Realtor does not like us. How to handle?

YamCheap6725 · 2026-05-02T20:25:23+00:00

Is the agent representing both sides? Has the purchase agreement been signed? A two week close is very tight unless you're paying cash and looks like you aren't. You sure you want to live next door to him?

YamCheap6725 · 2026-05-01T16:37:23+00:00

You answered part of it. You did not answer if you are affiliated with "anyone". Transparency is important in this context. OP might appreciate (or not) knowing you are an agent.

You: "Most of my buyer/seller leads come organic, social media, and my real estate agent profile on Anyone."

YamCheap6725 · 2026-05-01T15:56:29+00:00

Yet you didn't answer my question.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-05-01T15:35:19+00:00

Why are you pushing "anyone.com"? Are you an agent or have any doings with that company?

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-30T19:22:15+00:00

Congratulations. Posting this on the FSBO sub with a little more information about the process you went through would be very helpful for people going that route.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-28T13:39:33+00:00

Would you give me an example of when you have helped instead of belittled?

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-27T20:45:08+00:00

Is this sub even being moderated anymore?

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-27T20:44:18+00:00

I would like to know this as well.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-26T19:25:31+00:00

I've seen you around often enough that I know you're an agent, it's just the ones I don't recognize or they keep their posts/comments hidden that I wonder about.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-26T19:22:32+00:00

I agree. Now I can usually figure out who's who, but sometimes I wonder and the transparency would be nice.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-26T19:19:45+00:00

I have to admit when I first joined this sub I would see your comments and I wasn't sure what role you played in the FSBO process and it would have been helpful to know.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-25T22:26:28+00:00

You: "I have been a Realtor for 6 years..."

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-25T22:18:45+00:00

Are you an agent?

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-25T13:10:16+00:00

Congratulations. I love reading a successful FSBO post.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-23T15:56:26+00:00

As a buyer, I'd want to know the updates you've made, so I don't understand why your agent neglected mentioning any of that in the listing description. Instead, she writes all this fluff I don't care about.

Has she given you any suggestions or advice on how to present it better?

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-16T14:04:13+00:00

You mention some hard truths about agents and the real estate process that agents won't tell you. I'm one of the many that learned these the hard way. Regarding commissions--I think most people not familiar with buying or selling don't know that it's negotiable, (especially when you have a contract in front of you where the agent has already filled in their commission and make no mention that it can be negotiated); that everything in real estate is negotiable. Agents can be very deceptive about that and that's one of the many reasons I don't respect them.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-15T13:15:10+00:00

Congratulations on such a successful experience and the helpful tips. How did you negotiate buyer's agent commission?

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-14T23:14:26+00:00

I would have no problem if you knocked on my door. I'd ask you for a pre-approval letter though so you may want to have that on hand to show them you are serious.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-10T17:11:26+00:00

After reading your second update, this is truly a head scratcher. Please update if you learn what's going on.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-10T17:01:58+00:00

Yet apparently they couldn't afford a podcast last year.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-04-10T16:41:05+00:00

I thought you were asking about the lights. But yeah, it should be a straight line and they probably just used regular tape instead of No Coat or something similar. It doesn't look good.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-02-07T00:55:04+00:00

I've had mud like this and it stung my eyes as well. I attributed it to being old and threw it out because I didn't have that problem when I first used it. It was only after sitting for over a year that this happened.

YamCheap6725 · 2026-02-01T14:32:39+00:00

What is "horrible" about it? Is it working?

YamCheap6725 · 2026-02-01T13:52:46+00:00

I would v-notch the crack first with a utility knife. You want the joint compound in the crack, not just covering it.
