> I'd recommend talking to a real estate professional to understand what's actually happening in your local market, but this is HN and you all think us Realtors are useless freeloaders. I'll take you up on that. Is there a way to post a specific price I want to pay, and then pay the realtor x% of the difference between what I set and what I actually pay? For example, if I set $400,000 and they find me a place at $300,000, maybe I could pay them $25,000 at a 25% difference.
