Agent Exposes Real Estate Industry - Shaheedah Hill Unedited | First Time Homebuyer Tips and Advice

Is it normal to speak to more than one real estate agent when you are in the house buying process?

You look stunning.

You should do a video about PMI. I’m thinking of canceling mines after 4 years . Do you think it’s ok ? I been looking to see if you covered that on any of your videos but I don’t see anything.

You ate forgetting that new agents always have a Managing Broker working with them as such with a new agent a buyer gets 2 agents for the price of 1.

I'm African American in the Rocky Mountains. Now, African Americans in the South are being exposed to the country with different accents, skin colors and names. This is good!

What areas do you work in ? I live in NY but looking in NJ

Thank you so much for this!!!!!!

I have an agent but she does not tell me anything
Can I buy an insurance policy when I am trying to buy a house?

I know you will soon start your own Real Estate School. A lot of what you're sharing is worthy or realtors paying for their required continuing education credits. You're an excellent teacher with top notch integrity. 💯💯

Thank you for these videos, my agent first tried to persuade me to buy a home because the taxes were cheap, but I knew better, I knew that once the owners sell the property, the property will get reassessed with the newer and higher value, and I will end up paying more, a lot more.... Lie number one... Then I realized how tight my budget was and I knew that I needed all the help I could get when it came time to close on a home, so I asked him, in the even that I came up short at closing, could he donate even something as little as 500 dollar or one thousand dollars from his commission to help me close on a home he did not even show me because he was too busy that day to show me the home and he said "he is not allowed too" were his exact words and he does not even work for a real estate company, he works for himself... And now after watching your video, I now learned that this is another lie... Well long story short, I may not know a lot like him, but he does not know what parts and pieces I know about real estate, so when I caught him lying to me the first time, I got rid of him in a very polite way because, if he is willing to lie to me about the taxes, what else will he like to me about, just to get the deal done... I decided I could not trust this man, so do I really want him to administrate the largest transaction of my life, I don't think so... My gut feeling about him was that, he just wanted to close a deal, any deal, make a commission and move on with his life and never speak to me again after the transaction... For this reason, these videos are very very important, needless to say if you were local, I would love for you to be my buyer's agent... Thank you for taking the time out of your day to make videos like these to inform the public... God bless your heart...

Thank you!!!!

I’m a first time homebuyer. I connected by chance with a realtor on Zillow. The realtor has been consistent in sharing options and connecting me with a mortgage person who has also been extremely helpful. Over a few months, mostly by family recommendations, I’ve somehow been connected to 3 other realtors. I’m overwhelmed. Is there some sort of rule for working with different realtors and them sending me options?

I was working with an agent who was only his second sale and a broker who I didn't like at all but he didn't get involved until we were already putting in offers. His intrusion kept muddying everything and creating more doubt and suspicion on whether he was actually representing us honestly. We found out a lot of shady stuff because they'd mistake and accidentally forward something in a text, email, etc. every concern we had about a property he would downplay and undermine it. Also, a lot of the sellers were also shady brokers and real estate agents and they were also doing some illegal stuff about hiding things.

All this to say our broker dumped us at 6 months but he created so much distrust in the process (and this was our 3rd house buying after selling 2). I want to report him or leave him such a bad review but I am trying to refrain. It just sucked to be on the receiving end of that and when we started working with our current agent who has been in the business for 25 years we had to remind ourselves to trust again and hit the reset. It might help realtors to get to know their clients previous experiences to gauge potential hiccups in the process. We got spooked and backed out of many places just because we couldn't trust our realtor and his annoying broker.

Thank you for giving great, free information. If you go under contract but change your mind the next day (I know that’s not good) can you cancel the process?

Shadeedah I wish you were an agent in Houston. 😢 😂 ❤❤❤

You are a blessing…Thank you for your transparency and Honesty. You’ve made me feel comfortable in what I need to look out for & look into. Thank you wish u were an agent in Nashville Tennessee.

wow, thanks for this information, I think this is what happen to me, I was given one realtor and another realtor called me. I think because of my budget for Jacksonville hmmm, something to think about. The other realtor had no clue of our situation when she called us.

Thank you Mrs. Hill! You are a gem.💜💜

So true with new agents and again i had a new agent who abertised the hell out of a home i had and it was her first house sold. Only she had no knowledge on industry standards when i comes to painting. She was a air head in this. I have over 20 years expirence as a licensed business. I had top skills and expert. I still like expirence realtor caose you don't have to babysit them in the process. Very good videos you have. Elkhart, Ind. in the newspaper had to get a realtor that deals more than 1/3 in houses in your price range. Like a car dealer who sells new Lambergines or jAGS THOSE CLIENTS are much different than a used VW whole different customers. This same works on homes. What i am having is a lot of realtors start out good with what i am looking for in a home. I am not buying high end properties that are turn key. I had bought HUD AN REO properties in past and skilled in all areas but centeral air. I am pre qualfied and good income from full retirement in Mich. school system and a very good social security inome. I am not fussy just full basement and 3 bd on main floor. I will turn basement into my unit and have adult foster care on main floor. Very good cash flow and no state tax on income just federal. Hard to find a realtor that will sell fixer upper -- just little repairs. 750 credit score

Thank you for your honesty! Your awesome!

Helpful information thanks!!!

As a real estate agent in Ga this is a very transparent video into how the real estate business works. Real estate is a profitable business but more so for the relationships forged with potential clients and making families happy!

I love that you talk about building your business on buyers. How did you go about learning all the different programs? I like buyers.

thank you for sharing this. i am a first time home buyer . looking to buy my first home. would love for you to assist me with that journey,

Hello Shaheedah! I have a question. Do I need to work with a realtor if I buy a new construction home? The sales agent said that I don’t really need an agent.

i live in new york could i get your numbet

As a teacher, I understand the struggles 😅

This was great. I’m ready for the lender 1

Is being a real estate agent is dangerous for women with showing homes?

🤎thank you

Hi am planning to buy a house in the next 5 month as a first time buyer, what iis the dose and don't am in Florida

Always like your trademark saying 'getting you over the hill, you know cause of your last name lol

People that can only afford $100k are tarely in proximity of those above that price point. I learned this as a Financial Advisor, realtor and mortgage broker.
And yes it is much harder to work with those of lower means they far to often do not value you. Do not trap yourself in the struggle lane because those with more economic means won't see you.

Hi Ms Hill, I am currently under contract, loan is in processing. I agent wasn't too happy I didnt go with his lender who pre approved us. Agent's lender gave 6.872 rate and I got 6.1 with MCU. My reason wasn't the rate but I saw over 10k in brokerage compensation on the loan estimate from my agent's lender whereas MCU had only $900 in loan cost.

Hello Mrs Hill, I've heard of the first time homebuyers program for low-income. I've been calling around looking for help with NO SUCCESS I'm looking for a home for myself and my autistic granddaughter who's mom,my daughter recently passed. Please if you know of anyone or perhaps you can help I WOULD TRULY APPRECIATE IT. Thank You and GOD BLESS. I live in the state of Illinois

Mrs. Hill I appreciate how you expanded on this. Great education!

Thank you:)❤

Shaheeda... there are no good vidz with guides on preppin for a refi. Ur new homeowner guide was awesome and helped me get ready for my new home. Thank u. Can't believe it'll be a year already. But all of us that already bought are keepin our eyes peeled for a refi opportunity

Can you do a vid on how to prep for that? No cash out type refi. Just a simple refi. What docs do we need? What not to do? Like open new credit. Please and thank you! 😊

Thank you for answering my question about realtors working with price point qualifying buyers. Your honest answer gave me more confidence about searching for a realtor. Great video!

Why would a seller offers home warranty instead of fixing an issue? I am buying a home , boiler is 15 years old , inspector said it needs to be replaced but seller is refusing ,offers home warranty instead

I didn’t know that there was a formal agreement to enter into. I briefly looked at homes back in 2020 right before the interest rate drop to record low. Needless to say as a first time low income buyer I gave up but when looking at homes I simply contacted an agent from remax and we looked at homes there was no formal contract or anything. Is that bad?

Great video coverage 💯 Thank you for your insight. Very informative

I absolutely love the way you explain and assist first time homebuyers. ❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Im excited for the buyers video. Happy New Year!🎉
