#this ask feels like a business transaction!!! be a homie

[gojos-thot-patrol]

I really liked your dating HCs 😃 wanted to know if you could do the jjk men flirting with a crush HCs? 🥰 just all the stuff they try to do to woo a person if interest 😍

Aww, I'm glad you like my dating HCs! Flirting goes hand in hand with dating as far as I'm concerned, so lets do this!

Now Presenting...

Starring Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto, Kento Nanami, and Ryomen Sukuna

Kento Nanami

the quiet type

Nanami is so bad at flirting I'm being SO SERIOUS 

He doesn't really have the time or energy for it, so it's a struggle for him to flirt. 

All I can think about when I think about Nanami flirting is this clip.

I feel like he treats it as a business transaction because that's just what he knows and is familiar with

When he's not being extremely business savvy, he's trying to get to know you as a person. 

If you're going to make a relationship work, you have to know that person. So he's asking you about your hobbies, your childhood, your opinions, ect.

Now, I know what you're thinking Dear Reader. "Isn't that just what friends do?"

Yes. 

I told you, he's bad at this.

Honestly, you probably wouldn't have any idea he was interested in you romantically until he hits you with that, "I've had feelings for you for a while now, would you like to go out on a date with me?"

BLINDSIDED.

But, honestly? Considering all the Information he's gathered about you it's going to be one of the best dates of your life 

After that, his flirting does shaft. It turns more into him sending you “Good morning 💛” texts and checking in on you throughout the day. 

Also he cooks for you.

He flirts by learning your favorite dishes and learning how to cook them perfectly.

As far as he’s concerned, cooking for someone is the oldest expression of love and care, and he’s a sucker for cute traditions. 

He also starts to recommend media based on things you like. He’s flexing that he knows your taste

Ultimately Nanami flirts by showing that he knows you well, which is weird to say lol.

Suguru Geto

Prince Charming

Charismatic as fuck.

Out of all of these men he's the best at flirting. 

Suguru is very manipulative, and that translates Into him being phenomenal at flirting, because he can manipulate your emotions. 

I'd give an example but I can't cause he's better at flirting than I am by a mile

I think it's very subtle at first. Almost like him planting the thought of you liking him into your brain.

And once that seed has grown into a full on tree, his flirting becomes more overt, so you know he likes you and you like him

He definitely pebbles.

Giving you wildflowers he picked while the two of you were walking, giving you used books he annotated for you, sending you memes that made him think of you.

Do not be fooled reader, this man is Baby's First Manipulator and this is the start of love bombing.

He writes poetry for you. The type of poetry that when you first read it, it makes you all giggly and love sick, but when you read it after the breakup you realize it was all just pretentious garbage. 

SONG RECS. 

Geto flirts by giving you song recommendations, sending you music that reminds him of you, videos of live performances he thinks you’d like, and the like. 

Music genuinely forms the way this man interacts with the world, so when he starts sending you love songs that should honestly be the first hint that he’s into you. 

He sends his homies over to go and hype him up to you, that's the vibe

The moment you say you’re cold he's covering you in his jacket. 

“Where's my hug?”

Ok, no to the last point but also yes kinda.

I swear I physically CANNOT bring myself to be nice to Suguru

Satoru Gojo

the goofball

“Like my shirt? It’s made of boyfriend material.”

“Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?”

“Did it hurt when you fell? Cause you're the only Ten I See…wait, I think I fucked that one up.”

Gojo is CHEESY I TELL YOU. MAN IS DRIPPING IN CRINGE, DO YOU HEAR ME?!

But, it’s almost charming just how earnest he is in trying to woo you. 

He sends you those couple memes like “this could be us but you playin’” paired with a picture of minecraft diamond armor Halloween costumes

He takes you to watch slasher movies so you get scared and cling to him, but ends up getting spooked and clinging to you.

When he looks at you you just see his eyes glittering with adoration

When he looks at you he just sees you through the Shojo vision filter

He always looks for a reason to touch you. Brushing your hair behind your ears, his knees brushing yours when you sit next to each other, anything. As long as you’re comfortable with it of course.

He slips notes into your pocket with other cheesy pick up lines or cute little doodles.

It starts with him just jokingly flirting to hide his real emotions, but it only makes his heart burn brighter for you.

You noticed it, when slowly it turns from him laughing after a cheesy pick up line to him nervously chuckling and trying to hide his blush.

He can’t look at you without smiling, at least just a little bit. 

His heart gets fluttery and he starts to get a little more stuttery.

He decides that just flirting and leaving the chance of a relationship just hanging over you, indefinite and fuzzy, hurts WAY MORE than any possible rejection could hurt

He slips a note into your pocket that's like “Wanna go on a date with me? For real this time! Yes No”

Gojo’s flirting just shows his inexperience with romance and seduction tactics, but it’s almost charming in that way

Ryomen Sukuna

The Monster

This man is Radioactive besties, idk how to tell you want nothing he’s peddling. 

He doesn't even flirt.

His flirting is telling you you belong to him and slaughtering anyone who dares to disagree. 

He flirts by being nice to you homie. 

Actually, no, scratch that. He flirts by not being actively hostile.

His tsundere ass would literally kidnap you, force you to spend as much time with him as inhumanly possible, and still be like “I don't understand why you think i like you.”

Basic kindness is his flirting. Like, honestly I don’t know to go about his section of this because he just doesn’t flirt LMAO

Him flirting is him just like, staring at you like a weirdo and just expecting you to know what that means

Him flirting is calling you woman instead of wench

On the real though, flirting is mostly seen in him being over protective of you. 

Like, god help any other person that talks to you where he can see it.

He’s going to choke slam them.

He picks on other people than immediately looks at you for approval because he thinks that sharing violence is flirting.

Honestly, that’s how he flirts. He goes out of his way to try and gain your approval.

He’s like a cat that brings you a dead bird, only the dead bird was another possible suitor.

Except he doesn’t know how to be a decent human being so it’s just him doing the most unhinged and horrific shit then looking at you like “I do good?”

No Ryomen, you don’t do good.

And yet, you’ve won my heart anyway. What a bother.

First Time Home Buyer’s Guide to Home Shopping in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a city in high demand. In fact, it’s in the top 30 hottest real estate markets in the U.S. As a first time home buyer, that idea might excite you or make you feel discouraged. With growing popularity, that means there’s a bit more competition. However, if you are well prepared, you can win your dream home in Vegas. Use our guide below to be the buyer with the most savvy.

1. Green Goes First

Because the market moves fast, you’ll need to know what price range you qualify for. There’s nothing more disappointing than finding a home you love only to find out it’s out of the budget. We recommend getting prequalified at the beginning of your search.

(Here’s a Homie Hint: Check out Homie Loans™*.)

Prequalification takes a quick look at your financial situation and gives you an idea of what you can afford to pay on a mortgage without breaking the bank. On top of feeling informed and prepared, you should know that prequalification looks good to sellers. If you can give a form of proof that you can actually afford a home, a seller is likely to lean toward you if it comes down to you and someone who is not prequalified.

2. Location, Location, … Anyone? Anyone?

You know the old saying, right? It’s all about the location. You need to decide what location is ideal for you or you and your fam. There are ‘burbs in Vegas that are a bit farther away from the city life if that’s what you’re into. If you’re more of a city dweller like Ferris on his day off, you’ll want to think about the commute.

Consider how your situation will change as the years go by. Are you going to dig a short drive to the city in five years? What about 10? Or would you prefer to be farther away from the noise and have access to all the beautiful trails and walkways that some desirable neighborhoods provide? There are plenty of options for people with a variety of preferences.

3. Know Your Needs

Are you a condo person or a home person?

Condos are a popular option for people who want closer proximity to the city and want little yard and home maintenance to do.

Homes are ideal for families and those who want more control of their home’s aesthetic. (Though you’ll want to ensure the communities you’re considering don’t have covenants that prevent you from making all the outdoor changes you want.)

While you may think there’s not a chance in the desert to find a home with a green yard, think again. There are plenty of options for yards with grass or grass-like replacements available. On the flip side, there are tons of homes with xeriscaped yards to help you save on the water bill and save the planet. Two for one.

There’s a lot to consider when it comes to the type of home and what it offers. We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again, think about the future as you consider homes. Is this your 10 year plan home or your three year plan? You’re going to live in your home for a while, so make sure you’re considering all avenues of possibility.

4. Find a Pro

There are professionals out there that can help you find your dream home, put in an offer, and button the sale up. You’ll want one of them on your side when you want to land the house you fall for. Here are a few tips for finding a real estate agent who’s best for you:

Experience. Find an agent who has experience dealing with all different types of real estate transactions. New build? No problem. Home with sprawling acres? You got it. DIY fixer’ upper? Sure thing! Homie agents do hundreds of transactions per year. Most Homie agents will do more transactions in one year that a traditional agent will do their entire career!

Service. Ask candidates what services they provide. You’ll want someone who knows how to negotiate on your behalf and fight for what’s right for you. Homie is a full service real estate brokerage. Our buyer’s agents are dedicated only to their buyers, so you’ll get top-notch service whenever you need it.

Savings. How much will it cost you to use an agent? Many people will say “nothing”, but that’s not actually true. While you don’t necessarily pay your agent out of pocket, the sales process goes like this. Seller lists a commission for buyer’s agents when they list their home->they adjust the price of their home to accommodate the commission->you buy the home and (likely) finance it over several years. Did you buy the home? You basically just financed an agent’s commission for years to come. Ask your agent how they can help you save. Homie refunds up to $5k back of that buyer’s agent commission to you for closing costs!

5. Use Homie to Land Your Dream Home

Buying a home is expensive, but you can save money when you buy your first home with Homie! We give you up to $5k back to go toward your closing costs when you use us as your buyer’s agent. In addition to big savings, you can take advantage of Homie’s tech to get find your dream home with ease. Browsing homes and scheduling in-person tours can be done in just one click.

Sound like a dream? Nope. It’s just the Homie way. Click here to start house hunting.

Utah's Homie roils real estate with new business model

That's the essential question Johnny Hanna, Mike Trionfo, Matt Thorne and Mike Peregrina set out to address when they founded Homie, a Utah company that's working to redefine not only what it should cost consumers to buy or sell a home, but how hard (or easy) it should be to navigate what for most people is the largest financial transaction they'll ever encounter.

"The home we live in is the single biggest investment most of us will ever make," said Hanna, who is also Homie's CEO. "Our goal at Homie is to make this as enjoyable and efficient and affordable as possible."

The company, which officially launched in June 2016, has systemized and automated — where practical— the entire process, whether you're a buyer or seller. By signing up, buyers get a guide that breaks the whole process down into steps, an assigned real estate attorney for assistance with contracts and other paperwork, connections to mortgage, title and other service providers, home value reports to help dial-in offers, a tool for creating and submitting offers and a mobile app for managing everything from your phone. And the cost for this is nothing.

If you're a seller, Homie asks for $199 up front, then lists your home (including having the property professionally photographed), sends you a yard sign, gets you data to assist in price-setting, builds online ads, automates the home tour process as well as offer pipeline, assigns you a real estate attorney for negotiations and closing and, after you've closed, asks for $699 to finish the deal, which is refundable if the contract is voided afterward.

Elizabeth Baier and her husband used Homie for both sides of the transaction divide in March, for a home they were buying in Lehi and a home they we're selling in Provo.

"When we bought our house in Provo, we just didn't have that great an experience, and it didn't seem like the way to go for us again," Baier said. "We both look at houses all the time online, because it's of interest to us … and when we found the house in Lehi, it was listed by the owner, which made it easy."

Baier said she and her husband learned about Homie through a billboard they saw near I-15 and decided to give it a shot. She said they were particularly happy to learn that Homie's system allows for a lot of flexibility.

"We didn't want a lot of commotion with our sale, didn't want to put up a yard sign and that was no problem," Baier said. "We also wanted to keep our personal phone numbers and other information private, which was easily accommodated."

Baier said the process was straightforward, and for the things they were the most concerned about, like the contracts and paperwork, their assigned real estate lawyer was there when they needed him.

"That person felt like our personal lawyer," Baier said. "He was really easy to communicate with … and almost all of the stuff we needed him for happened over a weekend and he was available the whole time."

Within three days, Baier and her husband had received multiple offers on their home and, she said, they closed on their new home purchase and previous home sale within days of each other, which is exactly what they were hoping for.

Troy Peterson has been in real estate for 23 years and is the current president of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors. When he frist got into the business, it was a completely pen-and-paper process, with agents working literally from a book of listings. Now, there are many new tools that make access to real estate information much easier for agents and buyers and sellers, but, he said, the work that agents do still remains an important and essential part of the process.

"A good agent is looking out for their client," Peterson said. "Yes, there's a lot of information out there, but there is a lot to interpret and keep track of, and for nonprofessionals, it's easy to get way off track."

Peterson said he had not personally worked with Homie but had heard that "some people had tried to save money with them and it worked out OK, for others it didn't work out very well."

Hanna, for his part, said that Homie's objective has never been to eliminate agents, but to utilize new tools to the advantage of both buyers and sellers.

"We're not anti-agent, we're pro-technology," Hanna said. "There are still agents involved in many of our transactions … but there's already about 50 percent of our buyers coming without agents."

However, Hanna believes the real estate fees associated with buying and selling have not tracked appropriately with the tools and technology that have made the job easier.

"Agents do a lot of work and they're working hard," Hanna said. "But, in this market a $400,000 home that sells in three days … I don't know that anyone is earning that 6 percent, $24,000, in three days.

For Hanna, this is not the first time he's stepped into the real estate realm with the intent of disrupting and remaking what some may consider stale business practices. Back in 2003, while still a BYU student, he and a friend came up with a new take on tracking and collecting rent for managers of large apartment complexes. That idea grew into a hugely successful, multiservice business called Property Solutions (later to become Entrata), that Hanna left in 2015, but not before it had started bringing in over $100 million a year in revenues.

Hanna said his latest business endeavor has moved over $207 million in real estate through 1,200 transactions in the past year and saved its customers more than $7.7 million in agent commissions, which works out to about $10,000 in savings per transaction. For now, the company is only doing business in Utah, which has one of the hottest housing markets in the country, and a state that has set home sales volume records in each of the last two years. But Homie is looking to both grow its footprint and offerings, already adding mortgage services to the menu just last month. Again, the model is about streamlining processes and reducing fees.

"The historical mortgage market is one that's really lacked transparency," Hanna said. "Most people don't realize about 4 points (percentage points) of your mortgage is fees … we've cut that in half and will also save customers money on closing costs."

For Baier and her husband, the $8,000 they said they saved on real estate fees was immediately helpful.

"For us, we wanted to make some improvements to our new place, so that money allowed us to increase our budget," Baier said. "It really made a difference."

While Homie was targeted in a series of I-15 billboards a few months ago, Hanna is both unfazed by the ire of his competition and happy to be blowing up the old model in a way that puts money in the pockets of customers like the Baiers. And, he enjoys doing it all under a company moniker that's sure to stick.

"I don't know if anyone can tell the difference between an agent from Century 21, Remax or Berkshire Hathaway," Hanna said. "These brands are so old and boring, I feel like we could have kept charging 6 percent and just brought new technology to bear on the process and we could have crushed it.

"But, what we are really doing is disrupting the industry in a way that creates a direct and measurable benefit for every customer … and they'll remember that it was Homie that made it happen."

What is a Flat Fee Brokerage?

A flat fee brokerage is a brokerage that charges a flat fee to list your home on the MLS. They don’t assign you an agent, and they won’t market the listing for you.

Did you know that you can list your home online for a flat fee?

That’s the usual pitch from businesses called flat fee brokerages. The advantage they claim is that you can save $$ versus working with a traditional real estate agent.

While a flat fee sounds nice, what does that mean in terms of service? Well, do your research because not all flat fee brokerages are created equal. Here are a few types you might run into.

Limited Service

Some flat fee brokerages are limited in the services they offer. They advertise that you can list your home online, including on the MLS, for a flat fee. Usually people with a hankering for DIYs use these services in an attempt to save some dough, ‘cause let’s face it, moving is expensive.

After your home is listed, it’s essentially a For Sale by Owner (FSBO) type of situation. Though your home is listed by a brokerage, you have to manage all the buyer leads and arrange tours of your home. You don’t get an agent, you don’t get photos (or you have to pay more), and there is limited contact between you and the brokerage.

That’s about the extent of what is offered by the brokerage.

Homie?

Is Homie technically a flat fee brokerage? Yes. We provide our listing services for a flat fee. Does that mean that we do things the same way as other flat fee brokerages? Nope! Homie is NOT a limited service brokerage or FSBO service.

So How Does Homie Compare?

Homie vs. Traditional Agents

Here’s the first thing you should know: Homie is a full-service real estate brokerage. That means we have agents who help our customers buy or sell their homes. We offer everything you need to make your real estate transaction successful.

You might be wondering, “How does that make Homie any different than a traditional agent?”

We hear that question a lot. To make it as clear as possible, let’s talk about what all agents must do.

All Agents

A real estate agent is licensed by the state in which they work. Every state has varying requirements for licensure. This gives them the ability to sell homes on behalf of homeowners, gives them access to the MLS, and gives them training on how to do paperwork and conduct real estate transactions.

When someone becomes an agent, they have to adhere to a code of ethics for the profession. These include doing what’s right by your client, being respectful to other agents and brokerages, and following standard practices during a transaction.

Consider yourself up to speed on the requirements and function of all agents! Now, onto what we at Homie call traditional agents. What do they do?

Traditional Agent

At Homie, we use the words traditional agent to describe an agent who doesn’t do business the Homie way. It doesn’t necessarily mean that an agent has to be in the game for any specific length of time.

Here are the main points of difference to compare Homie agents and traditional agents.

Lead Generation

The most common way for traditional real estate agents to get leads is through family and friends. Many people feel pressure to use a certain agent because they are related to the family or have been a connection.

A few years back it was common for you to use the same real estate agent to buy your first home, sell it, buy your second home, and so on.

Another lead generation and retention strategy is to hold events like movie nights or send swag (calendars, recipe cards) to their clients to remind them that they still are an agent, and they would like to do business again.

It’s important to take a look at overall experience. Did you know that the average traditional agent only works part time? That totals out to just a few transactions a year.

Commissions

There are typically two types of agents in a transaction (though one agent may be able to play both parts for their client if they are selling AND buying a home). –Listing agents who help sell homes. –Buyer’s agents who help buy homes.

Each type of traditional agent typically collects a commission when they assist in the sale or purchase of a home.

So as a home seller, your listing agent would collect a commission, and as a home buyer, your agent would collect a commission. The average is 3% for each agent, but it is important to note that commissions can be negotiated by the seller/buyer with their agent.

Marketing Listings

Traditional listing agents utilize a variety of marketing devices to show off homes they’ve listed for sale. These usually include: -Listing on the MLS -Listing on the brokerage site (if the agent is associated with a brokerage) -A yard sign

Some brokerages also utilize what are called pocket listings, where they market for sale homes to buyer’s agents within the brokerage. It gives buyers a first look at homes that the brokerage is listing.

Homie

A Homie is a friend. No, really. We are agents who have your best interest in mind like your closest friend does. We’re the friend who’s honest and trustworthy. We’d talk you out of getting bangs when you’re having a crisis. We’d hype with you before the big game. We’d even accept an invite to a Friendsgiving if you asked us.

These are a few other things that make us different from traditional agents.

Savings, Sweet Savings

From what we’ve heard from happy customers, savings are one of the biggest points of difference in a traditional vs. Homie agent comparison. After all, we aim to save home buyers and sellers thousands of dollars while providing unbeatable service.

Home buyers can enjoy up to $5k back toward closing costs.

Home sellers pay a flat fee to list, market, and sell their home.

If that’s not the home buying or selling experience you expect in 2020 and beyond, then we suggest hopping in a Delorean and going back a few years.

Do Savings = Limited Service?

That’s just not the Homie way. Just because you want to save money doesn’t mean you deserve anything less than the best when it comes to service. Buyers and sellers both get the whole enchilada when it comes to working with Homie.

Buyers -Local, dedicated agent to help you every step of the way to buying a home -Homie app access to manage your experience -Up to $5k back toward closing costs

Sellers -Local, dedicated agent to market your home to its full potential -Homie app access to manage your experience -Flat fee to have it all

Lead Generation

Homie prioritizes each and every customer. That means that a part of our lead generation is providing excellent service at a great price. We know that you’re likely to work with us again because you had a life changing experience, not because we sent you a fridge magnet.

We make every step of buying or selling low pressure and stress free. You don’t need to feel like you have to use us. We want you to see the benefits for yourself.

Remember when we talked about experience? This applies to Homies too. Our agents are experienced in a variety of real estate transactions. Because our agents don’t spend tons of time trying to convince people to buy or sell with them, they can focus on the leads that our great service generates! Homie agents will garner more experience under their belt within months of coming on board than other agents will in their entire career.

Marketing Gurus

You could say we know a thing or two about marketing. (Have you peeped our teal billboards on major highways?)

We market homes listed for sale with Homie with the goal of getting as many eyeballs on them as possible. Maximum visibility is our game, Homie’s the name. Here are a few ways our listings get exposure: -Listing on the MLS -Listing on major real estate websites -Yard signs -Social media posts -Pocket listings

Now You Know the Difference

After seeing it all broken down, the differences between Homie and traditional agents are pretty clear. If you want to save thousands when buying or selling a home, choose Homie!
