[quote=Anonymous]We may have gotten lucky but when we started house hunting, we began at open houses.  After seeing a few houses that we liked, we stopped by a new house that we knew we couldn't afford.  The agent was talking to other people when we arrived and asked us to wander through the home.   We loved everything because we couldn't afford it and told the agent the same thing.  She asked what we could afford and rattled off 5 houses that were in the large area and told us to drive by them.

We didn't understand protocal, so we sent the agent telling her what we thought of the houses -- we had no idea that this was not typical behavior.

She called us later that night and thanked us.  DH (again not knowing  that this was not typical) asked if we could have coffee with her.  We met the next Saturday morning and she spent about an hour with us.  She basically told us everything we needed to know and gave us the name of several loan officers to get prequalified.  DH's sister-in-law is an agent so we had to use her to buy the house and told the agent.  She asked us to email her when we found something.

The sister in law turned into a dud (she is no longer an agent) and I called the agent several times for advice.  She was very helpful and even told us that the house we eventually bought was coming on the market.

A few days after moving into the house, the agent left a nice housewarming gift at the door with a nice note.

Again, maybe we got lucky.  [/quote]
