The problem is that both “lawyers” (RE agents) in a RE transaction are working on “contingency”, ie getting a cut of the final settlement. Imagine if you went to trial as the defendant with an arrangment that your lawyer would be paid out of the judgment. Even if it was a damages only case where all involved conceded liability from the outset, so some award was a surety, it would be absurd to believe that a conflict did not exist. Yet, this is how the commission structure in RE transactions is set up for a buyer. Absurd.
And yes, it would be cheaper than $24k to have a lawyer do MANY low ball offers. Thats the beauty of Winforms, isn’t it?
