I have found a real estate agent and this is NOT my first home purchase. Something in the contract sounded funny and I want to hear what you guys think. It states:
“$425.00 transaction fee paid directly to Keller Williams real estate upon closing.”
He said that its a “perk” of being with Keller Williams. And that I would pay it at closing and the title company would send Keller Williams a check. What do you guys this about this?

I am in college now, but I want to transfer to a program that would give me the credentials to allow me to be an agent.

I am pre-approved for an FHA-loan. I heard that’s a mixed blessing because homes that are FHA-approved are hard to find. Is that true? Or can any home be approved for an FHA-loan? What is a good way to find a real estate agent who is experienced with FHA-loans?
Because VALoanguy mentions it: My loan won’t suffice for a house, so my purchase definitely will be a condo.

I want to buy this bank owned property that I found. This is my first time buying a home and never used a realtor before. The home is listed for more then I want to offer buy it for, so I want to offer a lower price. I know a realtor who is really aggressive and I think he could get me the house for what I want it for. But I think there will be a few offers on this home. So would it be better if I were to just use the agent who is representing the bank and put my offer in? Would he have more power to negotiate with the bank rather then an agent not representing the bank? I’m not too sure how it works when you use a real estate agent to purchase a home that they are not listing. I know they get a 50/50 split on the commission when the home is sold. I really don’t care who I use, I just want to be able to buy the home for the price and terms I want it for.

My real-estate agent (whom also is representing the seller on this particular property) is asking us for a Proof Of Funds letter. Is this unusual? Why should we let the representative of the seller know how much money we have in the bank, as I think that would impact our leverage in negotiations because the seller and the sellers agent will know how much we could possibly afford? Opinions?
I have no college degree and just need to know what should i do in order to become a real estate agent or sales agent?
This real estate agent is in NY. They have lied about conditions in the house, they have lied about telling the seller that things need to be done before closing, and they have yelled at me and insulted me saying that I am young and I ask too many questions. I have basically had to do everything myself and they treat me in a way that they would never treat anyone else of a older age. Who do I contact?
