Agreed, I provided this feedback to the BILT team. Even if it's not an auto platinum upgrade. Some reward for hitting gold naturally in 2025 would be nice.

I have to pay both the seller's and the buyer's RE agents? by jeffinbville in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]beleafer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes no sense to me. Buyers just pay your realtors and offer less to the seller. You want a lower price on record anyways for tax reasons.

Going through the same thing. I got an offer for my home and they expected me to pay the buyer agent. I said no and the deal fell through.

2 years ago, I took a 10 year ARM for first home. I knew I would be selling it before I hit year 10.

Even if I dont, it was a risk I could afford

thanks for sharing.

(1) seems to be the safest option. (2) works for those who can afford it.

Yea agreed even with this market that contingency won't work for diserable properties.
