ParticipantWhat also is not discussed here is that as a buyer you can be unrepresented and essentially represent yourself. However it is unlikely that the listing BROKER will want to risk doing the transaction with you. If I were to list a home and a buyer came and was not represented I would not take the risk. As an agent there is way to much liability when you are working with an unrepresented party on the other side. Many people here wonder why the documentation process in real estate is so bulky now and it is simply because of lawsuits. Whenever I take a listing I tell the seller up front that the buyer must be represented. Not even a question nor is a few thousand bucks commission worth that sort of liability risk. My advice for the original poster is to approach the listing agent and work directly with them and try to squeeze him for some bucks or find a realtor who will rebate you some commission back as there are plenty out there who will.

ParticipantReading your original post I would say you were not well represented. I am going to assume that when you made the original appt there was not an offer. While you ASSUMED the agent would call you if an offer came in (which is valid) it does not sound like you told the agent to do so. However I agree that the representation was lacking and the performance of the agent was deficient. It may be a good idea for you to call the broker and present the situation to see what happened. At the very least confronting the agent and asking why the heck the agent did not call you immediately upon receiving an offer on a home you were CLEARLY interested in.
Poor performance based on your description of events.

ParticipantI think this is a pretty bizarre/pathetic topic to be honest.
I have a variety of clients, many of whom are Asian. Here is what I deduce…
Are Asians more bullish? No. In fact all of my clients who are Asians realized the market conditions and identified they were buying for personal reasons, not because they thought the market had bottomed.
Are Asians better qualified? Of all the Asian clients I have had, I think less then 5 of them needed to go FHA. Most of them had strong downpayments. Most of them had strong incomes, the majority of them dual incomes.
Are Asians idiots for buying? Not if they are buying for the right reasons.
In general there is not any difference between the race of any buyer. The original poster is probably seeing more Asian buyers because the buyers pool has weeded out the idiots who were not fiscally responsible enough over the last decade to save money, and work hard. So what you have left in the buyers pool are p responsible people who were not boneheads. Go figure, many of them are Asian.
