In the 'olden days' my mom used to drive around looking for 'For Sale' signs and then make of us kids jump out and grab a sheet of paper with all the house's details from the tube hanging down from the sign. 😆

" If you don't use a buyer agent, the commission will go to the listing agent."

This is how the Realtor Cartel works. They sneak this clause into the seller contract. Making you as a buyer to HAVE to use an agent. And then once you are in contract with a buyer agent, you are stuck with them.

This has all the predatory behavior of a cartel.

How is this a video about buying a house without an agent? Or was it just the title. The video basically covers why you should use an agent because it’s listed with an agent already. Great content but this one just tries to justify using an agent

This video has me wondering how to sell without a real estate agent

I am going through this situation now, a realtor in CT tried to push a buyers contract on me without even meeting her in person yet. Showed it to an attorney and the language the brokerage eluded to the buyer being responsible to pay 3% to the buyer's agent and it was due even if the house wasn't introduced by them. I asked if the wording could be changed and was met with a big NO. Found this video as I've decided to purchase without an agent and not deal with that hassle.

Got me considering to buy a house without a realtor. So far my experience has not been great. Some realtors think they are doing me a favor. Or want to dictate how everything goes. One tried to sell me a house with 10/10 of flooding. Go figure.

I don’t mind hiring an agent to represent me to buy a house, however, I had to fire seven of them on the last three years. They’re pushy, they lie, they give me low estimates on repairs, they try to convince me to pay more because otherwise somebody else may buy the house (which I don’t care), and become pushy to buy a house in locations where I don’t want to be and on anon. 99.9% of them are crooks but this guy seems really honest. I would’ve hired him if he was in my state.

Upload every day my guy. I love your insight

Currently buying a house with no agent. Maybe my situation is different, I went to a new community where they are building new houses and liked a house they had move in ready. They had great incentives and go it into contract. Perhaps this situation is different?

You can buy a house without a realtor. Use a lawyer and a title company.

[jhughes]

If Zillow /Opendoor /etc provides up to date house listing you can find a house.

The contract will be the only difficult part and will require you to take time prior to house shopping to understand it all and what to look out for. If things are missing or added stuff.

I've done this. Contacted the seller agent myself. Was a great experience actually.

How to figure out if you live in a state where you need lawyers? Is there a website that breaks down which state needs lawyers?

[ichristianduncan]

Nice video! Some states will allow you to be unlicensed and represent yourself. You can then write up the contract as an agent and state that the seller is to keep the buyers agent commission. I’ve done this personally and only do it if you understand the real estate process really well.

Bought a new build home and used the builders agent. I got double the seller credits not having my own agent. I got all closing costs, prepaids and a buy down on the interest rate all thrown in at no cost to me. Not having an agent paid off and the agent, builder mortgage company and title company all were good about closing and being fair. I would never buy a house that way unless it were through a builder though. I got lucky.

I love your videos bro...I based my whole buying a house experience based on your videos...great work!

So what I’m seeing in the area that I live in, which is Northern Virginia, people are going without real estate agents because the market is so hot. So the listing agent will fight for the sale with the person that goes without the real estate agent because they might make 4% commission on a $1 million home Versus 2 1/2% commission on that home. This is advantageous to them because in order to make the same amount that they would make doing a dual agency for the person without the real estate agent, the home would have to be listed for double the price or they would have to sell another home which is more work. So in a competitive market, this is good for the buyer because they will be more competitive for the purchase of the home and the sellers realtor will more likely push the seller to sell to me without the real estate agent since they will make almost twice the commission for that home.

What if our family friend owns a home that we want to buy directly from them... both of us unrepresented by agents

[Toyotajunkie]

Respect for "answering" inquiries. I personally think there is a time and place for doing everything on your own, and purchasing real estate is not one of them.
Lol to not promoting the agent listing... ha ha ha! Love it!

[emmanuelgallegos]

I notice you didn't mention what I consider to be a huge reason that you would want to represent yourself. In a hyper competitive market, self-representation now gives the selling agent a much greater incentive to have your offer be the one the sellers accept, because they would make significantly more commision. Is this simply untrue? Simple greed can be a powerful motivator.
