BUYERS BLUES

I can't get a hold of the listing agent! Do you know who so and so with such and such Realty? This has happened more than once. I like many I pay to have my picture and info listed on the front page of assorted REO, Foreclosure, Real Estate web sites in corallation with zip codes I cover. Evetiably some one elses listing comes up and they think it is mine. I politely explain I am not the sellers agent but I would be obliged to show them the home and represent them as the buyers agent. But more often than not they insist on dealing direct with the listing agent, and usually with out their their best interest represented. They will not get a better price, they will not save any monies by going directly to the sellers agent, in fact they will probably pay more. The sellers best interest is the sellers agent's job. Another senario is the buyers wanting direct contact with the Bank. I can't even get that close to the Bank. So went I tell them I can't give them the information, and that I deal with a Asset Management company who deals with the Bank/Investor. Todays market and way of dealing with Foreclosures is being re-created on a day to day basis. Forget what you did five or ten years ago. NOT THE SAME RULES. If you want to buy in this market find and interview a BUYERS AGENT who will watch out for YOU>
