I bought on short sale and my realtor made it happen. Made $180,000 when I sold that place.
Used the same realtor buying the next place, it was down to 8 people that put offers in on the only day showing. We got it because she knew a couple of tricks, one not exactly ethical.
She is a family friend and normal people would have got 1/2 the work from her.
A hardworking realtor can absolutely make a difference. Good luck finding one!
- quickthrower2 3y agoOf course it is very zero sum and sharky. If you get a place below market value or sell it above that is great for you but someone else has to lose. So all these commissions are taken from all and the mean average person has no advantage. Bad value for money on average.

- latency-guy2 3y agoAh, but you didn't get a hardworking realtor, you got a family friend to break the rules just for you. You even admit that no one else would have gotten the same deal that you did. There doesn't seem to be any luck available.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoIsn’t some gotcha. You’re just rewording what I wrote as if it was. If you got a hard-working realtor, they could do the same things that our realtor did, because they were friendly.
- latency-guy2 3y agoIt isn't a gotcha at all.
