The realtor for the people who sold our house to us said if there's a deal where the other side is Chinese, she'll simply not get involved. They can't be trusted. ... you object, they throw some politically correct bullshit in your face and call you a racist.
so basically, this realtor doesn't like being called racist because she won't deal with Chinese people? Does this seem funny to anyone else?
How can a realtor who refuses to deal with Chinese people be successful in the Bay Area? That's a lot of the market.

I don't think she gives a shit what you call her. She's been in the business for so long that I don't think it would affect her either way.

Long story short, I've been in the market over 8 years, sitting on the sidelines, being patient. Found a "dream" house, 3/2 1700sqft, nothing fancy, but i liked the layout and the yard and it had a sunroom. Comps would place it somewhere in the low $600k's. Asking was approx 20% above comps.
Mostly because it seemed like the perfect house and I'm so tired of house searching, especially with the artificially low inventory, we got an approved letter from our mortgage broker, waived our loan contingencies and offer FULL Asking the day after the first open house. We gave them 1 day to respond with clear instructions that we will not be resubmitting an offer as I don't want to play BS bidding wars/games.
The sellers agent couldn't even be bothered to even respond to the offer. Words cannot describe how much disdain I have for these worthless and unprofessional used car salesmen.
However if they're that confident it'll go over, then I'm 100% certain that this spring/summer is going to be another bubble.
Good luck to those buying!
