I was thinking of starting a similar thread.
I made alot of mistakes with my first home purchase. Many! But the main was using the selling agent to represent me and the seller (BIG MISTAKE) This paticular broker intentionally took advantage of me (first time home buyer), I grossly over payed, many items in the house should have been negotiated/fixed,few vital things were not "properly" disclosed, she changed the contract on me at the last minute, the list goes on.
She has a horrible rep in our community where she specializes. I wish there was a forum where I can state her name. Most realtors are scum and their priorities are their commission! Do your homework, use redfin!
Get an independent lawyer to double and triple check all documentation and to help you negotiate even a better deal!
