My broker has a habit of reducing my comish and my co-workers splits in the middle of deals.
She promises a certain amount of money, but when the deal is done, or very close to closing, she manages to use OUR commish to sweeten the deal for the buyer, OR she just chops my comission in half.
Is this normal, or should I start shopping around for a new broker?
Thanx for all your help.

fair market seems derived from tax assessment but is much lower than asking price - is it a good indicator of what to offer?

My landlord want me to move to a house he just bought. He says it rent to own and in 30 years the house will be mine. So I did the math and It comes out to be $180,000. Is that to much for a 3 bedroom house in a small town in Southside VA.

I live in NY and several months ago, the landlord chose to do some toxic work in my apt on a weekend and gave me no notice (less than 1 hour). I had guests flying into town who were supposed to stay with me - including my 3 year old niece. The work was not done before they arrived and we were forced to check into a hotel because of the fumes. I left messages with the landlord, but never heard back. When rent time came, I deducted the cost of the hotel from the rent and included all supporting documentation. They cashed the check and have since been billing me the amount I deducted. I have heard there is a law in NY that if a landlord cashes a check, that means they accept payment in full, but can not find it in writing. Can anyone direct me to that law?

OK, I have a serious question here and I really need some help, so if anyone out there knows the answer please help us out. We entered into a 12-month lease with a landlord, moved in, and for a few months, the drier ones, the house was fine. In September we got a lot of rain, and noticed the roof leaking. After we called the landlord someone came out to check the roof and that's the last we heard of it. No repairs were made and the roof continued to leak. In December we sent the required 7-day notice to fix the roof or rent would be withheld, as the roof was leaking and mold was taking over the house. In January, with nothing fixed we sent another 7-day notice and informed the landlord that we would be calling the code enforcement department. Landlord then at the beginning of February began eviction proceedings. Code enforcement came out, inspected the house, citing numerous problems, and informed us that we were not supposed to even be living there.

It is a pretty new house (2 years old) which I ended up with in a divorce settlement. There are also a record number of homes for sale in Lincoln right now.

I am trying to refinance my home equity loan. Each time I try to call a lender, they all want to run my credit report which I understand because that is the only way to check my FICO, debt ratio and etc. But, won't it affect my credit score? I had 4 lenders checked my credit report already. Pls help.

We are buying a home August 28 and are looking to get our loan commitment. We can do a thirty day lock on Monday but would like to get loan commitment today if possible(we are getting close on that deadline). My husband is worried that if we get commitment today we are stuck with whatever the rates are on Monday when we actually lock the rate. He was wondering if it is possible to do a thirty day lock today and have the loan for a few days before we actually buy the house. I don't think so. Any ideas?

I JUST had a mortgage loan modification to pull my house out of foreclosure, and the last three month's payments have been on time, or at least before the 16th of the month. I can't pay my July payment until August 11th, and I will be sending my August payment on September 8th. I will be able to catch up after that. Will this be acceptable to my mortgage company, or will they immediately throw me back into foreclosure?

To pay the rent you have to deposit cash. You fill out 2 little pieces of paper, and they stamp them both and give you one back. Well, the last few times I was in a hurry and only filled out 1. Now they are saying I didn't pay, and I can't prove. However I KNOW i paid it. They said its not on the log. I know I paid on July 6th in the drive thru window. Can I have them pull the camera footage from that day? Should I? Do they even have cameras there?
