I feel like a good agent is valuable on the sell side, on the buyers side they do almost nothing especially in markets this hot. Zillow and Redfin literally do 90% of what used to be the buyers agents job.

also if youre going to ny you'll be using the regular subways anyway, avoid the metrocard and sign up for the new tap instead

One time I rode to Ronkonkoma on LIRR with a shady Russian guy to buy a flatbed tow truck circa 1999

Even worse than this, when I was shopping earlier this year I was finding listings on Zillow/Redfin a day or so before they popped in my agent's system.

My agent had an online portal set up for my price/geographic/structure criteria. There was a one-day aggregation period on what was published through the portal, which is a material difference in this asinine market.

5 days after closing in ok and wife got laid off with a bunch of other people.

That last part reads like a mobile phone auto correct. Doesn't make sense.

That was me in 2008, my son was born at 10am, realitor called at noon to say we closed (she delivered the keys to us in the hospital even), and less than a week later me and 300 other people got laid off. It was a really hard couple of years, but you can get through it.
