Is it ok for a buyer's agent to limit the number of homes he's willing to show you?

Sam answered:

Sounds like your agent is just lazy. If you paid me $7200 (i.e. 3% commission on 240k) I would definitely be willing to show you only 10 houses. That's about $720/house. A little less if you take out my money for the time spent writing up docs for you.

We are working with an agent that is getting upset at us because we refuse to sign a buyers agreement. I don't intend to take advantage of anyone but I'm definitely not going to bind myself to a lazy agent. I think in this depleted market you should easily be able to find an agent willing to show you exactly what you want, when you want and how many you want. Make them earn their money if that's what it takes. - Thu May 29 2008, 14:19
