[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here. I guess I don't stand a chance of getting a reasonable deal if the area is full of aggressive realtors trying to make money off of novice home-buyers like me. I'm ok with paying the realtor a fee (Well, actually, I'd rather not, but I don't think I can outsmart the system as it currently stands)[/quote]

OP, you seem very inexperienced to be taking this on yourself. Are you aware that one of those "aggressive realtors" can work FOR you, walk you through every step of an incredibly complicated process, WITHOUT being paid a fee by you?

Yes, I know I'm inexperienced, and reading the input from several PPs, am coming to learn that I've only considered the tip of the iceberg. And I didn't mean to bash realtors--I was contemplating a different word than aggressive, but in the end it captures what I meant as very, very proactive and goal oriented. I expect that some, but not all, would do this to the point of being self-interested rather than assisting a property newbie like me. I know at some point finding the right one will be key. I have only a weak network in DC as I've moved back after many years abroad.

I'm thinking ahead in terms of whether this is a route I should pursue and invest more time in exploring this path--or give it up as pure fantasy. (Loose plan is to rent for another year or so before home-buying. We have enough for a down payment but aren't feeling settled enough to take the plunge, nor do we yet have a feel for the lay of the land enough to make a big step.) Hence haven't made appointments with any realtors, for example. I love hearing the positive results from the PPs who have gone this route and most of you who've done it sound like you've been very satisfied. But I'm daunted now about the technicalities of building. I'm glad I am getting some realistic feedback and good recommendations from DCUMs. :)  [/quote]
