I always wondered when real estate agents took vacations? When they are in escrows, who's to take their place?
BTW, the last two homes in So. Cal. I used the broker, not an agent. One was 2-1/2 percent and the other 3 percent.
You just can't give your money to a real estate agent "friend."
If they're good agents, they plan their vacations before anything else and have a partner who takes over when they leave. Otherwise you'll have a nervous breakdown:D
What do you mean you used a broker?
