Did you get what you could have? Doesn’t sound like it.

well to start with you were working for them, not them working for you from your description. Paid them twice for the same job they’d have done for only the buyer.

All of that production and you don't have the Smarts/experience to admit when you are wrong.
When I’m wrong I admit it, from everything you said, you’re a marshmallow when it comes to negotiations. You gave away things that probably weren’t necessary.

Example, repairs. There are lots of ways to negotiate that out, typically when I’m on the buyer’s side I gave the seller pay that out of closing proceeds. My buyer has control over the work, seller pays for it, my commission doesn’t get cut. You really aren’t going to know what my client really thinks is important, or what it actually takes to repair it. Or….what my clients skills are. Negotiated out 6k on one repair, client does house renovations, cost them less than 2k. 2 grand here, 5 there….adds up.

You are a treasure.
My 4 year old 2300 sf 2 story got the same price as the 3000 new constructions in a subdivision that was finishing the build out.
The new construction drove my traffic/Realtors to the FSBO with a better lot (just off a cul de sac with private woods behind).

I already said that you couldn't be more wrong with every post you make. SSDD.

You can't read. I paid them nothing. All costs were added to my asking price.
The buyer paid them. And the buyer paid for all work done to the property. I demanded all expenses added to my asking price and got it.

A double-dipping agent will do that to their own customer (I was the keystone to the agents commission).

I fail to see what I gave away.
Enlighten me or admit that the more you reply, the more you crap your pants (i.e. admit that you are wrong).

I paid $0 for repairs. All of that was rolled on top of the asking price.

If they disagreed, we didn't have a deal and the agent is schlepping a buyer that she obviously doesn't care about to more subdivisions without any commission on the table.
