Meet Kevin ROASTS Real Estate Reddit

Good neighbor ruined our open house.

What can I do? Nothing. Had my open

house today and my neighbor trespassed

onto my property. Oh, actually came in

and came into my house and screamed at

my realtor and five prospective buyers

who were touring the house telling them

they can't be parked on the side of the

road. What a

Karen. Oh, mind you, they were parked in

front of my house along the road. Nobody

was parked in front of her house. I will

admit, we live on a relatively busy

road, okay? But it's not illegal for

people to park on the side of the road.

Honestly, I hate the Karens who are like

the parking enforcement agents of

neighborhood streets. Don't park on my

street. I want to park my fifth wheel on

that side and my son Johnny is going to

park over there and I'm going to park

over

here. And and I love how this person's

like, "My neighbor ruined my open house.

I had my open house today and my

neighbor trespassed. No, they didn't. If

it was an open house, they didn't

trespass. If you want to prevent them

from coming again, you could call the

cops and have them trespass from your

property, but until then, you can't do

anything. You had an open house that was

open to the public. This is what

happens. And who cares? You had some

people touring the house. The odds are

they're not going to buy the damn house

anyway. Most homes don't sell at an open

house. And people don't understand what

the point of an open house is. It's so

simple. An open house is so real estate

agents can shoot fish in a freaking

barrel. You snipe them because anyone

who wants to get into real estate in the

future, either selling a house or buying

a home in the future, they go to the

open house and start like educating

themselves. And the realtors are just

like head shot headshot head because

they're picking up all these client

leads. It's easy. It's the easiest way.

Like the highest dollar per hour money

you can make as a real estate agent or

broker is by holding open houses and

just being a nice person. Like don't be

a creepy sleag. Provide value to people.

Stop pressuring them to sign your stupid

dumbass forms. Just help people, damn

it. and if they like you, they'll

actually maybe call you and work with

you. But if you're like a high pressure

sales biff loser, then you're not going

to get clients from an open house. But

open houses are sniper fodder for real

estate agents. Easy mode. Okay. Now, can

you trespass your neighbor? Sure. Is she

then going to get pissed off and do more

to ruin your day? Yes. Get over it. Then

don't sell it through an open house.

Then do private showings. you ain't

going to sell at an open house anyway.

The only way homes sell during an open

house is when agents do things like they

list it on a Friday and they do no

showings until the open house. But if

you are a normal person and you list

your home on a good day, like a Monday,

Tuesday, or Wednesday, so you can get it

in for broker tour and actually have the

serious buyer show up, the serious

buyers who are pre-approved and ready to

go, will show up at your house ready

with a scheduled viewing the same damn

day or worst case, the next day. They're

not going to wait for the stupid open

house to go buy your home. This person's

whining on Reddit when frankly if they

priced their home properly, it probably

would have sold before the open house

anyway. This person says, "I busted my

ass to make this house look great. And

for something like this to happen is

completely demoralized me. People are

convinced that homes are open houses are

designed to sell homes." But you're

wrong. And the reason I mention this is

because you're crying about nothing. In

fact, it's probably why you're moving

cuz you're next to a Karen. What can I

do? Has anybody had a similar situation?

Nothing. Get over it. Former realtor

enjoying this rant. Thank you. I'd stop

having open houses and only do private

show. That's literally what I said.

Thank you. And just make sure to tell

your realtor not to park to poke the

bear. Totally agree. Just play nice

until you can move. Best comment ever.

Upvote. I'm not logged in, so I'm not

going to talk to your real estate agent.

They deal with this. What's the agent

going to do? Do this. Can the open

house? I used to litigate real estate

non-disclosure cases. Oh, here comes the

attorney. Neighbor disputes, etc. Given

the facts you've presented, my advice is

not to escalate. Oh my gosh, an attorney

saying, "Don't escalate. Get out of your

own way on the parking issue. Get the

place sold and move on with life." When

did Reddit actually become good in the

comments section? All three of those

comments. Perfect. I've been a homeowner

for 4 years. So, these are the biggest

things I wish someone told me on day

one. Home equity is a gold mine. Duh.

Switch auto insurance companies every

six. Oh, what a waste of time trying to

find investment. Get yourself a dang

adviser. Most people are under the false

impression that financial advisors are

just for wealthy people. They absolutely

aren't. Yeah, but a lot of wealth

advisors don't know anything about real

estate. You don't have to pay off debt

by yourself. This sounds This is reading

like an ad. Locked post. New comments.

Yeah, that reads like an ad. Oh, it is.

Yeah, it's promoted an open letter to

every poster asking why their house

won't sell. This is boring. Realtor told

us we were not allowed to share offer

contract with our lender. What? That

sounds stupid. How How are they supposed

to finance the property? Realtor sends

us an offer. We noticed a section about

our commission being left to say we

cover it blah blah because they just

recently changed the contracts. Uh this

just sounds like a bunch of complaining.

I don't care about this. Buyer didn't

send deposit now wants to sue me. Oh,

okay. I'm selling my home and I accepted

my offer 3 weeks ago. A week went by and

the deposit was not received when it

should have been. However, they did

their home inspection. We followed up

several times and the buyer's realtor

said they needed time to think about

something in the report. Still no

deposit received. File a notice to

perform and kick them out, bro. We

decided not to waste the time and go

back on the market since the agent said

the contract was no longer valid without

a deposit. No. Uh you you actually need

to contractually take steps to cancel

the contract. And it depends on the

state that you're in. But for example,

in the state of California, the contract

still stands and you need to send what's

called a notice to perform that says

buyer, you have, you know, 3 days or 2

days or whatever to deposit your

deposit. Otherwise, we will unilaterally

cancel the contract. You have to follow

the terms of the contract. And the

contract will provide you the steps for

doing this. And a good realtor should

understand this. You can't just declare

a contract isn't valid. We have since

found a new buyer, and now the previous

buyer is threatening to sue me for not

disclosing something. Well, they didn't

buy it yet, so you can't really You're

not You haven't been damaged. You could

just cancel. I filled out a disclosure

and everything we knew about the home

has been honestly disclosed. Do these

people have any recourse? No. They don't

own the property. Okay. Like, this

person's like so so lost. This person

needs a real estate agent, first of all,

or an attorney to look at their contract

and make sure they fully cancel the

contract with the other person. The

worst case scenario is the other

person's out 500 bucks on a on a home

inspection. Who cares? They didn't buy

the property. How could you be damaged?

decided to sell our house. Why is who

cares? Hey guys, 33year-old male,

California. About two years ago, my wife

and I bought our first home. I grew up

in the pro I grew up in poverty with

drugaddicted parents and we jumped from

motel to motel. Big story here. Started

to realize blah blah blah blah blah. We

bid off more than we could choose. So,

we've decided to sell. Our mortgage is

$4,200 with a 7% interest rate. Dude,

you're going to get hosed. That means

you just bought the property. You're

going to be so upside down. Uh, let's

see. Honestly, we're miserable. It feels

like any minor setback will cause us to

lose our house. Oh, basically, they're

payment poor. Inflation is kicking our

butt. Yes, they're payment poor. They're

living paycheck to paycheck. They're

payment poor. It's a horrible feeling.

It's a terrible feeling. Nobody wants to

be in this situation. They got in over

their heads with monthly payments, so

their incomes aren't high enough to

sustain this. This is very common. That

said, a lot of people are selling

because they can't afford their mortgage

uh anymore. for now, we're going to live

with the in-laws to help them because

they're disabled. It sucks because

they're going to get off the ride of

real estate. They may never own real

estate again, and they're almost

certainly going to lose money selling

the home that quickly. Sad. So, I I feel

bad for them. Why is our house not

selling? Cuz it sucks. Link to listing

has been removed. Our house has been on

the market for 32 days. We've done two

open houses. Nobody cares. And six

groups of people coming into two open

houses. Well, six per open house.

Terrible open house. That's very slow.

That's a very, very slow open house.

Based on our realtor suggestion, we

priced it at 399 and lowered to 385. I

seen equivalent homes in our area go

into contract with a couple weeks of

listing, making me wonder if we're

priced to high. No

shame. I wish I had the listing. We

could bag on the listing. Somebody says,

"You could tell the IQ is very low,

too." Somebody says, "Wealth advisors

are risky. It's not uncommon to find an

adviser who either doesn't know what

they're doing or just trying to get a

commission." Well, yeah. I mean, that's

one of the downsides, unfortunately, of

uh uh just any professional. It's it's

hard to get a professional that you

trust uh and you know, can fully believe

in, right? Hey, quick reminder. If you

want to earn a 5% yield plus all of the

upside in my real estate startup, we are

offering a nonacredited investor round

where we will pay you a 5% yield plus

you get all of the upside in the stock

when your stock converts in the future.

It gives you an opportunity to diversify

away from rich stock market valuations,

diversify away from most tariff risk,

diversify away from the craziness of the

treasuries market, especially with these

Moody's downgrades. You diversify into

fixer upper real estate, which is what I

believe I do best. This is my baby. I

call it my little Birkshire Hathaway.

Now, maybe I'm biased, but I've got over

$5 million of my own money invested into

this business, and I'm so excited for

what I think we're going to be able to

do with this business over not just the

next years, but the next decades. So, if

you want to invest in my real estate

startup, go to househack.com and know

that I will do everything for this

business in my power to make sure we can

do the absolute best that we can. Make

sure to read the solicitations and
