Answered Questions
Legally and ethically the agents are supposed to be a fiduciary to their clients. I am not sure that always happens, but that is the intent. In the northeast (right now) we are still seeing major supply shortages, and it is very rare to get a home under asking (if asking is in line with the market), so maybe what you perceive as collaboration is actually working in your favor??? I would suggest doing some investigation on your own. What are houses of the same size, condition etc selling for in your area? Is your deal significantly higher? If you ask your agent direct questions about how things have been handled, do you feel that the answers being provided are truthful? If not check with another agent in your area, to see if they would handle the situation similarly. If you still feel uncomfortable, there are ways to back out of the agreement. You may lose some deposit money (maybe not) but it might be worth that loss in the long run.
