My Buyer's Agent found a home listed in the newspaper and decided not to show it to me because it was a FSBO, and the owner was not offering a commission. I also found that home in the newspaper and asked my Buyer's Agent about it. Long story short, I bought that home and directly paid my Buyer's Agent. I will never use agents again. It was in the year 2000 for $215000 in Longmont Colorado, when interest rates were 7.25%. Now, it's worth about $500000 and I recently paid it off completely after cash-out refinancing it several times.
@@MgtowRubicon that was amazing of you to pay your buyers agent. Commissions are always and have always been negotiable.. but your buyers agent also can’t work for free. Real estate agents help protect you, contractually, and help guide you thru the process. Times are different than they were 24 years ago .. but I understand your thoughts

You can look at it this way .. that’s it added into the purchase price .. yes.
Buyers were always paying for their own agent.
Where do you think the sellers get the money for paying the commission?
This won't end well for realtors.
