<prompt> Human: Original PostJust a quick updaterant:Okay so when it came to commission my realtor was definitely going by industry standards, but the reason why I felt like he was pulling a fast one on me is because he was super pushy and kept pressuring me to up my offer. He also wanted me to only work through HIS contacts, i.e. - mortgage lender, lawyers and inspectors. Overall I felt like he didnt have my best interest in mind. I was working with another realtor before, but this guy got recommended to me by a very good friend so I wanted to give him a shot. The situation gets sticky because I really do love the property we saw but I do not want to work with him. I want to submit an offer but not thru him. I contacted the original realtor I was working with and understandably she was upset. Now she says that legally she cannot submit the offer for me since I saw it with another realtor. I really do NOT want to work with this guy. My original realtor said I would have to wait a minimum of 30 days before I can submit an offer thru her. Honestly I feel like the entire situation turned into a huge mess and maybe its a sign that this property isnt for me. Thoughts?  <response>: I had an apartment broker who, while not as pushy as yours sounds, wasnt the best. If I could do it all over again, I would choose another. However, at the end of the day, Im now living in my dream apartment. I have no more contact with that broker, and definitely dont have to remain friends. If your heart is set on the house, just go professional firm, and do a business transaction to where you feel comfortable. You definitely dont have to use his mortgage lenders or lawyers or anything if you dont feel comfortable. Its no good for him now, because you definitely wont be recommending him to anyone else. Sorry you are in this position. Think about the house. If deep in your heart you know its where you want to live and you know youre paying what its worth, Id say go for it. But if there are any doubts, just fire him and go for someone else!
