Question by beach_babe971: when you get your license for a real estate agent, is that when you get your?
DRE license number? or do you have to do something else after you get your license? and for the calfironia assosiation of realtors, website it says you need a C.A.R. number and a NRDS number to be a member. what does that stand for and how do you get that?

and once you get a license, can you get the standard and state approves real estate forms like purchase offer and contracts of purchase offers? or do you still have to do something more before you can get all the forms?

Best answer:

Answer by M K
When you get your license (and you do not need the actual paper, you need just the number) you have to go to C.A.R. office and become a member. This is when you get C.A.R. and NRDS numbers.
After you become a C.A.R. member, which includes membership in National Association of Realtors and your local association, you can register on their Website and download Winforms (all and every official form you need.) By the way, in most cases you do not even need to download and print those forms, you can fill them out online and then print out. It’s better than writing in client’s names, property address, etc. by hand. Of course it’s a good idea to download the most common blank forms and have them with you, in case you need to write an offer and you are away from a computer.
To make the long story short, get your RE license number, go to C.A.R. office, pay a huge membership fee and you are set.

Question by generic: Is it better to use the listing real estate agent or use an agent you know to purchase a home?
I want to buy this bank owned property that I found. This is my first time buying a home and never used a realtor before. The home is listed for more then I want to offer buy it for, so I want to offer a lower price. I know a realtor who is really aggressive and I think he could get me the house for what I want it for. But I think there will be a few offers on this home. So would it be better if I were to just use the agent who is representing the bank and put my offer in? Would he have more power to negotiate with the bank rather then an agent not representing the bank? I’m not too sure how it works when you use a real estate agent to purchase a home that they are not listing. I know they get a 50/50 split on the commission when the home is sold. I really don’t care who I use, I just want to be able to buy the home for the price and terms I want it for.

Answer by Frank B
hire an agent with an ABR designation, they specialize in the repbresentation of buyers, and took the time to futher their knowledge in order to obtain the designation.
Ultimately it’s who you feel good representing you that counts.
Good luck, if you need an agent with a designation let me know.

Question by Kerri Bennett: What can I do if I got a formal offer (signed by us both) to purchase on my trailer & now they’re backing out?
I got an offer on my mobile home a few days ago after the lady did a walk through and she filled out an offer to purchase real estate and had me sign it (I accepted the offer) and then today, they were supposed to be coming back to look at it again. She called to verify a time and then a while later called again to say that the guy wasn’t willing to pay the amount already offered on a 1991 trailer so what was my bottom line I’d sell for. I told her that the offer that was made was the lowest I’d accept and now she’s called me three times saying that she has other buyers willing to pay the amount already offered! What should I do? I would think that the offer to purchase would be legally binding or what would be the point of it?!

Best answer:

Answer by James O
It is binding. You are entitled to the earnest money they put down on the property. Depending on what stipulations were in the contract. Take the money and sell to someone else.
