It still sounds like a possible deal but I would count on splitting 30kThere isn't many ways around paying a buyer's agent their 3% unless of course, your wife was representing the buyer as well.

Maybe have a personal card that represent me as the property manager not the owner.  

Also we only learned recently through this process that the agent and broker were representing both FNMA and us.   

The agent usually must disclose to you in advance who they represent.  

It is likely that the representative was explaining that the loan is due within 60 days of separation from your employer. 

With that said, this is not and will  never be the typical way that MACK does business and is not representative of our typical investor's experiences.   

I represent a handful of investors/realtors, helping to structure deals, partnership agreements, deeds, etc.  

Who would represent the association?

The main focus of an agent is to show properties to prospective buyers and list and market and promote a property if they are representing the seller.

The landlords were represented by lawyers and the cases seemed to have been straightforward.
