Using two agents(dealers)to find a home?

Post by Christina » Thu Jan 30, 2003 1:12 am


My husband and I have decided to buy a MH and have found 2 diffrent agents who both seem to have a good insight in this bussiness.
I know that it is my right to go through anyone I choose although I am wondering if this will upset one or the other that I am dealing with someone eles. I guess my question is whether or not I should tell them that there are others that Im dealing with. Its all about the better deal right? Right. One says that they can get us into our place very quickly and the other says that they can get us to a nice place for a very small down. I want to go with both to see where I will benifit most.
I know that everyone knows everyone in this bussiness especially within the area we are working with. I dont want one of them to wash their hands of us for doing this. Any input will be helpful.

Thank you for your attention.

This is about you...This is your future...obviously 1 of the 2 will lose....but that happens a lot and it has happened to them before...

Some salespersons trade on personal qualitities that make us like them as people...actually this is usually an act and they will not be much of a friend after they cash their commission check...They know that people in general (especially good people)..do not like to hurt nice folks feelings....this is part of the sale..

Keep it professional...make it clear you are looking for what is best for you...that you will be mindful of both the short term and the long term...tell them you will be buying what is the best for you...

Thank you for your reply. It truely did help me about feeling better about all of it. I felt like I was being dishonest but now realize that its only my bussiness what I do with my personal dealings as I am not hurting anyone.
As you said, certain salespersons try to conform to what they think the buyer will find attractive and THAT I can not stand. Recently I had to remind one man (sales) that I am not looking for a friend but a reliable source and I had no interest in him because I found his qualities to be very unstable and unerving in the respect that he was dishonest about the person he truely is.
I feel like holding a sign everytime I have to deal with theses people that says " Just sale me a home and back me up....PLEASE"
That is the sum of it all.
