I mean, what's it matter if I refuse to go higher than my offer there's nothing to negotiate so do I really need a buyer's agent?
And if I got a buyer's agent, aren't I paying for not only him/her but also the seller's agent in the price of the house?
I'm ignorant as hell with this stuff simply b/c I bought my first house (the one I'm currently in) from family. Quote:
I'd let them know at the time of submission that it's the best you can do.
It's actually better to get the buyer's agent to show you the house in the first place for lots of reasons.  | Like what? I don't get it if I'm offering the highest I'm willing to go? Quote: |
Nasty story that happened a couple of days ago here about 40min from me: a disgruntled former client was pissed at his realtor b/c his house was now worth $5K less than what he paid for it 2yrs ago. Yeah, like he's the only one in that position these days--he's lucky it's not worse than that..lol. It WAS worth that much 2yrs ago most likely. Anyway, the former client--a 73-yr-old man walked into the realtor's office and shot him point blank in the head, killing him. He was only 33 and left behind a wife and 4 kids.

Rep Power: 182 | | | I'm not too sure what my week is going to entail in terms of available time to workout. Tomorrow is my anniversary which we celebrated today. We went to a very nice restaurant in our area and to a movie... very nice. I'm not sure what, if anything, we'll do tomorrow. I've been weight training on Mondays and Fridays and doing my circuits on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This Friday though, I'm heading to Atlantic City for my cousin's bachelor party. Should be a blast! |

So it was a nice weekend. Friday we had a family picnic and then afterwords Krista and I went to my cousin's house. He's the guy that owns the firm I work at. It was a nice evening drinking good beers and hanging out by his pool. His house is really amazing... definitely makes me desire this house I'm looking at more and more. He says I should put an offer in no matter what. I know someone who just paid 350k for a 500k house in the area so that was promising. I can't get a hold of the homeowners though. I'm hoping they were traveling for the holiday... I'll try them later this evening.
Saturday I did a ton of reading and writing. That evening one of my best friends had Krista and I over for dinner. He lives two miles from this house I'm looking at so needless to say he's all about us getting it. It was a tasty dinner; steak, clams, shrimp, corn on the cob, beer. We then watched Jumper which was an okay movie.
Then on Sunday I did work all morning long. Krista and I decided to celebrate our anniversary on Sunday opposed to Monday. We went to this amazing place nearby called Seven Stars Inn. It's pricey but well worth it. Portions are enormous and food is delicious. I had surf and turf. Krista had jumbo shrimp stuffed with crab.
After, we went to the movies... we saw Hancock which I thoroughly enjoyed.
All in all excellent weekend. |
