Keep in mind that Village "realtors" are more accurately "sales agents" who have no fiduciary responsibility to you. They are free to represent whichever side of the deal is necessary to close the sale. Twice I overheard my agent urge a prospective buyer of my house to look at slightly less expensive homes in another Village, rather than work to close my sale. I would have fired her if I could. Still want to tip them?
