  1. I got a big flat rectangular plot, 4 big maples out front, one off the side of the house. Slap the hydrostatic drive lock in full speed, throttle up to 100%, pop the magnetic deck drive, and an hour later I'm done.

    25 horse, 50" deck

  2. Not to derail the thread but I've always wondered how you snow blow a gravel driveway? Control the height? Last thing I want is rocks thrown in my yard" I keep the height up on the plow.

    My tracks adjust, allows me to adjust height by angle.

  3. I think this is all overkill for 2 acres and Columbus snow.

    I got a used 25 horse 50" mower for a few hundred and it knocks out my 3+1/2 acres in about an hour.

    I bought a little 5 horse craftsman snow blower with tank tracks for less than 100,

    It knocks out my horse shoe driveway in 45 mins with a foot or so of accumulation.

  4. How long are your toes? I keep way up on the balls of my feet often borderlining tiptoeing on the peg. When I need to touch the rear brake in a parking lot or adjust in a turn I slide my door forward

    I'm similar, my doors are always sliding forward. Lol

    I near tiptoe the right peg when a significant loss of speed isn't immediately impending.

  5. So where were the good honest realtors that said no to people buying 10x the house they could afford priror to 2008?

    That's right all they care about is their commission.

    Andthe realtors are the one advertising on radio, especially stations that have a lot of minority listeners, that it is everyone's right to and part of the American dream to own your home and get, contact a local realtor today and they'll get you in debt for the next 30 years....

    Also it was the Clinton administration that threatened the banks into approving loans to people who could not afford them. And the realtors who just went a long with it.

    The good Realtors were there giving good advice. Then you got slimy real estate agents like asa Cox who promise $100,000 homes for zero down and 300 a month, and her clients are 95% in foreclosure...

  6. Of course you could assumethey wouldn't give any back but they get to keep it instead of giving it to a buyers realtor. So take that % off the sell price. Literally or not.

    2 offers to buy at exactly the same purchase price. One buyer has a realtor, the other buyer does not. The buyer without a realtor has a higher chance of getting his offer accepted.

    If you're dealing with slimy real estate agents maybe, Realtors have higher ethical standards. My mom was a realtor.

  7. So if your buying a listed house, the listing company realizes they don't have to pay the buyers agent, because you don't have one, from the fee % the listing agent set with the home seller and wouldn't they, the listing realtor, be more willing to persuade the owning seller to accept a private party offer?

    The listing agency has a contract for 7%, why would they accept less?

    The listing agent gets a couple, the listing agency gets some, and the buyers agent gets a little.

    But there is no reason the listing agency would give any back if the offer was for less.

  8. Legal Paper works cheap. Screw a realtor for buying. Unless you're really uneducated.

    As stated before, as a buyer it costs nothing, the seller has already agreed to pay when they listed with the agent. The only exception is if you find a fsbo home, in which case you're not going to ask a Realtor to show you this home because they would get no commission.

  9. hahah

    I am trying to stay close to 11 as well as boardman due to being close to good day care etc, plus i will be driving between east liverpool, salem/ lisbon and boardman every day

    Am i making a mistake by dealing with the realtor who listed the house for sale directly without my own agent?

    Realtor really should at least assign you another realtor from their own agency, too much of a conflict of interest playing both roles.
