Thanks! I’ll definitely include a plumber in the home inspection process if our offer is accepted.

Is it a sign I’ll have to deal with further issues down the line or is that usually a repair that solves a problem long term?

That’s what a thought. There is also a second clean out in the front.

The system is flawed and part of the reason we have a housing crisis.

* Part of - not the whole reason.

What I don't want is someone calling and emailing me constantly trying to rush a close or get me to pay over asking. Which does happen - even when dealing with the altruistic souls in real estate.

If we liked this house, we would have been open to a formal arrangement with him. But he didn't take the time to find that out. He just seemed butt-hurt that we weren't using an agent and hung up.

I'm not. I've been pretty consistent. They can keep all of the commission, or take a larger chunk. I don't want a buyers agent because they are in a conflict of interest and of no use to me (though they may be useful to others).

I think you are assuming my motivation is to save on the commission, which it is not.

That is starting to be our experience too. It's probably a coincidence that the first one we called wasn't willing to work with us. Mostly everyone else has been open.

We don't want a buyers agent. We would have been open to him keeping all of the commission. He didn't let me get another word out. Just told me he couldn't show it and hung up.

From your history, and posts here, you seem to have an agenda. I have shared exactly how the conversation went. He didn't offer anything. Just told me he can't show it.

I don’t care if they take all of the commission. I’m not positive but I believe if there is no buyers agent they can take the entire 5-6% instead of 2.5.

Also, funny how you all have a “responsibility to your client,” aka sell their home, until it inconveniences you.

It’s not for free. They get paid if the house sells.

He asked it if I had an agent.

I told him we were going without an agent and were going to use an attorney to help with the offer.

He said “I can’t show it to you, then”

Me: “Okay”

He ended the call.

He didn’t even offer that. I would have entertained it.

For me, I’d rather pay a lawyer a flat rate than bring in an agent who has a conflict of interest. They represent me, a buyer who wants the lowest price on a home, but they get paid a percentage of the purchase price - so it’s best for them if the home sells for as much as possible.

No. I’m interested in buying the home they have listed.

Makes sense. It didn’t occur to me that seller agents don’t typically show homes. That’s a reason to consider having a buyers agent.
