re: Let's talk closing costs for home buyers

Fully agree, realtors do work to some extent, but I know myself when Im shopping for a new property, Im doing all the scouring on the MLS and then I call my realtor and have them set up a showing. I don't know many people who call a realtor and say I want this,this, and this find me what you can. We're all so tech savvy today that we can find what we want with ease. Honestly most realtors I meet out in miami the last few years were just gung ho about how real estate must go up bc of all the foreigners bringing money over, well the dollar strengthened and alot of that money quit coming.....now what? Very few realtors I've met are knowledgable about interest rates, the dollar, and where the market is and where its going. The average realtor thinks everythings a good buy, thats why we have some people still underwater from 2005 in some parts of the country.
