Palladium Style Estate
-
And currently on the market in the UK, I love this house:

Seems to have enough space for a piano.

Oh, definitely convert the gym to a music room.

The 1st one: Looks very comfortable for its location. A few things I'm not keen on: The railing of the grand staircase. It makes me expect to see retail shops along the mezzanine, i.e. looks mall-like. And the kitchen is too professional for my tastes. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to live in such a location at certain times of the year!

I saw an ad for an actual Palladian estate. I didn't have a minute then to post the link but it was beautiful beyond imagination. I'll see if I can find it. The real estate agent was 'Leonard's' or something. I'll see if I can find the ad. Truly mesmerizing.

A property you'd really have to love and care for.

That’s OK.
I’m not a real Palladian kinda guy.

Fingers crossed!

My cousin the executer, prosecuting attorney for a federal government agency, about had a panic attack when I told her I moved on it. I don't think she's calmed down completely yet. Her most recent text said the buyer's agent shouldn't be my agent. I said but this is the realtor with the listing, I don't have cash on hand to hire my own agent, this is the first time I've done this, I wouldn't know how to hire my own agent, and it's a newly refurbished mobile home inside and out, for less than 25k, with a recent price reduction of $2.8k with the same agent. I said I bet they just want to clear it off the books. I haven't heard back. I told her I would text her tomorrow. I don't know what the contract says or how it could be amended. We'll see.

Having the same agent for buyer and seller is called dual agency. There's an inherent risk when the same person is representing both the buyer and the seller because what's good for the buyer might not be in the best interests of the seller, and vice versa. If the agent is super honest, dual agency might work out ok, but it is a trickier situation to navigate than having your own buyer's agent to represent your interests exclusively.
Dual agency works differently in different states. At least the details and legal responsibilities do, I believe.
As far as real estate commissions are concerned, at least around here the seller pays the entire real estate commission and the buyer doesn't pay anything. I don't know how universal that is. In the case of dual agency, the agent gets both sides of the commission.
So what's typical around here (and may be completely different for your situation, both the state you live in and the fact that you are buying a mobile home) is that the seller's agent gets 2.5 - 3% of the sale price, and the buyer's agent gets the same. If the selling agent represents both sides they may reduce the total commission and maybe just get 4% for doing the deal. Which of course is still more that the 2.5 - 3% they would have gotten if there were two agents in the transaction.
