Can I ask my agent to listen while he talks to the listing agent? (Is there any rules that that wouldn’t allow or would they need to disclose that I’m also on the call)?

As a consultant, you’re used to scheduling calls, and then everyone shows up at the same time and chats. However, realtors just cold call each other as the day progresses because that’s the quickest way to get things done with that volume of communication. And that one call that your used to may be broken up into five separate calls over the course of an hour. It’s full of “can’t talk let me call you back” and “give me ten mins to contact my client for approval” etc etc

Asking to listen in may slow things down so much that you miss every opportunity you’re looking for

The only time I can really foresee this being a good idea is if you’re buying new and there’s a scheduled appointment to talk to the builder

Good point. These agents are shady and sneaky as hell but would always tell you that “they only work in the best interest of their client”.

Hey are you the same guy who was wanting to be part of the negotiation process? I think the best play here is for you to find a realtor that you trust. If your realtor is giving you sketch vibes, maybe they are the wrong realtor for you

I don’t think that was me but understand why people think agents only care about closing the deal vs best interest in mind.

Sure, you can ask. Your agent has a fiduciary obligation to you, so nothing the other agent says to yours should be private between them.

There is a company that I want to apply to and I see opportunities on LinkedIn that interest me. I’m also working with a recruiter. It’s close to where I live and she knows where I live but she hasn’t recommended it. I’m guessing she doesn’t have a network with the company. Should I ask her to represent me or should I apply directly myself? What advice do you have? What are the pros and cons?

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?
