Like any profession, there are good Realtors & there are not so good Realtors. Do some research, ask for references or ask your friends, family and co-workers for recommendations. The listing agent is working for and representing the best interests of their client - the sellers. Buying a home is generally one of the largest financial decisions a person will ever make. Put a "buyer's agent" to work and have the benefit of an experienced professional on your side. A "buyer's agent" serves as a buyer's advocate, advisor, negotiator and confidante throughout the buying process. Hank, Thanks for sharing this story – sorry your friends had a bad experience.
