They really do suck at negotiating. I tried to buy the house I was renting, and as part of their negotiation 'tactics' they threatened to have me evicted if the sale fell through. Of course, the sale fell through. No eviction. They should have let their realtor handle negotiating with me, but for some reason they took it on themselves. What is the realtor for, if not to prevent things like bad negotiation tactics. Taught me a lesson though.

Wait. So you got a selling agent (Realtor) to sell a property without using the MLS and I am assuming without using buyer's agents? Like just marketing the house directly to the public?

And then if it didn't sell in 60 days, she would get almost nothing, and would also have to split almost nothing with the buyer's agent?

And she agreed to that?

I forgot to add that we agreed to let her be our agent for the home we were buying. We didn't need a quick exit.

This particular realtor focused on building a client base and having the shortest listing time. Her average time on market was 1.2 day.

The 60 day thing was a luxury for her. It's a metric hack that allows her to get more listings and be more selective. People make all sort of wacky deals to spike metrics.

We also ended up buying another of her listings, so she did well.
