买新房遭霸住警方称无驱逐权纽约州情侣被迫住旅馆

对于纽约州一对情侣来说，购买一栋新房子变成了一场噩梦，因为占据房屋的一名不速之客拒绝离开，让他们无法搬进新家中。

罗彻斯特(Rochester)屋主瑞安．福兹(Ryan Folts)和他的女友凯特琳．皮兹(Caitlin Pitts)告诉新闻电视台News 8，说他们在2024年1月的一场拍卖会中，买下这栋被法拍的房子，虽然他们在购屋时知道房子有人住，却不知道自己即将面临什么程度的恐怖情况。

福兹说，霸住者不仅拒绝离开，还从另一单位收租，而地税却是他和女友支付。

福兹说，他和女友皮兹甚至把所有能做到的繁琐法律规定都走了一遍，试图要把这名男子赶出房屋，但都没成功。

「我给了他几个月的时间，继续占用屋子，然后进行了所有把他驱逐的法律程序，」福兹说，「为了把他赶走，采取了所有适当的法律措施，该做的都做了，但他仍占据着屋子。」

福兹接着说，他们联系过罗彻斯特警方，警方也前去他们房屋调查，但当警方试图进入房屋时，「碰上」了占据房屋的人，福兹声称警方随后「转身离开，并说这不是他们的工作」。

罗彻斯特警察局长格雷格．贝洛(Greg Bello)在声明中告诉福斯数字新闻(Fox News Digital)，说罗彻斯特警察局「没有运行驱逐令的合法权利。这运行权是在市法警(city marshal)手上(市法警不是市府职位，而是与罗彻斯特市法院合作)。法官并没有发布允许罗彻斯特市警强行进入该地点逮捕霸住者的命令，因此警方无权这样做」。

贝洛又说，「我完全可以理解新屋主的沮丧，但我们的行为受到法律和法院的约束。」

这对情侣告诉News 8，这名霸住者应该离开的首个驱逐日，原定于去年12月下旬，但他们原本预期要搬入新房，因此早已经卖掉原来居住的房屋了。

「我们每晚都住在饭店，还花钱租储物室，每晚都得支付旅馆费用，这样已经持续一个月了，」皮兹说，「这件事让我们觉得不安，也不知哪天才能搬进去，也许我们会卖掉房子，假如可以这么做的话。」

「不公开上市」渐流行让房市卖家试水温

最近，全美最大的房产经纪公司之一的Compass开始推进「不公开上市（Private Listing)」或密售房源。

目前的房地产市场基本是透明操作，买家可以在Redfin和Zillow这样的房产交易网站上看到几乎每一处待售房源。

但Compass却在推动更多买家使用其「不公开上市」服务，就是说只有Compass公司的经纪所代表的买家可以看到这些房源。

Compass公司宣称，卖家使用这一服务，可以得到3万4000名公司下属经纪人和他们代表的正经买家的注意。卖家可以避免在购房网站上留下曾经上市多日无人问津或降价的历史纪录。还表示，就像很多公司先在小范围用户中试水一样，在Compass不公开上市，也可以让卖家在公开出售之前先试水温，收集批评建议，制造早期市场需求。

该公司同时也对买家宣称，可以通过公司特属房源在供给紧张的房地产市场上抢占先机，最大化自己的竞争力，避免公开上市后的竞价大战。同时还可以避免自家住宅的图片在公开市场流出，保护隐私。

信使报报导，密售房源并不是新生事物，旧金山湾区的很多高价物业都是以这种形式出售的，但在本地房产销售中占比很小。根据购房网站Redfin的数据，只有大约3%。

据Bay Area News Group对Compass.com上房源的分析。截止1月中旬，湾区5县有384处房源只对Compass经纪代表的买家开放，占比所有经纪房源的8%。包括Coldwell Banker和 eXp Realty在内的其他经纪公司也有各自的密售房源，但占比相对较小。

南湾打算购房的汪女士近期与一些买家经纪接触，也得到了一些关于密售房源的信息。在去年房产新政之后，出现了一些只收5000美元平价的买家经纪，她也犹豫过要不要选择传统经纪。但买家经纪除了向她强调自己在竞价方面经验的优势外，更着重提到自己掌握的密售房源，让她感到自己错失了很多良机。但目前市场上对于密售房源的利弊众说纷纭，因此还在犹豫不决中。

串通调涨房租联邦控6大房地产商

世界新闻网

01/08/2025

司法部告六家房地产公司，指控身为房东却用多种方法串通，让民众负担高价房租。

司法部对六家大型房地产公司提告，指控身为房东的地产公司彼此串通，利用算法订定价格、私下分享敏感消息给竞争对手，赚取更多租金利润，让民众负担高价房租。

美国租屋族持续面临房租的压力，薪水增加赶不上房租调涨。根据最新统计，2022年当中，租屋族约有半数的30%收入用来缴房租与水电费，比率创下历年新高。

司法部与包括北卡罗来纳州、田纳西州、科罗拉多州、加州等十州，对六家房地产公司联合提告，指控业者彼此勾结串通，导致住在43州与华府特区、共计130万名租屋民众房租变贵。

被告之一葛瑞斯塔房地产股份有限公司 (Greystar Real Estate Partners LLC) 在网站发布声明表示：「葛瑞斯塔向来以最高诚信经营事业，从来不曾参与任何反竞争手段。」声明指出，将在诉讼中极力证明清白。

司法部指出，被告之间通过电子邮件、电话或群组聊天彼此分享房租、租屋率等敏感消息给竞争对手，消息内容包括房租续约比率、演算公式建议的房租价格获得采纳几率如何、例如「一个月免房租」等优惠活动的促销成果，以及下一季房租价格如何订定。

司法部表示，六家被告房地产公司之一，已有一家同意与检察官合作。根据司法部提出的和解协议草案，未来房地产公司订定房租价格时，不得继续使用竞争对手的数据数据与算法。

司法部主管反托拉斯 (antitrust) 事务的代理助理部长米基 (Doha Mekki) 7日在记者会上说，针对软件公司RealPage 与六家房地产公司的提告，目的在于终止这些业者把营利摆在客户之上的手段，并让全国各地数百万民众租屋时能得到更加实惠的房租。RealPage 软件提供建议房租的演算公式。

DIY Landlord – Renting out Properties Safer and Quicker!

By David Chen

12/07/2024

Q. We purchased our first home some years ago, and are about to move to another home. We are considering to keep our first home as an income property. We heard of the free ads on CRAIGSLIST and zillow.com, but some landlord friends told us it could be a challenge to find qualified tenants through CRAIGSLIST and zillow.com. Is there any way to rent our property out quicker and safer with minimum cost? We are the kind of persons who would like to try things ourselves, and have some spare time.

A. You may have already done the initial research and have figured out the range of monthly rent of your property.

If the monthly rent is low such as $2000.00 or below, you may want to do it through CRAIGSLIST, https://postlets.com/, zillow.com, or similar web sites. The renters interested in the low-priced rentals may not go to the Realtors community for assistance.

If the monthly rent is $2000.00 or above, you may want to consider listing your rental on brightmls.com for the Realtors community to market it for you.

Bright MLS is made up of nine forward thinking MLSs (43 Associations) in the Mid-Atlantic region who put aside their differences and came together with a shared vision to help solve MLS market overlap and empower everyone to get more out of the MLS. Bright will serve parts of 6 states plus Washington, D.C. encompassing 85,000 real estate professionals who serve over 20 million consumers and facilitate approximately 250,000 transactions a year that are valued at more than $70 billion.

Dozens of public real estate websites (such as: zillow.com, redfin.com, brightmlshomes.com, etc.) pull data from brightmls.com through syndication. In a few hours, your listing will show up on dozens of websites and will get the maximum exposure. It is a lot quicker and safer finding qualified tenants than doing it through CRAIGSLIST and zillow.com. You may talk with a Realtor for assistance. Please be aware some Realtors take rental jobs, some don’t.

Over the years I have helped some landlords in the community renting their properties out with very low cost. A popular arrangement is to help the landlords ‘DIY’, which has been working well for those experienced landlords.

The good side of ‘DIY’ is that the landlords can ‘screen’ the potential tenants from the very beginning, have 100% control of the whole process, and enjoy the feeling of “on top of things”.

If you prefer minimum service, I can help you ‘DIY’:

1. I provide CMA, list your rental on brightmls.com, put a realtor’s lockbox at the front door if needed, provide the access log (if needed), support you through the whole process.

I charge a flat fee for the minimum service.

2. If you would like me to prepare the lease or review the lease, there is another reasonable flat fee. This service is optional.

3. You answer phone calls, work with the tenant (if the tenant doesn’t have an agent) or the tenant’s agent, run credit check, verify employment, check references, etc.. You pay the tenant’s agent (if there is one) directly on the move-in date – usually 25% of first-month rent.

If you need full-service, the commission is first-month rent – which includes the commission to be paid to the tenant’s agent.

If you need any customized service (between minimum service and full-service), we can work out an agreement.

Some information:

CMA stands for Comparable (some called Competitive) Market Analysis, that will help you determine the market value of your property for sale or for rent.

I use Sentry-key lockbox. Any Realtor with membership of NVAR (Northern Virginia Association of Realtors) or any other VA Realtors association can access and show the property.

The access log tells when the agents enter the property and their contact info. which can help you follow up with the agents.

If you like the DIY experience, I would recommend you to use the minimum service.

Please feel free to reach me if you need any assistance.

Almost all real estate websites that offer the ability to search brokerage listings use a data feed from the MLS called Internet Data Exchange (IDX) to pull in listing data. Depending on the number of sites tapping into your MLS, your listing could appear on hundreds of websites. We do not control the content of any of the websites listed below. updated periodically & subject to change at any time Here are some examples of national websites by area that pull listings from the MLS:
