Can I Save Money If I Contact The Listing Agent?

I have been asked the question many times through out the years “would I save money if I contact the listing agent”.

The short answer is no. There are 2 sides to any real estate transaction.
1) The Listing Side
2) The Selling side

If the listing agent sells you the property he or she gets both sides of the transaction commissions.

Another thing to remember is that the listing agent owes any buyer honesty and confidentiality, however their fiduciary responsibility is to their seller.

In most cases the myth about saving money by going through the listing agent is just the opposite, because the listing agent has contracted with the seller to get the maximum amount for the property.

A sub-agent or buyers agent is more likely to help facilitate a better contract for the buyer than would a listing or sellers agent.

I love busting Real Estate myths, so if you have one please email it to me.

Mack Is Heading Back to Vegas Soon

As many of my Las Vegas real estate clients know, my husband and I have been in Missouri on personal family business.

It appears as though my husband Mack will be heading back to Vegas before to much longer, and I should follow him by 30 - 60 days.

While I still love Missouri, my heart longs for Las Vegas.
