What an incredible Happy Hour! Thanks Nick for hosting. I didn't even get to ask, Nick, why do you think a seller's agent is more important/pivotal than a buyers agent (I believe I heard you say this in a podcast)? What do you think they DO provide in wrangling that sale to the finish line. Thank you.

Hey All, Just a quick reminder that we've got another Happy Hour Call this Thursday from 4pm – 5pm PDT. Sean and I had a great chat last time! Would love to have as many of you there as possible!

I saw a potential property today that has already been reduced from $439k to $429k. Hypothetically, let's say $429k is the accurate market value. 3% of that is about $12.8k. Thus, if I make an offer at $419k, and explain that they don't need to pay the buyers agent, would that be more attractive than the person who is offering $429k with a buyers agent? What is the proper way to word it, so that the seller understands that it is more advantageous to them? Should I always specify that in the offer letter? Also, is there a way of knowing how the commission is laid out in the contact between the seller and seller's agent? Is there a chance that the seller would get all 6% if the buyer is unrepresented? If that is the case, being unrepresented doesn't really have advantages does it?

Are we allowed to ask about the current owners utilities bills? Like a record of expenses? I see past taxes listed but no other information.

Hey, all! I've gotten to talk to most all of you individually, which I've loved because you're all such awesome people! Which got me thinking, it'd be great to create a connection point for our community here. I'd love to host a live call for anyone who can make it to get to know each other a bit and to talk DIY Home-buying. Let's sort out a time. Please click on the time that works best for you!
