The ones that only see the house, once, are not educated, do not read the docs, do not do research etc....that are wasting everyone's time and emotions. 20% down or you should NOT be purchasing a home and adequate reserves for 6 months-1 year in reserves, FICO 720 or greater. Real school for real adults, time for integrity and honor to make a come back in the ethically challenged sinking ship called America. beware of falsely “qualified” buyers–those that are offering less than 20% down, or have verbal promises of gifts from family/friends–most of these “buyers” are jokers.

We don't work to "sell" buyers anything. We counsel them on buying a home. Yes we have agreements upfront. Just like a consumer hires an attorney or an accountant. When I show buyers how I can save them thousand and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars, they are happy to listen and work with us.

Personally, I think they are silly. Other agents claim I'm an idiot for not using them. Oh well, I'll get over that. I always snicker at the claim "I only show your home to buyers I've qualified" that some agents make. The problem with "pre-qualing" buyers is unless you run, and analyze, a full credit report, bank statements, and financials, then you're not really qualifying them. In fact, all you're doing is annoying them. So what is the point? I can count the number of times I’ve used a buyer agency agreement on one finger. Personally, I think they are silly.
