Question by bdizzy: What are the advantages of using a realtor to buy a house?
While searching for a house,is it really best to use a realtor?Could it be just as easy to contact the selling agent and eliminate one more person that is looking to make some cash on the sale?We were real interested in buying a house,but we are unsure if we got played around with.The agent selling the house and the realtor we were using are from the same company.We were told that the bank would have to approve of any offer,and that the bank would not budge more than 0 on the price of the house.What makes it even more interesting,the bank did not own the property,it had not been foreclosed on.The house had been on the market for almost a full year.RIght after we said we were interested,all of the sudden,offers “started streaming” in on the house.We looked at it again,wanted to make an offer,and the realtor said it was to low, that the bank had not accepted an offer 00 to 00 lower than the asking price. Not a week later, the house was off the market. Were we toyed with?
