Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay….you did GOOD!!!!!!
A lot of reasons, Deb. Being divorced myself, sometimes the memories are too much to stay. A lot of other things also. Unless a person has been there its hard to understand.
That is the way these thing work. Got to remember that the agent spends a lot of time with people who don't end up buying or that take a really long time to decide. So it doesn't work out as well for them as it may appear. I almost never use a buyers agent, I contact the seller's agent directly. That way the agent gets 2x the commission and has more incentive to push my offer, and sometimes they will lower their commission to make my offer more competitive.
Often, if the judge declares the house community property, it has to be sold & the money divided.
Jeeze Deb, did you have to say that?
This is the house before the owner moved out:
Get new locks put on the doors. You don't know how many others of the ones you have are floating around and who has them. A realtor, unfortunately can be a necessary evil if you don't know squat about home buying. The one you got, hopefully looked out for your interests and kept you away from expensive pitfalls.
