Foist off, :tup: To putting that $11k per year into Your pocket instead of simply burnging it.
As far as a buyer’s agent is concerned, I highly recommend Todd Nibbe with Polis Realty.
Polis, greek place name. Not Polish.
Todd’s a great agent, good with research, and on point with the fiduciary side as well.
Of course, recommending a realtor is kind of like recommending a barber…

edit - Not to sell You anything, but for reference, as a 1st time home buyer You will be eligible for ALOT of Lender independant programs. Not just the usual.
e.g.- M&T Bank has a “Get Started” program. 1% down, $750 fee (ONLY fee), 5.605% rate on the 30 year monthly. 5.550% on the biweekly.
