Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't know why, but I got completely obsessed with
the story that Diane did in Dirt yesterday and it
was the It was Nick Lache sold his house to
Naomi Osaka, and I realized, these are very famous people. So, oh,
you know what tangent for one second, will you write
down Tennis.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Please?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
There was I don't want to say great, but there was.
There was a fascinating story that came out yesterday. Anyway,
So Nick Lache sells his house to Naomi Osaka.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Years later, when Naomi.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Osaka decides she's going to sell her house, nick Lache
buys it back.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
And I don't know why. I can't shape that.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You know that happens pretty regularly, not with famous people,
regular people. It does as a matter of fact, and
I've never yeah, so I don't know why. And this
isn't a case and I mentioned this yesterday. This is
is in a case of like, oh, I went and
bought my childhood home because I have I have heard
of that, but I've never heard of somebody buying their
house back. Every house I've ever sold, I tell the buyers,
(01:14):
let me know when you're selling it, I might want
it back. By the way, these are normal people. These
are normal people. So far two of them reached out
to see if I was interested. Both times I was,
but I just wasn't able at the time to be
able to do it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Is that a common thing you're telling me?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It is?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, no, okay, or just saying that you mean I
have never and listen, I haven't.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I haven't sold many houses.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
But like when I sold when when when I sold
my house in False Church and moved to Arlington, the
guy who bought my house in False Church never called
us back when they well after he got fired and
then had and left town. They never called us back
and were like, hey, do you want to buy your
house back?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
But did you request to them?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
But that gets me to the next thing. Then there
were people that were like out of nowhere. They would
call the real estate agent who represented the seller and
just go, hey, if you want to tell the former
owners we're getting this could be five, six, seven, eight
years later, we're getting ready to sell the house.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Would they be interested? So they reach back on their own?
So is it?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And I don't know why I'm so fascinated by it,
but I really am.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
When the seller is telling the new buyer give me
the heads up if you ever put this back on
the market. Are they often leaving because of a job
and they don't really want to relocate, like they're kind
of being forced out. I don't mean by the bank.
I just mean that it's not up to them that
they are getting.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Sometimes when like military families get deployed, and then when
they get they get the chance to come back, then
they want to come back to the same neighbor neighborhood,
right if kids have friends.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
But now wait, I see now I have friends that
did that in my false church neighborhood to ben Koffski's.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I hope they don't mind.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
They no, no, they lived in they lived in our
neighborhood and then they ended up moving the mister ben
Koffski he ended up having having he took a job
in Seattle. Yeah, I don't know, working for whoever, and
then it turned out I don't know if they didn't
love it there or whatever, but they ended up moving back,
and they moved back to the neighborhood, but not the
(03:29):
same house.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Were they aggravated or they happy?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I mean, we knew them, but I wasn't like best
friends with them. But no, they seemed happy they're still
in that house that they moved back into.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I'm with Diane. If I'm in the same neighborhood, I
want to be in the same house. Well, but you
don't get the same Let's find.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Something you're like more.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It would drive me crazy. Drive by your old house, yeah, wonder,
Oh get out of my house the no, No, I'm
with you. I'm with you. But that's not always an option.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
You just don't get to move back into your neighborhood
and go all right, you out.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm moving back.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I know, but that would have been like if the
Benkowskis went back and moved into their original house.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
That would have been pretty awesome. If they liked that house.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
You know, it would have been or would be the
biggest kick in the rear end if you can't afford it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Anymore, Oh, I have that in here. Yeah, I have
that in here.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I bet that's not uncommon.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Well, that stuff increases, Yeah, value, Sure.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The house I sold seven years ago has gone up
in value. I did get asked if I wanted to
buy it back. I just couldn't afford it.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Oh that sucks. And had they requested to be notified.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Doesn't say it just says seven years later they were
going to try to buy.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Their house back.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But then so then I was reading all that, and
then there's some people that are saying, oh, no, no, no, no, no,
don't ever do that, because then they know you're emotionally invested.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You'll do then, you'll do whatever it takes.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And then there's people who go, no, yes, you may
be emotionally invested, but because they know you and you
know them, you can start cutting out reeltor fees, like
instead of both of you having a realtor, use the
same one, because you've already done this you know each other.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It's like how that summer rental in New Jersey wants
to go and rent me next summer off?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, right in right under the table.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
So were the Laches emotionally tied?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Did we not make this about the Laches and she
take advantage of their state? Well no, but remember they
said that it was that, I mean the house. She
had put a lot of work.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Into the house, and then she got more money for it,
now a million more for it.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I would like to sell my house to somebody, let
them do a tremendous amount of upgrades, and then sell
it to me.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
For what I sold it to them for.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Not No, of.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Course, it's the bathroom. Where am I going? Line one? Hi,
Elliet the morning?
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Hey is this me?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Have you done this before?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
No?
Speaker 7 (06:11):
So, my mother is a realtor. She's one of the
top realtors in Northern Virginia. She's sold hundreds of homes
in her career. Never heard of this, She's this is
just not very heard of.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Are you serious. I'm reading the whole forum. I'm meaning
the whole forum about it.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
She is the realtor. So the buyers or sellers have
probably never said, hey, you know, let me know when
this goes back on the market, or hey, go ahead
and you know, we'll circle back in eight years and
see if you want to rebuy the place. But no,
she's never heard of that, and I've never heard of
it either from her.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But like the first one, the very first one that
I was reading in this forum, every house I've ever sold,
I tell the buyers, let me know when you're selling it.
And so many people comment under that, We're like, oh,
we do the same.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We do.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's not like you're buying and selling a million houses
in your life. But yeah, we've definitely done the same thing. Hey,
by the way, is your mom is your mom Jennifer Young?
Speaker 7 (07:11):
No, she's Nicky Lagors.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Oh, very very nice. All right, very good. But you
were saying she's never heard of it.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
No, it's I mean, at least in this area, it's
not very common for people to buy back their houses.
I mean they'll call the same real sorr to be like, hey,
I want you to sell my house again, or I
want to buy a house again with you, but it's
never like, oh, I want my exact same house back.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Did you say your mom is nicky Legoris?
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:41):

Uh oh she works for Berkshire Hathaway.
Speaker 2 (08:04):

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Hashtag rubber dub dumb oh yes, hashtag stiletto hashtag surgery.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Hashtag hot oh bathwater? Hi Elliot the morning. Hello, Hello, Hi,
who's this Hey? This is Randall. Hey, yes, Randall, what
can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (10:12):
So three years ago me and my wife sold our
house when I joined the military, and since we moved
to Maryland, we always talked about buying our old house back.
Turns out my wife was keeping track of it on
Zillo and they completely changed the house that my wife
doesn't even want the house back now.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Oh really.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
So so like that whole desire to get it back,
you were able to go in and see that it's
all been changed and now it's not your house anymore.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Yeah, it's not our house anymore. It's not how we imagined,
it's not how we wanted it. So she's just like, no,
I don't want the house anymore. We'll find a different
house when we, you know, retire and win the lottery
or something.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
But you know what, like I could see that being
the case. Hey, thank you, sir, Thank you. I could
see that being the case. But you have to assume that, like,
if you sold your house, you're not getting your house
back in six months, right, is that if you sold
the house, that it's been a number of years. The
people who bought the house may make some changes or
do some things. I mean, I don't know that they
demolished the inside and redid it, but they may have
(11:13):
painted things or stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I always laughed thinking that if the previous owners of
my house walked through even they would say, you guys,
didn't change the window treatments.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No, still outdated. Let me go to line four. Hi
Elliott the morning, him.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
Morning, him good.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Who's this?
Speaker 9 (11:37):
My name is Sidney.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I'm a property manager. I work with owners who have
investment portfolios, and this is where I see this. A
lot people will move out of the home that they've
been living in, moved to somewhere else, but then down
the line, when they're ready to have an investment property
where they just rent it out, they like to go
back to the home that they had experience with. They
(11:58):
know the ins and out and the meetments of it
and everything they did beforehand.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So they'll buy back their old house, but not to
live in, but to have it as like an airbnb.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Or just to rent it out. A lot of people
also have portfolios where they own five or more properties
and a lot of their income, you know, supplemental income
comes from just renting it out and the markup on rent.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Now a lot of people, yeah, yeah, you know, all
those people who own five homes. I mean it's I mean, listen,
real estate, real estate in northern Virginia and Maryland is
it's so cheap. I can understand that. Like, that's crazy.
All right, very good, Thank you, ma'am. Line five, Hi,
Elliott the morning.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Hey this me Yeah, Hi, who's this? Hey?
Speaker 10 (12:44):
This is Tom and Richmond kind of along the same
lines with Diane was saying, I actually did this twice
because my parents were in the military and we moved
around a bunch.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
So you've bought back your old house twice.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
So I was my dad was on submarines, and I
was born up in Connecticut, which is a big sub base.
And then after a while we moved down to Norfilk,
which is also another big base, stayed there for a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
He got.
Speaker 10 (13:10):
Moved back up to Connecticut, so we moved back into
the same house in Connecticut, and then years later moved
back down to Norfolk, and we moved back into the
same house in Norfolk.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I like that. I like that. I like that a lot,
I really do.
Speaker 10 (13:25):
But yeah, I was. I was young, so I don't
know how they figured it out or if you like,
what the logistics were. But I know I moved a
bunch of times, but I've only lived in two houses.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But I wondered, Yeah, but I wonder if like, and
this may be too easy of assumption to make, but
like you look at it and go, like, maybe it
works easier in the military because of like deployments or
getting getting shipped around to different different bases where once
you're going back, that base is also moving. But I mean,
think of how lucky you have to get if you
(13:54):
want to go Like, let's say you sold your house
and it's five years later, six years, seven years later,
and you're like, uh, I'd really like.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
To move back.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You have to hope those people want to sell or
if those people contact you and go, hey, it's been
six years, we're moving.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Do you want your house back?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You have to be in a position to be able
to go, well, yeah, I'll sell my house. Like if
somebody called who I don't know who lives in, Hey,
thank you sir, thank you for your service.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I don't know who.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I don't know who lives in my false church house,
my mind my old false church house anymore. But if
they called and they were like, hey, do you want
your house, I'm in no position.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
You just go like, hey, Jack, you want to a house.
You want to sell our house so we can.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Move like you know what I mean. Like you have
to be you have to be in the right mindset
for that.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Moving in such a hassle.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
You have to be thinking about your portfolio. The okay,
I had this happened to me. The seller showed up
at my door, possibly to intimidate me, to ask if
they could buy back my house, then lowballed me when
the market was hot at that point, I said, no.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Good for them, don't lowball me.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
No, don't come in here doing that. And by the way,
don't come to my house. I'm represented by Nicki Legoris.
Let's go through the proper to call her. You're gonna
upset somebody who is also chimed in.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Jennifer Young.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Absolutely, she just writes yes with a question or with
an exclamation point.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
So either she's excited that I'm not talking about her.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Know she's heard of buying back a home. Oh so wait,
does she do this a lot?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
She must if she's so emphatic about it. I'm surprised
she hasn't called.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I want to know how much they Oh why can't
I think of his name? Jason?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Jason, Jason Jason, who the old president of the.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Commanders, Right, Yeah, I want to know what.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I bet she made a lot of money on his house.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Oh that's right. She was the listening agent ry Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah she was.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So she has yet to follow So she's either very
excited about I. Honestly, I feel like she's excited, like, yes.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Somebody else to bother Where am I going? Line six? Hi?
Elliott the morning?
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Hi is this me?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
It is?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Who are you? Uh?
Speaker 9 (16:16):
Yeah, my name is Laura and my real estate agent
and I have probably one of the craziest stories around this.
Oh yeah, okay, so it's a little convoluted. I usually
use props, but I had a client reach out and
he wanted to buy a large home in Westminster and
he's like, listen, I know it's overpriced, I want to
(16:38):
buy it. And I was like, well, what's attracted to
you to this house? And he's like, I can't tell you.
So anyways, he bought the house. He then told me
he wanted to sell his town home and Knowing's mills,
so we got that on the market. We sold it.
Once he sold the town home, he called me the
next Monday and says, hey, I want to sell the
Westminster home.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Now he just bought it.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
Yeah, I was like six months before. There was a
little bit of a time in between that, and so
I was like, I got to go over and figure
out what's going on. So I went over to the
Westminster house and I was like, you need to tell
me what's going on or I'm not helping you. And
he's like, well, the love of my life left me
and this was her dream home, and I figured if
I bought it, she would come back. I'm like, well,
that's dumb, I hoped.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I really didn't say that out loud.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
I said it a little nicer, but I was like, well,
that wasn't the smart decision. You never buy real estate for,
you know, winning a person's hard over. So I think
I said something like that. But so anyways, so we
put that home on the market in Westminster. We sold
that home. He moved into a rental. He then calls
me up and says, hey, I want you to go
(17:46):
and knock on the door of the town home, and
Knowing's mills, I want to buy that home back. I'm
willing to pay forty thousand dollars more than what I
paid for it six months ago. The market had not
changed that much. I'll pay all their moving costs and
all their closing costs. And I was like, listen, Dan,
I can find you another town home and owns bill
(18:06):
those are a dime a dozen. He's want to I
want to go back.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I wants yeah.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
He's like, he's like, I want to go back. So
I don't feel like I made a mistake, and I
was like, okay. So went over there, knocked on the
door this lovely young couple who had bought the home.
I presented it to them, and they were actually thrilled
because they were having their second child and they were
kind of outgrowing the town home anyways, so they took
the deal. He bought back the town home. About a
(18:36):
year and a half later, he calls me and says, Laura,
I want you to now go back to the Westminster
owner because I want to buy that home back. I
want to buy it for the right reason this time,
not for the wrong reason, and I want you to
offer them seventy five thousand dollars more. I'll say they're
closing costs. I'll pay their moving costs. So I then
(18:58):
knocked on that door. He bought that home back. I
help those people buy another home in the area. He
moved back into the Westminster Home the Westminster Home, lived
there for about two years, and then he called me
and said, Okay, I feel like I've made everything right
in my world back from that one bad decision. And
(19:20):
he sold the Westminster Home and then moved back into
the town home in Owns Mills.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Oh my god, how you made so much money on
commissions from this guy?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You should marry this guy. Like this guy's great, Like yeah,
I mean, this guy's keeping.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
You afoot when you go. You know what, therapy is
cheaper than not at all.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I'd have been like, you know what, but let's buy
another house, like you talked this guy in there. You
know what I heard from somebody who knows the woman
you were in love with. She says she'll move in
if you buy a bigger house. Yeah no, this guy,
this guy's just buying property.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
Come on, Dan, Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I did multiple transactions.
I did at a significant discount I was, you.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Could have jacked up the press. Hey, let me put
on hold. I'm gonna give you my address ive. Dan's
looking to move to Arlington. I got a place for you,
trust me.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
All right? Very good, Thank you, ma'am, thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh you know what I meant to asker, I didn't
even know. Did you know you could turn around and
sell a house that quickly?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Next months? I always Why do I always feel like
you can't.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
See as soon as the sale closes, you could sell
it that day.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Are you thinking about it? No way, we finance within
a certain amount of time.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Oh that I don't know. I don't that's out of
my But why wouldn't you be able to sell.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I thought that it was like the I mean not
not because it's against the law, but like there was
like like for whatever reason, like tax reasons are something,
they don't have to sell it.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I think once it closes, you're free to do whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Like don't because flippers don't buy a house and sell
it six months later.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
No, flippers are doing a ton of work on it
and then selling it.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Okay in like thirty days. The they sell it in
a month. Have you seen those shows? Okay, that's that's TV. Yes,
there's a countdown. Every day is money Like normal people.
You don't sell a house six months after you buy it.
Oh a normal person?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
No, No, that's crazy, Dan, Please buy my house, play
all my clothing. I'd move out tomorrow and mind the
black mold or mild could yeah, I don't know what
it is.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Or it could just be art. I have no idea.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
What does mill do A nicer way of saying mold.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's probably less poisonous.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Hi, yelly in the morning, real quick, Hey, good morning,
go yeah, real quick?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 11 (21:41):
My neighbor moved to Ireland. He was born there so
his wife. His wife couldn't take it. They've moved back
about two years later. The real estate agent was trying
to talk them into buying their old house, but they
said they weren't interested.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
He said, you have to see it.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
They put in a pool, they finished the basement, and
the market crash. They paid sixty dollar unless they sold
it for Oh.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
My god, that's winning the lottery. That's awesome.
I don't know why, but I got completely obsessed with
the story that Diane did in Dirt yesterday and it
was the It was Nick Lache sold his house to
Naomi Osaka, and I realized, these are very famous people. So, oh,
you know what tangent for one second, will you write
down Tennis.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Please?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
There was I don't want to say great, but there was.
There was a fascinating story that came out yesterday. Anyway,
So Nick Lache sells his house to Naomi Osaka.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Years later, when Naomi.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Osaka decides she's going to sell her house, nick Lache
buys it back.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
And I don't know why. I can't shape that.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You know that happens pretty regularly, not with famous people,
regular people. It does as a matter of fact, and
I've never yeah, so I don't know why. And this
isn't a case and I mentioned this yesterday. This is
is in a case of like, oh, I went and
bought my childhood home because I have I have heard
of that, but I've never heard of somebody buying their
house back. Every house I've ever sold, I tell the buyers,
(01:14):
let me know when you're selling it, I might want
it back. By the way, these are normal people. These
are normal people. So far two of them reached out
to see if I was interested. Both times I was,
but I just wasn't able at the time to be
able to do it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Is that a common thing you're telling me?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It is?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, no, okay, or just saying that you mean I
have never and listen, I haven't.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I haven't sold many houses.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
But like when I sold when when when I sold
my house in False Church and moved to Arlington, the
guy who bought my house in False Church never called
us back when they well after he got fired and
then had and left town. They never called us back
and were like, hey, do you want to buy your
house back?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
But did you request to them?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
But that gets me to the next thing. Then there
were people that were like out of nowhere. They would
call the real estate agent who represented the seller and
just go, hey, if you want to tell the former
owners we're getting this could be five, six, seven, eight
years later, we're getting ready to sell the house.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Would they be interested? So they reach back on their own?
So is it?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And I don't know why I'm so fascinated by it,
but I really am.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
When the seller is telling the new buyer give me
the heads up if you ever put this back on
the market. Are they often leaving because of a job
and they don't really want to relocate, like they're kind
of being forced out. I don't mean by the bank.
I just mean that it's not up to them that
they are getting.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Sometimes when like military families get deployed, and then when
they get they get the chance to come back, then
they want to come back to the same neighbor neighborhood,
right if kids have friends.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
But now wait, I see now I have friends that
did that in my false church neighborhood to ben Koffski's.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I hope they don't mind.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
They no, no, they lived in they lived in our
neighborhood and then they ended up moving the mister ben
Koffski he ended up having having he took a job
in Seattle. Yeah, I don't know, working for whoever, and
then it turned out I don't know if they didn't
love it there or whatever, but they ended up moving back,
and they moved back to the neighborhood, but not the
(03:29):
same house.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Were they aggravated or they happy?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I mean, we knew them, but I wasn't like best
friends with them. But no, they seemed happy they're still
in that house that they moved back into.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I'm with Diane. If I'm in the same neighborhood, I
want to be in the same house. Well, but you
don't get the same Let's find.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Something you're like more.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It would drive me crazy. Drive by your old house, yeah, wonder,
Oh get out of my house the no, No, I'm
with you. I'm with you. But that's not always an option.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
You just don't get to move back into your neighborhood
and go all right, you out.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm moving back.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I know, but that would have been like if the
Benkowskis went back and moved into their original house.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
That would have been pretty awesome. If they liked that house.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
You know, it would have been or would be the
biggest kick in the rear end if you can't afford it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Anymore, Oh, I have that in here. Yeah, I have
that in here.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I bet that's not uncommon.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Well, that stuff increases, Yeah, value, Sure.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The house I sold seven years ago has gone up
in value. I did get asked if I wanted to
buy it back. I just couldn't afford it.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Oh that sucks. And had they requested to be notified.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Doesn't say it just says seven years later they were
going to try to buy.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Their house back.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But then so then I was reading all that, and
then there's some people that are saying, oh, no, no, no, no, no,
don't ever do that, because then they know you're emotionally invested.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You'll do then, you'll do whatever it takes.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And then there's people who go, no, yes, you may
be emotionally invested, but because they know you and you
know them, you can start cutting out reeltor fees, like
instead of both of you having a realtor, use the
same one, because you've already done this you know each other.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It's like how that summer rental in New Jersey wants
to go and rent me next summer off?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, right in right under the table.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
So were the Laches emotionally tied?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Did we not make this about the Laches and she
take advantage of their state? Well no, but remember they
said that it was that, I mean the house. She
had put a lot of work.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Into the house, and then she got more money for it,
now a million more for it.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I would like to sell my house to somebody, let
them do a tremendous amount of upgrades, and then sell
it to me.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
For what I sold it to them for.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Not No, of.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Course, it's the bathroom. Where am I going? Line one? Hi,
Elliet the morning?
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Hey is this me?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Have you done this before?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
No?
Speaker 7 (06:11):
So, my mother is a realtor. She's one of the
top realtors in Northern Virginia. She's sold hundreds of homes
in her career. Never heard of this, She's this is
just not very heard of.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Are you serious. I'm reading the whole forum. I'm meaning
the whole forum about it.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
She is the realtor. So the buyers or sellers have
probably never said, hey, you know, let me know when
this goes back on the market, or hey, go ahead
and you know, we'll circle back in eight years and
see if you want to rebuy the place. But no,
she's never heard of that, and I've never heard of
it either from her.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But like the first one, the very first one that
I was reading in this forum, every house I've ever sold,
I tell the buyers, let me know when you're selling it.
And so many people comment under that, We're like, oh,
we do the same.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We do.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's not like you're buying and selling a million houses
in your life. But yeah, we've definitely done the same thing. Hey,
by the way, is your mom is your mom Jennifer Young?
Speaker 7 (07:11):
No, she's Nicky Lagors.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Oh, very very nice. All right, very good. But you
were saying she's never heard of it.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
No, it's I mean, at least in this area, it's
not very common for people to buy back their houses.
I mean they'll call the same real sorr to be like, hey,
I want you to sell my house again, or I
want to buy a house again with you, but it's
never like, oh, I want my exact same house back.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Did you say your mom is nicky Legoris?
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh my god, she's hot.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Bruh ruh.
Speaker 2 (07:49):

be able to be around mom?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Uh oh she works for Berkshire Hathaway.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
She probably nosy, Lane, exactly.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
You should get a little more nosy because something actually
happened recently with Berkshire Hathaway in uh the Fairfax location
or the Tysons Corner location.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
God damn it.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Hashtag rubber dub dumb oh yes, hashtag stiletto hashtag surgery.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Hashtag hot oh bathwater? Hi Elliot the morning. Hello, Hello, Hi,
who's this Hey? This is Randall. Hey, yes, Randall, what
can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (10:12):
So three years ago me and my wife sold our
house when I joined the military, and since we moved
to Maryland, we always talked about buying our old house back.
Turns out my wife was keeping track of it on
Zillo and they completely changed the house that my wife
doesn't even want the house back now.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Oh really.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
So so like that whole desire to get it back,
you were able to go in and see that it's
all been changed and now it's not your house anymore.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Yeah, it's not our house anymore. It's not how we imagined,
it's not how we wanted it. So she's just like, no,
I don't want the house anymore. We'll find a different
house when we, you know, retire and win the lottery
or something.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
But you know what, like I could see that being
the case. Hey, thank you, sir, Thank you. I could
see that being the case. But you have to assume that, like,
if you sold your house, you're not getting your house
back in six months, right, is that if you sold
the house, that it's been a number of years. The
people who bought the house may make some changes or
do some things. I mean, I don't know that they
demolished the inside and redid it, but they may have
(11:13):
painted things or stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I always laughed thinking that if the previous owners of
my house walked through even they would say, you guys,
didn't change the window treatments.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No, still outdated. Let me go to line four. Hi
Elliott the morning, him.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
Morning, him good.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Who's this?
Speaker 9 (11:37):
My name is Sidney.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I'm a property manager. I work with owners who have
investment portfolios, and this is where I see this. A
lot people will move out of the home that they've
been living in, moved to somewhere else, but then down
the line, when they're ready to have an investment property
where they just rent it out, they like to go
back to the home that they had experience with. They
(11:58):
know the ins and out and the meetments of it
and everything they did beforehand.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So they'll buy back their old house, but not to
live in, but to have it as like an airbnb.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Or just to rent it out. A lot of people
also have portfolios where they own five or more properties
and a lot of their income, you know, supplemental income
comes from just renting it out and the markup on rent.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Now a lot of people, yeah, yeah, you know, all
those people who own five homes. I mean it's I mean, listen,
real estate, real estate in northern Virginia and Maryland is
it's so cheap. I can understand that. Like, that's crazy.
All right, very good, Thank you, ma'am. Line five, Hi,
Elliott the morning.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Hey this me Yeah, Hi, who's this? Hey?
Speaker 10 (12:44):
This is Tom and Richmond kind of along the same
lines with Diane was saying, I actually did this twice
because my parents were in the military and we moved
around a bunch.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
So you've bought back your old house twice.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
So I was my dad was on submarines, and I
was born up in Connecticut, which is a big sub base.
And then after a while we moved down to Norfilk,
which is also another big base, stayed there for a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
He got.
Speaker 10 (13:10):
Moved back up to Connecticut, so we moved back into
the same house in Connecticut, and then years later moved
back down to Norfolk, and we moved back into the
same house in Norfolk.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I like that. I like that. I like that a lot,
I really do.
Speaker 10 (13:25):
But yeah, I was. I was young, so I don't
know how they figured it out or if you like,
what the logistics were. But I know I moved a
bunch of times, but I've only lived in two houses.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But I wondered, Yeah, but I wonder if like, and
this may be too easy of assumption to make, but
like you look at it and go, like, maybe it
works easier in the military because of like deployments or
getting getting shipped around to different different bases where once
you're going back, that base is also moving. But I mean,
think of how lucky you have to get if you
(13:54):
want to go Like, let's say you sold your house
and it's five years later, six years, seven years later,
and you're like, uh, I'd really like.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
To move back.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You have to hope those people want to sell or
if those people contact you and go, hey, it's been
six years, we're moving.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Do you want your house back?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You have to be in a position to be able
to go, well, yeah, I'll sell my house. Like if
somebody called who I don't know who lives in, Hey,
thank you sir, thank you for your service.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I don't know who.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I don't know who lives in my false church house,
my mind my old false church house anymore. But if
they called and they were like, hey, do you want
your house, I'm in no position.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
You just go like, hey, Jack, you want to a house.
You want to sell our house so we can.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Move like you know what I mean. Like you have
to be you have to be in the right mindset
for that.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Moving in such a hassle.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
You have to be thinking about your portfolio. The okay,
I had this happened to me. The seller showed up
at my door, possibly to intimidate me, to ask if
they could buy back my house, then lowballed me when
the market was hot at that point, I said, no.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Good for them, don't lowball me.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
No, don't come in here doing that. And by the way,
don't come to my house. I'm represented by Nicki Legoris.
Let's go through the proper to call her. You're gonna
upset somebody who is also chimed in.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Jennifer Young.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Absolutely, she just writes yes with a question or with
an exclamation point.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
So either she's excited that I'm not talking about her.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Know she's heard of buying back a home. Oh so wait,
does she do this a lot?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
She must if she's so emphatic about it. I'm surprised
she hasn't called.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I want to know how much they Oh why can't
I think of his name? Jason?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Jason, Jason Jason, who the old president of the.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Commanders, Right, Yeah, I want to know what.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I bet she made a lot of money on his house.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Oh that's right. She was the listening agent ry Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah she was.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So she has yet to follow So she's either very
excited about I. Honestly, I feel like she's excited, like, yes.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Somebody else to bother Where am I going? Line six? Hi?
Elliott the morning?
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Hi is this me?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
It is?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Who are you? Uh?
Speaker 9 (16:16):
Yeah, my name is Laura and my real estate agent
and I have probably one of the craziest stories around this.
Oh yeah, okay, so it's a little convoluted. I usually
use props, but I had a client reach out and
he wanted to buy a large home in Westminster and
he's like, listen, I know it's overpriced, I want to
(16:38):
buy it. And I was like, well, what's attracted to
you to this house? And he's like, I can't tell you.
So anyways, he bought the house. He then told me
he wanted to sell his town home and Knowing's mills,
so we got that on the market. We sold it.
Once he sold the town home, he called me the
next Monday and says, hey, I want to sell the
Westminster home.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Now he just bought it.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
Yeah, I was like six months before. There was a
little bit of a time in between that, and so
I was like, I got to go over and figure
out what's going on. So I went over to the
Westminster house and I was like, you need to tell
me what's going on or I'm not helping you. And
he's like, well, the love of my life left me
and this was her dream home, and I figured if
I bought it, she would come back. I'm like, well,
that's dumb, I hoped.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I really didn't say that out loud.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
I said it a little nicer, but I was like, well,
that wasn't the smart decision. You never buy real estate for,
you know, winning a person's hard over. So I think
I said something like that. But so anyways, so we
put that home on the market in Westminster. We sold
that home. He moved into a rental. He then calls
me up and says, hey, I want you to go
(17:46):
and knock on the door of the town home, and
Knowing's mills, I want to buy that home back. I'm
willing to pay forty thousand dollars more than what I
paid for it six months ago. The market had not
changed that much. I'll pay all their moving costs and
all their closing costs. And I was like, listen, Dan,
I can find you another town home and owns bill
(18:06):
those are a dime a dozen. He's want to I
want to go back.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I wants yeah.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
He's like, he's like, I want to go back. So
I don't feel like I made a mistake, and I
was like, okay. So went over there, knocked on the
door this lovely young couple who had bought the home.
I presented it to them, and they were actually thrilled
because they were having their second child and they were
kind of outgrowing the town home anyways, so they took
the deal. He bought back the town home. About a
(18:36):
year and a half later, he calls me and says, Laura,
I want you to now go back to the Westminster
owner because I want to buy that home back. I
want to buy it for the right reason this time,
not for the wrong reason, and I want you to
offer them seventy five thousand dollars more. I'll say they're
closing costs. I'll pay their moving costs. So I then
(18:58):
knocked on that door. He bought that home back. I
help those people buy another home in the area. He
moved back into the Westminster Home the Westminster Home, lived
there for about two years, and then he called me
and said, Okay, I feel like I've made everything right
in my world back from that one bad decision. And
(19:20):
he sold the Westminster Home and then moved back into
the town home in Owns Mills.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Oh my god, how you made so much money on
commissions from this guy?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You should marry this guy. Like this guy's great, Like yeah,
I mean, this guy's keeping.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
You afoot when you go. You know what, therapy is
cheaper than not at all.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I'd have been like, you know what, but let's buy
another house, like you talked this guy in there. You
know what I heard from somebody who knows the woman
you were in love with. She says she'll move in
if you buy a bigger house. Yeah no, this guy,
this guy's just buying property.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
Come on, Dan, Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I did multiple transactions.
I did at a significant discount I was, you.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Could have jacked up the press. Hey, let me put
on hold. I'm gonna give you my address ive. Dan's
looking to move to Arlington. I got a place for you,
trust me.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
All right? Very good, Thank you, ma'am, thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh you know what I meant to asker, I didn't
even know. Did you know you could turn around and
sell a house that quickly?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Next months? I always Why do I always feel like
you can't.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
See as soon as the sale closes, you could sell
it that day.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Are you thinking about it? No way, we finance within
a certain amount of time.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Oh that I don't know. I don't that's out of
my But why wouldn't you be able to sell.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I thought that it was like the I mean not
not because it's against the law, but like there was
like like for whatever reason, like tax reasons are something,
they don't have to sell it.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I think once it closes, you're free to do whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Like don't because flippers don't buy a house and sell
