inspections, what other services do buyer agents usually provide besides

发帖数: 110 | 2 I also assume the house purchase contracts are standard for resale homes:
escrow and titile company, not the agents, handle the paperwork. Anyone can
shed some lights on this too?

Personally, I don't think you gain much by taking all the efforts by
yourself. Of course, you hope that by eliminating the buyer's agent from the
list, you have a bit better leeway to negotiate for a lower price, but, you
never know, and it is not guaranteed.
I worked with a agent, a good one. I enjoyed many conversations, open-house
trips, suggestions and learning experience. She recommended reliable
inspectors, efficient lawyer and loan agent, making the purchasing a breeze.
She replied every phone call I made, and all my emails too. Her timely
response to the seller's agent was also important for us to win the house (
there was a higher bidder). Treat your agent as a friend, an adviser, not
someone who just want part of your payment.

发帖数: 123 | 4 这个嘛，我觉的一个是，有些房子你自己没办法看，只有找个AGENT，一个就是AGENT会
给你些价格建议，主要是你刚开始看房子的时候。那是我的没感觉， AGENT说的还蛮对
的，但是过了两个月，我的感觉就很准了。不过，我要是相信AGENT的话，能早买两个
月的房子，而且那个第一看上的是我现在最喜欢的。当时AGENT说值更高，我不信，就
错过了。现在想想还是有些后悔。
还有就是，在CLOSE的过程中，基本我每天都跟AGENT打5-10分钟电话，从装修多少钱，
到程序是什么，到CLOSE之后怎么办，到那些PAPER WORK什么意思。
不过即使这样，而且我的AGENT退了我一半的COMMISSION,我还是觉得，AGENT赚的挺多的。
不过，即使你没有BUYER AGENT，好像也不可能把那些COMMISSION都拿到手。LISTING AGENT一般更黑。

发帖数: 110 | 5 I agree with you on most parts. But finding a good agent is THE challenging
part, since there are no established system to track their credibility (such
as yelp). I would pay the full commission if I find such agents.

发帖数: 110 | 6 My concern is not about paying commission, but i simply haven't met honest,
knowledgeable and trustworthy agent so far. So I started doing my own
research.
多的。

一些commission。

发帖数: 123 | 10 进CONTRACT前没什么了。（如果你自己能看房子的话）。
进CONTRACT后还是有不少要问的。我一共写/收了上百封EMAIL在CLOSE的 过程中。
