I will do it on my own, as I have several times in the past elsewhere, which works to both my favor and the sellers (one less agent to pay). I have my eye on 2 or 3 pre-owned currently on the market and have no intention of hiring a buy-side agent.
That's it. That's how I will do it.  |
You will only be aware of a small quantity of available homes without two realtors. You need one MLS realtor (called outside realtor here) and a Villages realtor. The two don’t cross over each other and the Villages listed houses aren’t listed on MLS (only on their app). You can visit the outside listed homes but cannot visit the Village listing homes (which includes all new homes). You have to have a Villages realtor to see nonMLS listed homes, which is an enormous amount of homes on the market. Most nice (and new) homes here you need a realtor because they literally sell within hours of listing. Only the realtors know when they are coming on line and with a good realtor they can get your offer in within the first hours of listing. We bought our dream home while we were still in Oregon packing, and our realtor did a live video walk through and put it on hold for us the within the first couple hours of listing. By that afternoon there were 5 other people on the wait list behind us hoping it would fall through.
