Jon- another comment, about the "other agent".
Houses often get listed on a Multiple Listing Service where the info on them is available to all the subscribing real estate agents in a geographical area. Sellers hope a bunch of agents bring potential buyers to see their house - the more people submitting offers to buy, the greater the likelihood of them bidding up the price. Nothing underhanded about any of this - just some people good at dealing with supply and demand... And real estate agents work on commission, so you can bet they want to see the sale actually happen. -Ben > All of you guys have so much worldy experience, maybe you guys can > help...I'm buying my first house and I just learned that I've been > preapproved for my mortgage, but I was wondering, are houses negotiable like > cars, or should I just take the asking price? > > Also I am just working with the mortgage guy that the person who is selling > the house refered me too, and I'm sure they are running some sort of > deal...they all are (damn capitalist pigs!).
