The representatives were very slow moving, unmotivated and unknowledgeable.

I'll give an example to show where the market was 10 months ago when I wrote the original post to where it is now:I ended up coming in as a JV partner earlier this year with a client I represented in buying a fixer upper in late 2018 in North Apopka.

I am a new home sales representative for a builder. 

We also spoke a mortgage representative from a bank who told us that we would probably need a cosigner and neither of us have parents or relatives willing to take on that liability.

@Shannon Phoenix, maybe the buyer is looking to be represented and she is reaching out for the buyer?   

That's hammered in pretty hard in classes and continuing ed.We do get training in lead paint, but representing anything beyond what a seller tells us gets us into dangerous territory liability-wise.I always tell buyers of pre-1978 homes about lead paint and what the implications are. 

You could check out those sites and talk to a representative to double check and see if they would be a good fit for you. 

The quality of the leads may be low as as only some of them represent genuine interest in your property.

Someone representing you should have asked about a credit for that July to Sept period.The new owner probably gets a deal because they can apply for exemptions and appeal the increased assessment that took effect in 2017.

I represent a lot of cash buyers and, after a painful learning cycle, they have come to realize that cash does not equate to a price discount.
