Just want to make sure I'm not leaving money on the table next year.

At real estate meetings, seminars, workshops, round tables, etc., communicate with professionals.

Come to the table with a plan, and finances worked out to get the best service and agent.

What happens at your closing, if it’s assigned, double closed or traded for a pack of gum, is utterly irrelevant, because the law would already have been broken if that person double closing had at any point prior to the closing “offered to sell” or “ deals in real estate contracts” again what happens at the closing table is irrelevant because by that time the law would have already been violated, by the time someone is at your closing table and double closing a deal, presumably by “offering to sell” the law was already violated prior to them even coming to your closing table You might be right... if VA law actually read the way you claim.

@Alfred Dublin I'm not saying you shouldn't call around, just be aware that no lender can/will really engage with you until there's an actual deal on the table.

This takes risk off the table.  1.
