julesmirror asked:

I am in the market for a home and found one through an open house. My real estate agent, who I haven’t worked with in 9 months, isn’t very good. My question is, should I contact her to negotiate my offer? Should I ask an out-of-town real estate relative? Or look for a new one in town?

Sara asked:

I’m going to be buying a house in the next six months and am preparing to call real estate agents. I’ve never owned a house (or even lived in one, for that matter), so I have no idea how they get compensated. Do they make a comission on the sale, or do they get paid by the buyer? I don’t know if I’ll end up with a “buyer’s agent” or a “seller’s agent”, I’m assuming the buyer pays a “buyer’s agent”, however. Please let me know!

*capitaine_beau asked:

My father’s interested in buying a house and have it rented out. He’s saying it’s a really good investment and we can really get a good sum of money from it. Could you give me any websites that talks about all the things related to investing in real estate? I’m curious at all these especially during these hard economic times and money is hard to come by.

What is the best real estate partnership for two friends buying a residence together?

Chuck F asked:

My married friends and I are considering buying a house together, to be used as our primary residence (not as an investment property). We have somewhat disparate credit (I have a 700 FICO but less income and they have a 625 FICO but better income). They are very trustworthy and longtime friends, so the credit issue isn’t a concern. What would be the best option for a real estate partnership?

SD2007 asked:

I am meeting with a real estate agent for help with buying a house. I’m aware that she is not a buyer’s agent, so I can assume she is always going to be working for the seller’s best interest (and her commission). What information should I hold back from her? Pre-approval amount? Highest bid on a particular house? Down payment amount? Also, what could she possibly tell me that I should think twice about?
