Mark

Thanks for the education, everybody. I was referring to rebate. Antonio, I know nothing about real estate other than there are a lot of laws and potential pitfalls and entanglements. That's why I called and spoke to two attorneys to select one. I admit I was naive. I know it is hard work and didn't mean to disrespect it, if that's how it came off. I thought it was a simple enough question. Mark, if we decide to go forward I will call. Thanks everyone! - Fri Mar 28 2008, 03:44

Thanks for the feedback. Let me respectfully explain. When I applied at E-Loan, I was given an offer to use their preferred real estate agent and get a rebate. Some of the lenders that responded made similar offers.
I thought perhaps I could put this idea on the board. Perhaps there would be a local realtor near Heritage Harbor (where we are going to buy) that would be interested. I know these are tough times and I thought maybe somebody could benefit. This is "found money". I also have a real estate attorney. After reading Phils silly posts I called him and he assured me that there is nothing unethical or illegal about this practice
.Antonio. I understand your thoughts about taking a cut in a paycheck. I reasoned that I shouldn't pay as much as somebody you need to drive around for a month looking at houses. The house is chosen, the financing is lined up and the attorney is in place to review the paperwork. Your overhead is extremely low and the pay would be commensurate with the job..
Keith. Doctors negotiate and charge less to many people who belong to insurance groups and other organizations.
Phil. Before you read between the lines I suggest you read. I also suggest everybody read Phils profile and then read between the lines on her.
Thank you Mark. The house is $350,000. If you are interested in this proposition, leave a message here on the board.

Geez, I was only asking guys! - Thu Mar 27 2008, 15:52
