Just walk into any open house and you will get a good idea about what most real estate agents are all about….
Ask them “how’s the market??” or “is this house a good deal” and you will hear all kinds of nonsense to move the property and get their commission..Either the market is up and you should buy now or the market is down and you should buy now.
Also don’t wait because “this property won’t last”…or “another family is very interested”..
It is not because they are actively dishonest, they just serve themselves first, the seller second and you the buyer last….
no offense to any agents, just my 2 cents from going to open house for 15 years…
Why should they scruitinze the loan?? it is not in their interest..they just want the place to close then move on….It is just business, I am not offended, you just have to protect yourself….
