Honestly, as a buyer you lose nothing by using a realtor.

I can't speak for where you are, but around here they get early access to listing and have an SQL style database where they can sort whatever you want and easily check into all sorts of abstract different locations, features, etc quickly and easily with alerts being sent to you instantly before they hit the general listings on stuff like Realtor.com etc. It is also likely with a legit realtor you can just go look at a place whenever without it being an open house, whereas when you are trying to buy it becomes a pain as a relative "nobody" in the property business to set up meet and greets and walkthroughs other than open houses.

And you pay nothing, its the seller who is losing money on it being a brokered deal.

Makes it easier I think, because in order to get good stuff you need to jump on it within maybe an hour.

A good realtor will also have no problem shwoing you around the market comparable, and telling you places to avoid. They should straight up tell you "wow, this is a shitty money pit, we shouldn't bother." etc

And you pay nothing, its the seller who is losing money on it being a brokered deal.

Seems pretty clear from the trailer that they're going in a very different direction from the manga/anime. Less psychological cat and mouse and more action. If that's the case I'll almost certainly find it disappointing the same way I'd find an action-oriented remake of the Shining disappointing.

Agreed. A good realtor is good. A bad realtor is a total waste of time and usually actively harmful. Remember also that realtors are incentivized to get you into a house ASAP, instead of necessarily the best house for you. To them they want to both get you into the most expensive house possible, and also as soon as possible, to maximize their income. You have to fight these incentives.

However:

This is not always true. If you are competing with another offer on a house, your offer is worse than a no-realtor offer and you would have to increase your offer accordingly.

People sell without Realtors? O.o here anyway realtors commission is split and the pool is the same if there is one or two. But if the other person has a designated agent you really should too.

That just seems like an awful idea. No amount of commission is worth the headache of negotiating price with multiple people simultaneously on a house, holding your own open houses, marketing your own house, negotiating terms and conditions... and doing all this against a pro that does this 15 times a month and has for the last 10 years.

Oh God. Just makes me shudder thinking about all the extra bullshit you'd have to do. Buying/selling/moving sucks enough as is.

Although I suppose I'm lucky and my realtor is amazing. Does business the right way. Took us to probably 100 homes , was very knowledgeable on the market, didn't really pressure us at all, negotiated very well by keying onto sellee sticking points, and just generally made the whole thing so much easier.

Likewise I don't understand how entertainment professionals can not have an agent; people like esports players and casters. Just does not make sense not having the pro on your team.

Dont go. My family inlaws are part Filipino, and they have pics from their family still there. They have to hire mercenaries for protection. Its literal Wild West.

White boys will only attract the local chicks trying to get a ticket out, and the gangs over there.

Action-oriented Death Note makes absolutely zero sense. Why not just make something else?
