awesome tactic. thank you for sharing.

in my life I did a "normal" buy, did a FSBO, and latest did a buy via Redfin.

I can see a place for buying agents, as they can/should do a lot of the legwork scoping out potential homes for their buyers. I did that myself when I did Redfin, which is what I wanted, but I can see how most people wouldn't have the time (basically house shopping was my fulltime job for 3 months)

I only did my FSBO sale at the peak of the last housing boom, so with that caveat in mind, I don't really see a place for normal selling agents.
