My 2 bits:
Offer an agent a fixed amount to consult.Make sure its someone who can address all the concerns you have that can be put in words (non-verbal terror is not really fixable).
Make sure they can talk about underlying economics and the relevant micro-market without sounding like a salesman douche.
Make it clear you will pay them whether or not a sale comes out of this.
That will keep the conversation honest and fair.
You might not like what you hear but it will be relatively less likely to get you screwed.Good luck dude.

The sweats/tightness/terror sounds like a fight/flight response to an intellectual (non-physical) situation. You need to calm the mind… even if it takes pharmaceuticals.

Sounds like you’re a good lawyer! LOL.

October 9, 2010 at 10:52 AM #615250briansd1Guest[quote=sdrealtor] What are you afraid of other than not being able to whine on this blog about having to buy a home anymore? Its getting old.[/quote]
I can sympathize with Walter.
It’s not the price of a house (or mortgage payment) relative to income, but the value what you’re paying for.
The market is rigged and that’s what’s scary.
San Diego, coastal California, New York and some other big cities’ real estate have held up pretty well. But nationally, real estate is a mess and the economy is dependent on real estate.
Watch out if somehow the bond market reacts negatively and interest rates shoot up.
