[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  Let's say it takes approx. $1000 or less to make an uncomplicated offer and follow that offer to closing with a lawyer.

If you're talking about buying a house for $800K, and if you feel you can negotiate on your own behalf just as well as an agent could (I suppose that's variable depending on agent and buyer), that means.... wowie.  You could make at least 23 failed $800K offers and break even.

Of course, [b]you'd also have to do all your own searching for homes.[/b]  [/quote]

Are there any buyers left who don't do all their own searching for homes? Anyone not heard of the Internet yet?

The only time I see an agent as useful is when there are not many listings, and a perfect, underpriced home is about to come on the market, and the agent shows it to you, you make an offer and the buyer accepts it before listing the house, thus fending off a bidding war on a well-priced house.

Long gone are the days when the realtor drove you around in her Caddy. I'm old enough to remember those days, and I'm sure glad they are in the past!![/quote]
