probably not going to put it in github, but i registered with be the match on 11.02.2010. good luck.

if you have this problem with your child, an app is not the solution. you have serious discipline problems.

and the most important truth in all of this.... the agent/brokers make peanuts compared to the mortgage companies.

realtor's often have 3 days to 'pocket' a listing before they have to put it in the mls. these 'pocketed' listings can be privately shared and thats where realtors keep a little advantage.

its only _locked_ in if you sign a contract with a realtor (which can actually be negotiated, shop around). if you do a 'for sale by owner' you have no such obligation. even if the other party tries to use an agent. the agent will often 'ask' if you offer a 3% buyers commission, which is, totally up to you. even that is negotiable at that point. the downside is, they have less motivation for showing your house. but both times that i did, i hired a real estate lawyer to get the contracts and such, but handled the 'showing' and negotiations myself. in a hot market, a good agent can earn their % in patience and marketing.
