[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And FYI, the agent snarkiness comes from the fact that so many people on these threads are claiming they don't need an agent, they can do it themselves or with Redfin and we're just losers who screw up the process. But this post here is proof positive, that is not the case. The people I know who do venture out to do it on their own end up getting burned - sometimes very badly.

The board can't have it both ways. You guys can't all be so smart that you can buy and sell your own real estate then ask questions that indicate you would not be able to buy and sell your own real estate without help.[/quote]

I took issue with the previous realtor's nasty tone, not the issue of whether non-real estate pros should be entering into these sorts of things solo. I don't think they should, and I am not one of those people. Far from it. When we buy again we'll use the same traditional agent we used last time, FWIW. But I do think there's a case to be made for new real estate models, a la Redfin. I really do. And I also think that bad apples like PP are harmful to your cohort's reputation and the overall impressions people have (some justifiably, some less so. Again, I'm a huge fan of my previous agent).

Further, I think OP was just curious - not rushing headlong to go buy it![/quote]
