The new owner got a house in Churton Park, an upscale neighborhood for $610,000.
I forgot to mention I had a fixed price of $600,000, and even then I was willing to go to $580,000.
Didn't opt for the ever-annoying auction / best offer over / tender, because I hate that, and I'm guessing others hate it too.
So even though the real estate agent really didn't deserve $19,000 for about 8 hours work, it did get me a better deal than I anticipated.
I forgot to mention when I asked the agent whether I should grant an extension, he strongly recommended no exntension. Now I know why he would have that position.
I think there should be a rule change that the agent doesn't get paid until mortgage is settled, but now I know that's the norm.
Last thoughts: get a lawyer you can trust, and don't get a lawyer recommendation from a real estate agent ever!
You might as well be flashing huge wads of cash in a bad part of town.
