Do Real Estate Agents not like to show buyers foreclosed properties?

Posted on July 11th, 2010 in Renting & Real Estate | 7 Comments »

Nadya asked:

We’ve been working with a real estate agent and every time I bring up exploring foreclosed properties in the area, she “stonewalls” us and says there aren;t opportunities (which I know is bs).

Does she not get a good commission on foreclosed properties? I’ve told her we have plenty of time to wait out a foreclosure if the potential deal is worth it.

Posted on May 7th, 2010 in Renting & Real Estate | 4 Comments »

jb asked:

I am interested in buying a house in Santa clara county and am still looking around. This is my first experience and I don’ t have any real estate agent.
I am not sure what to expect from real estate agents except for they sending me bunch of email alerts – which pretty much I find on mlslistings myself.
There are couple of agents who took my email when I went for open house and they have been sending me these alterts. Are these considered my agents – or do I specifically need to tell someone and/or signup any papers indicating that they are my agents?
Pls help – thoroughly confused. Would even appreciate if you can point to relevant articles on web.
Thanks

danigrrl8 asked:

Also, I would like to know what are the most common ways that real estate agents try to get as much money out of their clients.
I realize that there are a few “bad apples” in every profession. My point in asking this question is that I have no experience with realtors and I want to know what to expect: the good and the bad. I’ve only heard rumors that realtors can rip you off and I want to know if some do, how does it happen?

To the Real Estate Agents out there – How low will prices have to go before you will call it a crash?

Posted on March 18th, 2010 in Renting & Real Estate | 10 Comments »

Jewles asked:

Right now the Real Estate Agents I know that are still in the business are still saying it’s a great time to buy and that if you don’t buy now then you will miss the boat. I think that what Real Estate Agents say is a great indicater of where the market is at. So once they start accepting that there was a huge bubble then sellers that are holding out now will start walking away from their mortgages or sell at losses. Then the prices can adjust and might even fall below where they are supposed to be.

How does the buyer pay a real estate agent?

Posted on February 23rd, 2010 in Renting & Real Estate | 9 Comments »

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!
