Reply to comment by BrightLuchr in Real Estate Agents Caught on Camera Facilitating Mortgage Fraud for a Fee by Puzzleheaded-Bug7189

I will argue that as a seller, I’m not letting someone in my house that isn’t being escorted by a licensed realtor. I’m not going to let random strangers into my house without someone that I can call up afterwards if something got damaged.

A license makes no difference. I was selling a house last year, not my first time around. I had NEVER met a buyer or seller until closing before. Buying you make an appointment and the seller is gone somewhere. As a seller, you are not home when people come looking.

I had a realtor and buyers just walk in one day, zero notice, didn't knock, didn't use the lock box. And I would think a licensed agent call my realtor and say hey that guy was home. Never said a word.

The next buyer I spent an hour trying to avoid politics as they asked question after question at the showing. Another who just showed up at least they did knock. They were hard core Trump people, looking for a red town with even fewer regulations than the red town they live in. Made an offer then found an excuse to back out, far to overextended to buy it. A 100% VA loan, zero room for any problems.

Then hire an escort for $20/hr, instead of for 4% of the equity in your home.
