"Ditching" a realtor?
(dm) wrote in message . com...
I've been working with a realtor over the last several
months. Although I have had no luck in striking a deal
(a couple of "almosts") so far, I really like her and
she has been very helpful. We've gone out 8-10 times
looking at houses, so her investment is significant.
However, I have found a FSBO that I really like, and am
considering making an offer. I feel horrible about it,
almost to the point where I hope they would reject it.
I know this is irrational. But if I try to let her
in on it, and take her 2-3% cut, it will surely price
me out of the deal. Is there a way to handle this
situation, short of forgetting this house?
Not quite the same (and as another poster suggested, the usual FSBO
arguments apply), but my parents looked at lake property on a
relatively small private lake in NY for about 10 years. I know they
had the same realtor seriously for 4-6 of those years, and could not
find what they wanted. Then a trustee sale came up and they bought a
place that was in foreclosure.
They did get their realtor a gift certificate to a nice restaurant
along with a very nice thank you card and a glowing review her office
was able to use, but I'm sure she'd have rather had a commission
check.
