    @andyd those are both very nice! I noticed that each listing has less than 20 photos, unlike some American listings on Zillow which have 100+ photos!

      I've noticed this with some expensive places, some only advertising with a handful of photos.
      It's either they really don't need to show everything, and/or a privacy thing.

          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.

                First place is a bit grandiose. The second seems quite liveable.

                    @Daniel Spectacular view but a bit overdone for my taste.

                          @AndyD There are 3 listings, I'm assuming you're referring to the 1st one? Mettingham Castle? I LOVE it!

                            I don't think true Palladian houses could be overdone but to each his own.

                            It's not like we of would afford one.

                              That’s OK.

                              I’m not a real Palladian kinda guy. 😱

                                It's all OK. I used to think liked palaces better than castles. I've changed my mind. Btw, I have an appt with a realtor today. Wish me luck.

                                  We're signing a contract tomorrow. I don't know if I can take occupancy but for the love of all that is holy I hope so. I had to show proof of income and park residency.

                                      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.

                                          Thanks for the explanation.

                                          Everything is in flux here in any case.

                                          We got a 7 day notice to clear the carport or be evicted last month. The drug addled grifter with the mindset of a spoiled 5 year old threw all his stuff all over the carport and back yard yet again.

                                          A second violation in 12 months is an automatic eviction. I spent 3 days doing the work the last time. I will not touch this mess. Nothing in it belongs to me. I am more than sick of his drug addled derangement, sense of entitlement, and chaos.

                                          By rights, we should be receiving an eviction notice any day.

                                          He's violent, he's a bully, and he's a pig.

                                          I'm getting out of this place if it's the last thing I do.
