re: Who wants to shat on realtors with me today?

That sounds like a realtor who is actually doing their job and looking out for their client. Try and remove yourself from the situation. Why would you let someone move into a house you own, even if you only own it for a few more days? What damage will they do upon moving in and then try and pin on you? What if the deal somehow falls through and now you have to evict them? What if someone is badly hurt while doing the move and the injury happens in the house? Guess who is liable? That realtor actually did the right thing.

so the seller's agent is looking out for the interest of their client?

What difference does 3 days make to the client’s interests?

Oh. Okay whatev lol.

So what happens if the buyer can’t close? Do you want the liability of essentially a squatter living in your home?

If the closing falls through it’s a giant mess, not to mention the liability in the interim. Is something likely to happen? No…..but if it goes you’re in a giant bind.
If something does happen and the realtor didn’t warn you, you’d be back to shite on the realtor.

Lol sure……if you’re selling a million dollar house

Sent my gf a post from a realtor earlier about a closing he did where he saved the buyer over $23k in fees on like a $300k max home. I still don't know how selling a middle of the road home can lead to $20k+ fees on the seller???

The average cost of a house is 300k. 6 percent of 300k is 18k. A new car base model is 25-30k

Bought my house direct with no realtors. Frick em.

In todays market, no reason you can’t sell a house by owner. Just takes a small bit of marketing savvy.

That was my exact thought as well when I'd assume you're in the business of buying and selling homes haha

It could mean closing fees, repairs, mortgage fees? Every deal is different, and sometimes that’s something a realtor can help with, sometimes not. I’d hate to have a dollar figure expectation on me from the start since every deal is different. All I can say is that I’ll do the best I can for the client. I’m annually top 1/3 in sales of a pretty large office and I’ve never had a bad review and a ton of repeat business.

A good realtor is worth their fee especially in high value transactions. The only acceptable profession for the OT is plant operator or travel ball coach.
