Buyer's agents are the biggest roadblock to closing a short sale. Buyers, if you've been writing offer after offer on those short sales without success, perhaps it's time to fire your agent. I'll probably get a lot of grief for saying this, but that's the way the cookie crumbles or the pooper-scooper scoops, pick your metaphor. As a busy Sacramento short sale agent, it's getting to the point … (1 comments)

She/He Who Finds The First House We Like Gets The Commission Buyer's Agents work their tails off to find their clients the home of their dreams.

When a real estate agent represents a seller, they have their best interests at heart. It's the law. There is no way that agent can represent the seller and a buyer that has no agent at the same time. It's called Dual Agency. That agent can help the buyer by steering them in the right direction about mortgages and such, but that is it. When it comes time to make an offer on a home and you ask the seller's agent, "how much should we offer?" That agent will tell you, "as … (0 comments)
