My wife and I are about to start looking for our very first house to buy. We received a recommendation from a friend on a real estate agent, and I found another one on the internet that has been very helpful over the past month. Both agents have been sending us MLS listings and pictures of homes in the area we want to buy for the past two months or so while I wrap up things at my current assignment.
Next month we will be ready to actually walk through houses and apply for a mortgage. A part of me dreads picking on realtor over the other and signing a deal with them. The both have been so helpful. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to let the other one down easy?
