Should You Sign A Buyer Agency?
Hard to say! Initial meetings can be all “flowers and happiness” but I still like to test with the people I’m going to work with. Same is that I want them to feel comfortable with me and see how I work. Like a relationship, there are always growing pains. I don’t ask for them up front because I don’t think that’s the right thing to do “relationship-wise” on a first meeting when they’re just asking questions.
