If you have an in-person meeting with a realtor to sell your home, that realtor is not under a contract with you. So you can meet with several different realtors before hiring one. Realtors will not start really working for you until you have formally hired them and both parties have a signed listing agreement.

Hi Teresa, Fastexpert is a referral source for real estate professionals. They do not charge a fee to the home buyers or sellers. They charge the Realtor a referral fee.

It is very important to have a home inspection done by the buyer's inspector. The buyer must hire a highly-qualified inspector who has plenty of experience, an eye for detail so nothing is missed, and loads of knowledge about all of the issues a buyer will encounter when doing due diligence. A thorough inspection will end up helping a buyer determine whether or not the cost of the important concerns are beyond the buyer's capacity to pay. So an inspection is vital for a buyer to have done before concluding the due diligence period.
