Question by bbchase81: Do you real estate agents really help you get a good price when purchasing a brand new home?
I can get a $ 1,000 referral by saying a friend referred me (he is suppose to get the money but he is giving it to me cause he’s a friend…). But, would the real estate agent be able to give me a better price on the overall home? Should the real estate agents price override that $ 1,000 cash? How do I get the best deal?

Thanks.
FYI, the $ 1,000 is for community members to refer their friends (my friend is not a real estate agent).

EXCELLENT point on the real estate agent…they get 6% around here and the house I’m thinking of costs $ 118,000. I could “save” them almost $ 8,000 by going at it alone.

Actually,
that information is not to be revealed. If you are not a licensed agent you shouldn’t be receiving any compensation of referral fee. Your friend needs to be cautious, someone could interpret that the wrong way and his license will be revoked. Talk to your friend
