Buyer Etiquette
Is there such a thing as buyer etiquette? I say, yes, there is.
I'd like to set the record straight for buyers when I say that there is a good way to behave when setting out to find your new home.
Most buyers think they can just pick up the phone and call a local Realtor without giving one thought to the actual home buying process. The problem also lies with Realtors who run out to meet an unprepared buyer.

You seriously expect people who are fixing to make the biggest purchase of their lives to ONLY see 8-10 homes then make a decision? This means after seeing 8-10 homes and I do not like any of them...to then buy one anyway or give up looking? That is the silliest thing I have ever heard. Don't get me wrong, last home we bought amazingly enough was the first and ONLY house we went to see. We decided first day and bought it. Now however if I don't find our next home right off, I should give up??? Since we'll be buying something we will spend most of our time in and making the most expensive purchase of our lives I want to make sure we get the right one we're happy with. If it takes looking at 30 homes, so be it. I am hiring the agent to work for ME. I'm not working for them!
Are you kidding me?
8-10 homes?! I'm planning on spending about 400k and you think a realtor should get 12k for taking me to see 8-10 homes and filling in a few blanks on a contract template? Could you be any more entitled? You realtors want thousands of dollars in commissions for doing only a few hours of "work". Amazing.
Realtor with a capital R? Are
