What Do Ya'll Think About Real Estate Agents? Any Agents Here?

[Prince.Skeletor]

So i'm looking to move and we have a real estate agent talking to another agent who listed the home.
He barely responds and is very snobbish.
If our offer is not super close to the listed price he will say oh these people are not serious, the agent said he is like that.
But my level of seriousness is a direct reflection of his level of seriousness.

Maybe i'm only looking at it from my perspective but being snobby to me in sales towards potential customers is wild.
I can't imagine these people in IT Sales.

I'm guessing these are workload minimalists, they do the least amount of work but still get a paycheck but in the end everyone but him loses.
Likely has a full-time job so he puts in the least amount of work possible in real estate.

Is that what it is??

Also get a black home inspector, do not let your real estate agent pick the home inspector

There's definitely agents here, just not real estate agents.

And a Black appraiser. When cacs see a Black family lives in a home, they automatically undervalue it.

Then I guess we gotta just take all of our family photos down, along with any other signs that a black person owns the home.
