Closing

Posted by tomasz in Life

Month ago when I started looking for a house I discovered, the average realtor’s commision in this country is about 6%. Which seemed to me unbelievable high. Then we went to the bank and Todd Davenport told us that we need a realtor.

And here first surprise. If you are abuyer his services don’t cost you a dime. Buyer’s realtor gets half of the seller realtor’s commision. Of course it’s a lie because nobody else but me pays for the house, but that was that kind of lie I could live with.

Today we set an appointment with Todd for closing our transaction. And here next surprise. From all that stuff that you have to make when you buy a house all we did is choosing a house and signed some documents. That’s all. All the restis done by the realtor (probably mostly his assistants). At this point I don’t regret that he is getting that money.

More information after closure - then I’ll be ale to finally say something about our realtor, his services and our feeling about doing good business
