“the owner was busy doing stupid repairs/improvements the agent was advising him to do.”
Good on the agent for being proactive, it’s part of their job and responsibility. Because a day or so before the scheduled closing the buyers are going to do a final walkthrough and the agent was preventing any last minute dispute or delay. Not only that, around three months after a closing, you would be amazed how many lawsuits are filed against sellers and their agents for frivolous “defects”. Believe me, a professional Realtor has seen and heard it all. So you can say an agent messes with peoples minds, but a great Realtor is golden.
Have to find that golden realtor! The current agent I had was a 100% liar and bordering on abusive. The worst of the worst. The one before him was a chicken.
I will be needing a new agent next year. I plan to do a lot of research this year to find a better agent or I will do the work myself.
A- Let's say a realtor has a 10% commission fee, how much would the realtor receive from $4,700.00?
B- There's a broker and an agent. Does the broker take his 10% fee from the agent's commission, or does he take it from the buyer?
Thanks for any info you can provide.
