We have been dealing with a total scheister on a FSBO townhouse...but our RE agent is awesome...and got us the price and deal we wanted!!!

our bid was accepted tonight for a 3 story townhouse!!!! (in La Jolla...for those that know San Diego)


our fixer upper never came through...so we decided to withdraw and accept this one!!!

Yay! Congrats!

You crack me up with the 'scheister' comment! Totally reminds me of the female character from Bourne Identity

I hear you can sometimes get a better deal with FSBO but the whole process would make me a bit nervous too. Glad it's all working out

ETA: Since it is a FSBO, do you have to come up with your realtor's commission? How else does he/she get paid?




MOST times the seller will split the 2.5% with you...but as I said this guy was quite a character...and he said he listed it so low so he wouldn't have to pay anyone...well...we decided even with her fees - it was still a steal!!

the seller should like having a RE agent involved...b/c they know the law and will protect the seller to an extent

That is awesome! La Jolla is so gorgeous too! How close will you be from the main shopping district and water?

Point A to Point B we are 1 mile from the water...but since there are so many hills to drive around...its probably a little more..

and we are a bit more north than the village part...but <3 miles driving distance to the village
