quote:Dave, you probably have to deal with your own transaction and deal with the agents representing the "other" side. I have been a Principal Broker or Broker-In-Charge since 1996 and I had to deal with the transactions of EVERY agent and I had to review ALL of their contracts. When I was "just a real estate agent" I didn't think most of the agents were bad. After I became a PB/BIC I learned a lesson. Don't get me wrong, a good real estate agent is worth every penny he/she earns, the problem is just there are only a few reputable ones.

As to FSBO, I don't cut my own hair, I don't do my own dental work, I don't represent myself in court, I don't do a surgery on myself, etc. I just make sure I hire the BEST in every field. That's how it should be in real estate too, and I feel sorry for those who says "my cousin is a real estate agent, I will list it with him."
