Real Estate Q. We have not signed a contract with an agent, but have used one to walk through a few houses. We are interested in putting in a bid on a house that we walked through over two months ago. Are we legally required to place any bids through that agent? If so, are we required to do so for a certain period of time (since we last walked through the house)?

Real Estate Q. I have a real estate question. Who pays the real estate agent his fee/commission when it comes to selling vs renting? I always assumed the seller is the one to pay the fee in the sale of property whereas when renting an apartment for example it could be either the landlord or the renter? So who actually pays in both situations?

Real Estate Q. Hi three questions I have a friend whose family has a multi-unit residential building in Manhattan, NYC that is owned by a corporation, I believe a S Corp....my friend and 4 others are shareholders in this corporation, all equal. However, my friend is the only one who lives in this building and has a lease - it's her primary residence. The other 4 live elsewhere. from my understanding, if a homeowner sells their house they get $250,000 in tax-free profits if you sell your house and are single, double the amount if you are married, off the top. Is that correct? would my friend, married or single, be eligible for the same $250K/$500K tax-free profits as a legal resident shareholder if the above building is sold? would it be to her advantage to dissolve the corporation before selling their residential building? thank you Thomas

Real Estate Q. We had an accepted offer on a house, got an inspection and the day we signed the contract and left a deposit, we were told that there were other offers on the house. The sellers agent won't give us the opportunity to counter. Is this really fair if we went and got an inspection - shouldn't we at least be entitled to our money back for that. We only got it because our offer was accepted.
