I was using Larry to look at some houses for the past couple of months. I finally found a house that I really liked and the listing price was 149,000. It was a big house with no yard but I liked it and was about to make an offer. My uncle stopped me from making an offer and he checked out past listings of the house. A listing only within two months ago had the house at 134,000. So I email Larry and tell him I would like to bid on the house for 134,000. He tells me that I can bid whatever I want on the house but there is no guarantee that I will get the bid which is true. My uncle asks to talk to Larry and questions him about how much the sellers bought the house for two months ago. Larry hesitates and says "um, um. Um..." then he finally says the truth about something and the house was bought for 114,000 two months ago. My uncle confronts him about saying anything about my bid and that he should have my best interest in mind. Larry says well 134,000 will never go through and if you were the seller would you accept 134,000? Larry tried to sell me a house for 35,000 more than it was purchased for a couple of months ago. It's funny that Larry will charge me 3% of the house but he will never help me get the best deal. Never trust a realestate agent and always bid lower than the listing price. My uncle concluded that Larry was one of the agents who are trying to raise the housing prices back up so he is listing houses way above the fair price.
