Yea I signed up already.

Matthews IVWhile there may be some benefit to have someone that's got a local presence, your tax strategies are going to be determined by your overall tax profile.  

I found one that had an eviction notice on the door and a for sale sign in the yard but no listing agent only a number. 

The listing agent is also saying that the seller already signed an agreement to pay 6% in commission fees no matter what.I was under the impression if I made an offer without a buyers agent it would essentially strengthen my offer by 3%.Anyone familiar with Washington state real estate law that would have an answer?

Maybe just go check out the house, speak with the owner and see if you can come to a verbal agreement then keep checking in and sign the paperwork when it gets closer to completion.

Since I've been uning this for the past couple of years I have never put up a sign or ad or anything.

The sellers attorney recommended she not sign the contract until it was resolved, unless there was a provision that the seller could cancel the contract if a lien was found.

Before I sign the contract with the new apartment, the office of the new apartment lied to me about the floor plan of the new apartment.

I'm not sure that I would sign up for something like this without being confident that I'd be comfortable with this person as a business partner.

Does it make sense for me to draft something and have our attorney review it/ sign off on it, or should I just ask him to write the whole thing?
