Hi Talk Irvine- This post is long overdue. I just want to thank Talk Irvine for being such a valuable community and providing link to agents who do rebates. When I posted, my first message (mid 2020) about working with agents who do rebates, I was contacted by several agents, and a couple I...

I want to put an offer on a resale home in great parks and hoping to work with an agent who is willing to rebate me a decent amount of Buyer?s agent?s commission as I envision very little work for the agent. If any of you who are agents here are willing to support me in this effort, kindly send...

Thanks for additional inputs in for the comparison. I have updated the original post. That way anyone looking at this thread does not have to read all the posts and can quickly get the summary.

Is there any way to track unsold inventory and get a feel for it if it is on low end?

Do new home not come with appliances, lighting?
