel.

I am in escrow on some property in which the seller and his real estate agent were not very forthcoming in their disclosure statements. Through a third party I found out some things about the property that are detriments (such as occassional flooding) but I am willing to overlook them and still purchase the property. I have released all my contingencies and we have a close date set.

My real estate agent happened to tell the seller’s real estate agent that we found out some of these things on the property – most importantly about the flooding – and now the selling real estate agent wants me to sign a bunch of documents listing out what I found out as if she had told me about them. I don’t want to do it – it took considerable effort for me to uncover these issues and I have already signed off on contingencies. I don’t think I need to also let her off the hook as if she had disclosed these things to me – she did not. Can the realtor force me to sign these?
I am asking if a real estate agent can legally force me to sign informal and misleading documents in order to progress with the purchase? The seller and I have already signed all legal documents as outlined in our legal contract.

I am interested in going into real estate when I finish college and have been looking around at schools. Century 21 offers their own course (3 weeks) and another real estate company offers one for 6 weeks while the community college offers one for 8 months that trains you how to appraise and broker as well as just getting your license to sell.

Which program is best and what is the difference between being a real estate agent (seller) and a broker?

The costs range from $600-$2500

I’m planning on going into real estate. Can anyone help me by directing me to a good website or providing info that I need to take the real estate exam. Should I enroll for a class or should I read up some books. If books, then what books do you recommend?

I want to get my real estate licenses, but I don’t have time to go to school. I would rather work for a company that will train me. If not, how do I go about getting my licenses in the least amount of time as possible?
