I asked her if she was looking at other homes and that I could set up all the appointments for her and represent her when she bought a home.
She politely declined saying she wanted to deal with the listing agents because she wanted to negotiate. I informed her that I could help her with negotiations and that as the property was in the MLS the owner was already committed to paying a commission but she refused to be swayed.
When I was able to look up the property, I realized the seller was of the same cloth, using a no service listing agent and all calls needing to go to the seller direct. So I texted the information to this buyer so she could connect.
