[quote=Ren][quote=patb]i think buyers agents are there to work on your emotions.
Sure if you don’t know a neighborhood they help but
if you do know it, the buyers agent only gets paid if you buy so they seek to work your emotions[/quote]
I don’t think that’s true. Houses aren’t like used cars – people can’t be talked into buying a house they don’t want. Any reasonably intelligent person can see manipulation a mile away. The buyer’s agent is there to let them into houses, do the paperwork for offers, and give advice when asked. .[/quote]
Um Let’s see how many errors I can find here
1) Houses aren’t like used cars. Yeah, My 12 year old Camry is paid for. If i had a mortgage,
I’d still be paying.
1b) Houses are sold based upon payment. Very few
people figure out $/SF, Estimated depreciation, Maintenance budget, Hell most people don’t know
what PITI means.
1c) Houses are sold emotionally. How many people
look at the “Curb Appeal”, me I want an ugly duck.
I’ll fix it up. My house in Oklahoma was Fugly
when we bought it, 5 years later, it was gorgeous.
2) People can’t be talked into buying a house
they don’t want? Woah, dude, there are a
million salespeople who’se livelihood is
based upon your denial.
3) Any reasonably intelligent person can see
manipulation? Wow. You realize people voted
for George Bush. The average person is an idiot.
50% of all Americans are below average.
