This video explains how the speed of the San Jose area real-estate market – along with sale prices and inventory – gains steam after Super Bowl Sunday and how that can take home buyers and their agents by surprise.
I like straight talk as well as the next person, but some questions just aren’t suited for “yes-or no” answers. If for instance, an agent gives you a simple answer to this question, drastic action may be needed!
As a buyer, you find yourself in a multiple-offer situation. What do you do now to make sure you get the home, or have no regrets if you don’t? Here’s my simple advice.
On more than one occasion, I’ve heard high-powered listing agents brag that they never work with buyers. It seems to me that home buyers who want a great agent — but also need an agent who’s willing to spend the necessary time with them -- might want to think twice before selecting a busy listing agent to represent them.
Home buyers who think they can get a better deal by having the listing agent write their offer may get a lot less than they bargained for.
When you choose to work with a buyers agent because he agrees to give you part of his commission, you’re being represented by an agent who’s admitting that he can’t compete with full-service agents based on service, market knowledge or negotiating ability. And you’re giving up a lot more than you’re gaining.
