I did have a experience that the agent brought me to view the house, end up finding the owner is my friend
Then the agent did call me in the next few days if I am still interested. I think is because he worried I secretly deal with owner and want to ignore him
But I think if you are recommended by agent, the owner will want you to go through with agent lah.. it is common understanding and don’t try break the “rules”. Don’t try make thing looks ugly is what I would like to say here
