portereight, It looks like you were served very well.
I feel that using a broker and a realtor are probalby the best options, however, that does not mean that they are perfect options.
Just becuase you had a good experience and benefited from the work that these people did does not mean that they did not have their own agenda. In fact, we know that they had their own agenda - to make money for themselves.
What I was trying to say is that these people are in business to make money. If they are smart (like it seems your broker and realtor were) then they understand the long-term benefit of keeping their customers happy.
That long-term benefit is: more money for them in the long run.
If they are not smart then they do not think of the long-term and their decisions are based on the short-term - how can I make the most money off of this deal.
In both scenarios these people are thinking of themselves. They are not in business becuase they are altruistic, they want to make money.
That being said (and as I said in my last post) if you understand that and take that into account when making your decisions (on which mortgage to choose and which house to buy for what amount) you can benefit from the work of these professionals.
