so, whutsa deal with these realtors?
i'm trying to get a good idea of how much i should spend on the above mentioned apartment. the "really nice, but not that nice" place.
i gave the guy an idea of how much i was willing to go. he responded by saying the buyer is looking for roughly 50 grand more.
50 grand! with all the ca-chings and $ symobls and such.
thats a pretty big difference, and one i'm not really willing to cross. and, the annoying part is, who can tell if the realtor is lying or not? i mean, he says that the guy already has an offer on the house. ... but if he does, why doesn't the seller take that? ...especially if the other offer is higher than my own?
if the place is so great, why is it still on the market? why is there only one other bid on it, that i have to beat?
seriously, boyo, wtf?
so, instead of just trying to buy something, i have to haggle with this third party, who is only in the game for his own commission (read: the more he sells the apartment for, the more money he makes as a bonus).
so, i'm in a quagmire right now.
quagmire: a shit hole. word of the day, brought to you by the elevator tv screen this morning.
