An example of a Seller's agent being a jerk - I found a nice home and made an offer. The Seller countered. That was fine.
I wanted a couple things looked at in more detail in the home inspection.
The Seller's agent went off on my Buyer agent and refused.
I later found out that the house eventually was sold with the Seller Agent also representing the Buyer. And the house sold for LESS than what I offered (and by more than the 3% that my Buyer agent would have been entitled to).
The Seller agent cost the Seller money in that deal, as myself and the eventual buyer were both using a mortgage to buy.
I made sure that people in the area knew that the Seller agent cost the Seller money in the deal.
Hopefully you dodged a bullet with what you identified as needing more inspection.
Maybe not only were you getting hosed by greedy realtors, they were going to slide something by you in inspections!
