Can anyone recommend me a good realtor that helps me to buy my first home, gives honest opinion on houses, and offers rebate commission (its usually around 50% of the entire 2.5-3% seller commission). My budget is around 1.2M. 34, Indian, Male. Amazon, SDE3, $460K
Whoever returns you 50% commission is going to do poor job i his work. In that case do your won research, don't expect your realtor to be efficient.
I have a realtor helped me bought the first house. PM me, I can share his contact
Your expectations are bit un realistic.. "good realtor" + "gives honest opinion on houses"+ "offers rebate commission" does not exist.. those who give rebates do just paper work and you do the rest.. if you want good realtor, pay up for their expertise and time.
I would not trust any realtor trust me on that. They will sell you anything you pick or tour. I would say do your own research and narrow down community , neighborhoods. You need realtor for paper work. I am in same boat and has a realtor but use when I need to tour a house or want to put an offer.
Is your realtor offering rebate?
See local Indian face book groups. You will find lot of answers to that question
