Jeanne D'Arc was great from a lending standpoint and Doug Mercurio law office in north reading did a great job representing out interests.

The realtor (who represents both parties) is recommending that I sign a mutual release and that the seller reimburse me for $168 for 1/2 of the title cost. 

For that reason, they’ve put in place alternative ways homeowners can pay back the money owed over an extended period of time.Furthermore, the Mortgage Bankers Association released last week - 'The share of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans in forbearance dropped for the 24th week in a row to 3.35%" Of the cumulative forbearance exits for the period from June 1 through November 15, 2020:30.5% represented borrowers who continued to make their monthly payments during their forbearance period.24.0% resulted in a loan deferral/partial claim.16.8% resulted in reinstatements, in which past-due amounts are paid back when exiting forbearance.12.9% represented borrowers who did not make all of their monthly payments and exited forbearance without a loss mitigation plan in place yet.7.1% resulted in loans paid off through either a refinance or by selling the home.6.8% resulted in a loan modification.The remaining 1.9% resulted in repayment plans, short sales, deed-in-lieus or other reasons.

This transaction the agent is representing both sides?

I've neglected developing an attorney relationship thus far (self-represent evictions in JP court, etc.), but it's time to find a good RE attorney.Thank you!

I have a banker that represents two hedge funds.

I represented myself as an agent.

I live in California and need to clarify if I can represent my husband and myself as the buyer's agent in a transaction?

@Ryan Schwartz We are in process of potentially buying a home where we live without an agent and I will represent myself.

If the seller already has an agent, he/she can dual represent you both and take the full commission, which can motivate the agent to get the deal done, but then he/she may not have your best interests in mind.
