Need home buying tips, any agents here, or anyone with buying experience? Long

Real estate prices are currently at an all time high with many listings selling for more than the asking price.

DO NOT low ball.

Most realtors will not act as an agent for both parties. They will usually appoint another agent, however you are still dealing with the same company. Better to have one of your own.

Question 1- why did this agent not alert you to this property, sine that's what you asked them to do? That's a strike in my book.

Question 2- have you considered purchasing your wife's fathers property?

Answer 1, I dont know why she didn't call us about this one cause its exactly what we told her we wanted. I'm guessing she takes her local buyers more seriously, who knows. But I watch the online sites Daily, we contacted her as soon as we decided that this place warranted a special trip up to check it out.

Answer 2, father in law left everything to my wife, but his wishes were for her to split everything 3 ways with her bro and sis, which she has done. Her brother wanted the house and property, so he got it and less cash from the estate. Plus, her dad's house was actually just a few miles across the boarder into California. We do not want to be california residents. And his house was trashed anyway, needs to be knocked down and replaced, or completely stripped down to the studs and rebuilt.
