Lawyers are paid a retaining fee upon hiring, whatever they set. If the amount of time needed exceeds what their retainer covered they are paid when they are finished, which should be closing.
My husband and I live in DFW and would like to purchase 5acres in the Hill Country. I know the Hill Country encompasses several cities so bare with me. How would we go about finding a realestate agent in the area? I already tried googling it but none of the realtors had critiques and would appreciate insider help.
First of all, plan on spending a ton of money. Not a lot…a TON. The Hill Country has become wildly popular, and those good folks up there know it, and they’re laughing all the way to the bank.
Secondly, if you’re looking for five acre tracts, they’re likely to be found in gated subdivisions with pretty tight restrictions, or in backwoods areas with NO restrictions (mobile homes and junk cars). The likelihood of finding a friendly farmer who will lop off a corner of his pasture to sell you is slim to none.
Third, Google real estate agents in the following areas: Boerne, Comfort, Bandera, Fredericksburg (a TON of money), Blanco and Kerrville. These areas are in the "hilly-est" parts of the Hill Country. Century 21 real estate agents in these areas tend to be pretty reliable. You can also check out Trulia.com and enter any of these town names. There are, of course, lots of other towns in the Hill Country, but these seem to be the most popular. (Insider tip: take a look at www.doehneoaks.com)
Good luck!

real estate for selling and buying properties.. i have started a website www.keralarealmarket.com , now i want to have more traffic into that web page and i expect income from both advertisements and brokerage for selling and buying of properties by our clients. how can i run the site successfully?
I have no idea where you are located, as the place names are unfamiliar to me.
However, there are a few things that are important for a real estate website:
1. Provide the opportunity for website visitors to find properties they are interested in. I visited your site and it seems that you are already doing this. However, if it is possible to provide photos, this would be an enhancement. Website visitors like to see photos of properties. And make the photos descriptive and pretty.
2. I’m not sure what percentage of people where you are look at the internet for real estate, but if you want to get your website on the first page of results for your area, look into Pay per click or sponsored advertising. To get in natural results takes time, at least 6 months or even longer. Study Search Engine Optimization (SEO) so that you can make your website search engine friendly as well. Also use your domain name in your advertising (in the newspaper or elsewhere) so that before your website shows up in search engine results, people begin to become aware of your website.
3. Provide a sign in sheet for website visitors to request more information. This is essential so that you can capture contacts and follow up with them. And do follow up. Create a dialogue the same as you would in person. Many people who visit websites for real estate in the US are "just looking". Thus make your sign in sheet voluntary to avoid a lot of fake email addresses and contact information. If your sign in sheet is voluntary, you can interpret visitor sign ins as possibly being "almost" ready to purchase. Sometimes you have to follow up with people for a long time before they are ready to purchase.
4. Create a newsletter or something with good information about real estate in general or in your area that you can send to your contacts each month. For those who are not yet ready to purchase, this will remind them of you so when they are ready, they will contact you (hopefully).
Getting real estate business for the internet is a tricky thing. The most important thing is to give people the information they want, follow up quickly and keep in touch with the people who do sign in at your website.
Good luck.
My realestate agent says the termites are not a "major defect".
You’re real estate agent’s lying to you. They just want their commission. Look, here in California it’s the law that the house must have a termite inspection before the close of escrow. Also, the seller is responsible for making all repairs. Don’t get suckered into buying something that’s not livable.

l watched the program on tv and he souned pretty good but am not really sure if what him and his student said are really true. cos they all testified to buying realestate with no money down. is that real or is it a scam.
sweetie, have you been living under a rock? pick up the business journal, or read any news, or watch any financial report. the market is dead and people are bankrupt for doing EXACTLY what the book urges.
do i need to get a realestate lawyer? who pays closing costs, building inspectors and whaterver else needs to be done?
Getting an inspection would be a very good idea, preferably someone who knows mobile homes.
Are you just buying the mobile home or is there land with it? If there’s land, definitely get a real estate lawyer to handle the paperwork and closing.
If you are just buying the mobile home and no land, it may be more like a car sale. Many states title mobile homes just like a car.
Hi
I am looking for a bank that will finance a real estate loan with maybe 10-20% down payment. I am not working in US neither do I have a SSN in US. I work in Europe but are looking for banks that can give loans for buying real estate in US.
You are out of luck. No bank will risk that kind of liability.
You see all this, sell on ebay, buy realestate, bla bla bla stuff on TV. Well whats the truth. How can I make a good living and still work from home.

IAM JUST STARTING OUT AS A NEW REALESTATE AND NOTE BUYER. I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP ON HOW TO DO THIS KIND OF JOB. IF SOMEONE CAN SHOW ME HOW TO BUY REALESTATE AND NOTES I WILL appreciate it thanks god bless.
Just ask people or companies who carry promissary notes to sell them to you at a discount, then have them legally assign the note to you and pay them for it.
