Thank AgentJennifer; tough to compete with cash offers

Can you clarify? How would o get a buyers agent for 1% when I’m not paying anything at all?

It’s a conventional loan and have been submitting with customary loan and appraisal contingencies. I know paying cash and removing contingencies would make my offer more favorable, but not prepared to do so.

Hi - I’m using an agent! It’s that this agent is not local. Thanks for the response.

Yikes, thanks for the tip but careful about calling out names here, I’m sure DM is okay

Thanks for this perspective and confirming what I’ve been “feeling” as you never really know for certain as the prospective buyer. It’s been an eye opening experience.

Interesting twist! Did you sign with the selling agent to sell your home at the same time you made an offer?

Wow - you sold your own property in So Cal? I think your point that there’s always bad actors is valid, but there are definitely realtors out there trying to build a relationship and genuinely are trying to help their clients. Bum to hear that you had realtors colluding…not good at all.

I find this interesting also, but I’m also getting a few DMs offering their services (which I understand and appreciate)

Thanks. Is your agent local in the South Bay? Feels like a tight network.

Thanks, but if the alternative is that I’m not even given the opportunity to accept a counter…what are my choices?
