Why Won't Your Real Estate Agent Answer Your Questions?

It’s no secret … Real Estate agents can’t provide some information sought by consumers, even when this information might be critical to their home buying decision process because…It’s Against the Law. The fact of the matter is agents must be very careful about what they say because there are many Fair Housing Laws that protect the rights of all interested parties.
Here Are 10 Topics Your Real Estate Agent Won’t Discuss With You:
1.  I won’t answer your questions about other people
2.  I won’t discuss my clients with you.
3.  I won’t disclose my client’s opinion of your home 
5.  I won’t answer your questions about real estate in another state
6.  I won’t discuss your property or its value if I have an interest in the property
7.  I won’t disclose details about the property condition of my listing
8.  I won’t answer your questions about neighborhood safety
9.  I won’t discuss local schools with you
10. I won’t tell you the contract price for a listing that is “under contract,” but not yet settle If you feel that your agent is giving you a runaround, don’t be too quick to judge. Tell the agent how you feel and ask WHY he or she won’t tell you what you want to know.
