I'm trying not to steer at all by webwench (4.00 / 1) #12 Sun Jul 16, 2006 at 10:46:52 PM EST

My personal inclination is to keep him on, because I hate the negotiations process, I don't really 'get' all the closing attorney and financial stuff, and there are a lot of forms and such involved that realtors just seem to have and know about.

And tonight the family units have broached the idea of getting our own real estate attorney, getting them involved with our financial advisor dude, options about whose name the house goes into, how to claim/manage the income, etc. It's getting very non-simple, very fast.

The agent has sent many listings to me (not including the listing of interest at the moment, though), and will under strong request or mild duress do additional research on homes of interest, but he doesn't, like, research anything on his own, or preview houses, etc.
If that was my last performance review from work, I'd be fired.
Irony: ammo says it's time. Tom is blocked.

Your lawyer knows 1000% more about this than your real estate agent.
Your lawyer will explain it to you if you ask.
You need to hire a lawyer anyway, might as well get your money's worth.
