You've seen this happen...A house sits on the market forever, and it doesn't get sold. You see an agent's for sale sign sitting in the yard for months and months. And then, all of a sudden, another one appears. Sometimes, the new agent will get the house sold. But sometimes, no matter how many different agents list the house, it just never sells. You've been watching that house "expire". That is industry-speak for when a house doesn't get sold during the time frame an owner has a listing contract with a particular real estate agent.

Don't they know your price is negotiable? (I mean, you don't want them low-balling you...but if they like the house, they should at least make an offer, right?)

When you first start looking at houses to buy, you're probably looking to find the best house possible...not looking for the best real estate agent possible. It usually begins innocently enough... Maybe you see a house online. So, you reach out to the agent with the click of the button. Or send a quick e-mail. Perhaps even pick up the phone to ask a few questions, or schedule a showing. Next thing you know, you're being sent listings by e-mail, and going out to see houses with that agent.
