Q on finding buyer agents
Q on finding agents .. looking to buy a home in Cupertino/Saratoga/PA areas .. where can I find a listing of experienced realtors and reviews ?
My buyer wants me to just "leave" furniture. I am afraid they may walk away if I say no. Is it worth it to just "give in?"
They have delayed request for repairs for almost 2 weeks. I think this may be the reason. That they are waiting for me to acquiesce.
