I find it unfortunate that RU-vid has so many channels that are great for teaching anyone how to build a house, grow a garden, learn code, or even manage a business. However, there are not many good channels on actually helping home buyers or sellers who want to avoid going through a realtor. Why would a realtor make a video that tells people how to avoid them? They wouldn’t…
For decades there have many videos, books, etc.. that teach people how to buy without an agent. A person has to be interested enough to look. Not just limited to saving a 3% commission but also ways to get a house for less, creative financing and many other things. Investors have been doing these things forever. In the 2020-2022 boom investors were beating out retail buyers over and over because of having an agent in tow. The retail buyers believed the agent saying "seller pays my commission". The investors could "over pay" by 3% because they don't normally use an agent so it cost them nothing to bid higher than a retail buyer.
Wait for real videos to show people how to buy a home, this video is misleading the audience to make it seem harder than it is to buy a home. This is why buyer’s agent are like used car salesman
Investors have been making videos to show not only how to buy without an agent, but also how to avoid the listing agent too (buyers actually pay for everything), how to find houses before other buyers, get seller financing, etc...
What a joke. The whole system is a trap. I just paid 19K to 2 realtors. That didn't really do that much work. They are just trying to justify why they should earn the high percentage. There has gotta be a better way.
Correct. Most pay an agent $30,000 instead of the $1500 to hire an attorney. Buyers aren't very well informed. And you don't even need an attorney. The purchase contract can be downloaded for free which is why an attorney would charge very little. The reality is if a buyer wants to back out virtually no seller is going to sue them to honor he contract or give up the deposit. It would be expensive and tie up the property for months.
