What does a broker do and related information

Who says he is?

You know they are no longer making 2022 models right. Is he just suppose come up with one out of thin air.

By telling you he has no more leads on 2022 models from any of his sources, your conclusion is he is representing the seller?

Yes I do know that lol. “We are all sold out”

So go do it yourself and compare the prices you’re able to get to and the work that it took to get there. Sometimes brokers will get you to prices you couldn’t get yourself. Sometimes you can beat their prices on your own… it just takes endless hours of your time to do it.

So as long as I’m semi competent, I would be better off negotiating for myself.

I must have hit a nerve 5 people replying at once lol

That’s what I was eluding to in the other thread. If you tell me what your target monthly payment is, I know for sure you should be looking for yourself. You’re going to get more favorable results

If you are a seasoned hackr and have the time to call and negotiate across multiple dealerships, then you should do that. Nothing wrong with that.

We would advise you to get a 2023 EQS580, 2022 inventory is near non-existent and dealers are not giving them away as they were last month.

That is what happens when you have a rather silly take on the situation.

Thanks Clutch! None of my comments are a knock on you. Just trying to understand the complex relations between broker, client, and dealership.

For someone claiming they’re competent, it sure looks like you place a $0 value on your time.

What’s silly about inquiring about this? Obviously a broker is the bridge between the dealership/client so they can’t have both parties best interest in mind.

I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings or knock your profession lol.

my feelings aren’t hurt. i love what i do.

I just think that you could have approached it better. There is the “Off Ramp” or “Ask the Hackrs”. The community would have responded there as well instead of cluttering a thread.

Of course they can.

Dealer wants to sell cars and provides the numbers they will sell the car at. They dont want to deal with many calls for people who are just shopping them and will never come back. Broker does that work for them (effectively a marketing extension)

Client wants a great deal and convenience. If they like the numbers and service the broker is offering, they will hire the broker and pay a flat.

Dealer sells a car with minimal effort
Client gets a good deal with convenience
Broker makes their money and continues a good relationship with client and dealer

In the markets that I’m familiar with, the seller generally pays the buyer’s agent’s commission.

And the commission your buyer’s agent receives is traditionally a percentage of the sale price, so the more you pay for the home the more your agent earns.
