[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought and sold with Redfin and saved 25k in the process that truly would have just been thrown away had we gone with a "full service" agent. On the house we sold we had 3 full-price offers within a week thanks to my own work getting it prepped and ready. For the house we bought, we beat out other offers thanks to guidance to help us be the most competitive. So, for us, we missed out on nothing by passing on a regular agent.[/quote]

3 full price offers in a week when you sold and beat out other offers when you bought?

Sounds like this agent sold your house for too little and made sure you paid more than anyone else for the new house.

[quote=Anonymous]What is interesting is in between homes we are in a temporary rental. When we went under contract on the home we bought, we gave notice here and the property is now listed by the owners' "full service" agent, who has been quite flaky. The owners live out of state now, but this guy they depend on listed their home about 1.5 weeks after he said he would, and 2.5 weeks after we gave our notice. It then took him another week to even get the lock box on, so I've gone out of my way to be here for agents who have wanted to show the home and let them in. I completely did not have to do that but I'm a decent person and feel bad that the owners don't even realize what a flake they are paying all that extra cash to. He doesn't even know who is coming or follow up with them after. And then to top it off, they had an open house and he wasn't even the agent present. Please, tell me, what on earth makes this goon worth an extra 10k???[/quote] There are good doctors and bad doctors, good lawyers and bad lawyers, good cashiers and bad cashiers, good realtors and bad realtors. Some people are not worth what they are paid. Some are.

I can tell you, however, that just as a good doctor, a good lawyer, and a good cashier wouldn't slum it out at a cut-rate shop, the good realtors would not be working at a cut-rate agency. [/quote]
