I did a friend a favor and I got a buyer for her home on a mortgage short sale.
Mortgage company guidelines state she needs a realtor to sell her home.
I am not a realtor or licensed .
Yet how do I go about it to get that 6% commission from mortgage company?
What... Read more »
I don't practice Texas law, however, you probably can't get a commission legally because you need to be licensed either as a real estate agent or broker. You could look into whether it is permissible to receive a finders fee in Texas: https://legalbeagle.com/8579336-texas-finders-fee-laws.html

There is a house in North Carolina, the homeowners have not paid all of their taxes for the past 3 years. The neighbors told me the house was in foreclosure but the courthouse did not have it registered. I have wanted this house for awhile I see a lot of potential in it. Any help? Can I buy it?...

It would be difficult for an attorney here to answer your questions based on this limited information. If you contacted a real estate attorney in North Carolina, they might be able to assess the situation in detail and advise in a meaningful manner.

How a would go about getting my bond money back?
Multiple issues control this. First, is the case over yet. If so, then yes.
In still pending, on misdemeanor cases, after 12 months, you can ask the court to release you as surety.
I also want to request a minimum creditors bid, where would it be appropriate to ask for this? I am filing a summons, complaint, lis pendens, and standing order. Thanks for your help!!
If you think you want to do this yourself, be aware that foreclosure is complicated; and since prevailing party attorney fees are normally awarded, it would be best to at least search for an attorney to do it for you. If you insist on doing it yourself, I suggest that you look at other foreclosure... Read more »

My grandpa died over a year ago and the mortgage company was informed of his passing and that no one had a desire for this property. A debt collection lawyer has sent me a paper in regards to the mortgage debt trying to claim me to it and this property is in ohio where he lived and I live in... Read more »
You should ask in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > Ohio, but if Ohio mortgage law is anything like most places, simply ignore the paper you received; the mortgage company can't get a personal judgment against you, the best it can hope for is a judgment giving them the right to sell the property.
My sons grandfather passed in 2015 and left his home to my son in his will. We've been living here since before he passed with him and continued to live here after.

I agree that you need a “professional opinion,” which means that you should engage a lawyer to look into the situation and give you advice.
From your brief description, it sounds like there may have been a mortgage against the property, unpaid taxes or a judgment that was not paid, any... Read more »
Do I need a lawyer if my mortgage company accepted the terms for a loan modification but they foreclosure has yet to be formally discharged
Yes you should retain counsel to examine everything. Mortgage companies typically do a trial modification prior to granting a permanent modification.

We separated two years ago, and part of our agreement was for me to move out, and she'll retain the home, as long as she can maintain the monthly payments. At the time of agreement, I didn't have the resources to do things the RIGHT way and wanted the path of least resistance to just take my loss... Read more »
What you have not confirmed is whether you are on title as well as the loan. If on title, bring a partition action to sell the property by court order, and in turn, pay off the loan. That may also force her to refinance. If there is no equity in the property, there is little you can do, but let... Read more »

When a lender assigns a note and mortgage, the debt remains with the borrower even if the property is sold subject to the mortgage.
Also, if the bank will take the house for what's owed to them, can the surviving family take over the debt so that they can keep the house?

You are right to be scared. Do not do this without the assistance of an attorney. In addition, do not do this without the assurance of title insurance. An attorney or a title insurance company can tell you what steps will be required in order for you to obtain clear title in your particular case.
