Not sure what you real question is.......

 

Just be honest with your realtor about what you are looking for....what are deal enders....honesty about your budget....etc

 

 

Now, if you are trying to determine if the realtor is the right one to hire, then I would ask about how they will work for you....what areas of the city do they specialize in (make sure you get a realtor that sell a lot in the areas that you are interested in....not just the city, but the areas of the city).  You will spend a lot of time with your realtor looking at houses and negotiating.....so you need to make sure that your personalities mesh.

Maybe one had too many experiences buying a car and not wanting to give away too much information. We have a price range, we already have a liquid down payment that's about a fifth of our budget. We don't want to get too much of a loan in case our income changes. Should income or down payment be mentioned? Or just set a ceiling price? What lenders should we see? What are the guidelines for income to debt ratio? How do they feel about student loan debt? What interest rate should we look for? Should I use my VA loan? The fiance is a W2 and by the time we sign I'll be self employed. Part of this purchase would be moving my consulting business from the offIce I'm leasing now to a separate structure on the land. We're looking at 100+ acre properties. Because my business will be there should that effect how long our loan is?

I was a realtor (still licensed not practicing at the moment)

Just be upfront and honest. We are asking you to hire us, not the other way around. You are the boss, we are just the housing experts and negotiators.

We are just a guide on your quest, making it as easy as possible for you and making sure you avoid pitfalls.

Of course you use your VA loan!

majority of America cannot afford dropping 20% on a house so use that benefit. You can also use it To your advantage against other potential buyers on the same house. save your cash for the move or furniture.

Btw... how's the real estate market in Denver? How much does a 3br, 2b go for?

screw you...I'm not giving you any of my great advice on this...hope there's dead people in your new place!

I'm sure it's good advice but you'd have to give me 30% more advice to equal American advice. I was just looking out for your fingers.

I have no idea about Denver. I'm looking north. I'm more about the land than the house itself. We found one 3 bed 2 bath with 180 acres for 315

Give the realtor a range, give them things that you absolutely don't want so they don't waste any time. Tell them what's important to you as well. Also, make sure you tell them what you'd be willing to sacrifice for another thing, for an example more land for less bedrooms or a basement or a less land for a more updated house, less distance to the city for a nicer house or vise versa. Just examples...the more information, and flexibility in the right areas, the less time will be wasted. I hate it when people waste my time and I've dealt with a few that will try to go that route like brining you in an area you said you did not want...also make sure and do as much research as your realtor is so you'll have the right questions when you need to.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      He had games where he was a top 10 QB that week, vs Saints, Falcons, Eagles, Chiefs, Bucs.  Amazing performances that I think show what he can do consistently.

      We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.

      I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.
