so i was poking around the net looking at houses , answered something somewhere and was contacted by a "buyer agent' from 40 miles away. he showed me a new listing (absolute junk), and i told him of a house i had been watching all summer. i thought it was overprice at 154k. so he showed it,and i wanted to make an offer.i asked what his opinion was, he asked what i wanted to pay. i asked for a cma, he emailed six listings that sold in the last few months.i said i'd be happy at 141k,he wanted to offer 141k right up.so i had him offer 141k with $1500 off closing, but but without a cma, how do i know what to offer? is that a cma, some listings? in looking on recent solds on zillow i now put the price between 128k and 143k. but i am not educated in appraising relestate, i'm a welder. what does a buyer agent do?not much in this case.

he didn't explain anything. i asked for a cma so he emailed the mls listings, of which only two were comparable. he is trying to rush to close, seems to me he is just looking for a easy payday. i made my offer based on comps i found relevant on zillow. but i put hours into this, he put minutes. he also keeps sending mls listing emails, and if this offer is countered i want to get away from this guy. am i bound to him just because he emailed mls listing i have been aware of all summer?

this is in waukesha wisconsin, a little 2 bedroom starter, with a big garage.

i signed a wb-36 buyer agency/ tenant representation agreement in wisconsin with a buyer broker to have him put in an offer on a house, which was apparently turned down, i have not heard back and the offer expired friday. this guy is a total loser, i asked repeatedly for a cma, which is what i hired him for. never got it, bid on my gut, thank god that didn't work out.i was in a big rush, and now it appears i agreed to a one year exclusive agreement. it says see attached addendum "BA". i couldn't find that( the offer to purchase, broker agreementand some other crap were all emailed to me 20 minutes before work, i had to print them and fax them back which cost me $18.66. i called him about addendum "BA", he said "oh i didn;t include that, it doesn't matter, so i said i'm going to trust you because i'm out of time here. so i signed the wb- 36. this guy added zero value to the deal. i want to unattach this leech, how do i cancel a buyers agreement. man this guy is a preditor.

i am looking to buy a starter in se wisconsin. most were priced at bubble prices,and seem to have disappeared off the mls in the last few weeks.there is a short sale, $193 in 2005, $165 now. i am thinking on that. there doesn't seem to be any seller panic, but a price correction is the only way i will afford a home. i'm 50 and may want to sell in 12 to 15 years.excellent credit, only 5% down.would continue to rent but keep getting the neighbors from hell.

i'm in wisconsin so there's always the casinos. ( always hit on sixteen)

because i rented a duplex and the neighbors turned into the neighbors from hell.the owner does't know what to do so he hides, and i dont want to go to jail so now i am also. for this i pay rent?

so now i'm 50, peak of my money making years. i own my retirement property and fund roths to do the work it needs in 10 years. all set. all i want is some peace and to be left alone. if i buy and can't break even in 12 years i'm screwed. i am so sick of this a-hole i am liable to seriously hurt him. with a lot of hard work these people may one day move up to what my southern grandmama used to call white trash

just stopped snowing in s.e. wisconsin. got about 20  inches in 24 hours.

i can testify my buyer leech was a lying opportunist, with 3 driving after revocations and a lewd and lascivious conviction in wisconsin. also worked out of an office 50 miles away from the one he said he was in. said he would cancel my contract, but i had to track down his managing broker before he sent the wb-47 dated today, which he said he sent last week. should he post that on his web site?
