Just to clarify.. My Selling Agent might be my buying agent too. Only a verbal agreement so far and since she is out of the area she doesnt have access to the local key boxes.
Jared, Thanks for your last comment!
I have bought without an agent before and sold without an agent before. I know some REOs dont care about buyers commissions so I figure I can benefit from it.
I know there are good agents out there but I dont think its a very complicated process. - Sun Apr 13 2008, 23:21
I am planning to purchase a 500k house and I cant justify paying a realtor 15k for less than 8hrs of work. I actually called a listing agent in Vallejo and he refused to show me a house because I told him that I might work with my selling agent which was out of town. He told me that the agent needs to do her job and show you the house ....that he had better things to do. I said you are the listing agent...dont you want to sell the house? He said "it will sell" What DICK!!! - Sat Apr 12 2008, 23:53
