I had no realtor and went to open houses all summer and fall and found a house we liked the realtor was just helping the selling agent out with the open house and she put in the offer for us. She said good thing it wasn’t my listing. I didn’t even think anything of it she put me on a 7 day contract at 1%. That house fell thru and kept on with open houses then found another and the listing agent was there and said he could not represent us since he is the sellers agent. Weird if you ask me. Most open houses do not have the listing agent it’s usually another agent from the same branch. That’s when we started paying attention to it.
the selling agent not being at the open house is wild to me.
here's some shit about dual agency being allowed in IL.
