In South Dakota, you came across as being friendly, intelligent, thoughtful. Here, you have come across as being somewhat of a combative goober. We have helped many people find the answers they were looking for. But we aren’t obligated to donate our time to anybody.

rya asked good questions. NDak, while blunt, is right. You’re being defensive. Relax. You can learn a lot here if you’re willing.

To answer your first question, you need to find a location first. Decide where you want to be. Then look at some real estate websites to see if there’s anything in your price range. Then contact a realtor who lives in that area. The last thing you want to do is contact a realtor in Cheyenne and inquire about a house in Cody. That’s about a 6 hour drive away.

Thank you GoshWyo, I appreciate you being friendly and helpful!

All I'm going to say is people like you OP have the realtors laughing all the way to the bank. Like Jody said, do your due diligence

I've never seen so many rude and egoistic individuals in one place as I have seen here!
I feel sorry for you, having to exist in your old age, with such misery and darkness in your lives!
Don't bother to continue to insult me, I will not be returning here ever again!!

basically if there a pumping , , septic, roof, siding, soil, problem and your Agent doesn't tell you there nothing you can do in Wyoming against the restate agent. They usually give you a list of how stuff is but it carry's no weight. It easier to do your own due diligence, there lot of post on this forum that will tell you the same thing....Sun sprit has lot of post about restate agents, due diligence and Wyoming law...

I've never bought a home, let alone, buying a home while living in another state prior to moving.

Should I first narrow down location before finding an agent, or find an agent to help me find best location within my budget?

Thanks.

Real estate agents are not your friends. Their job is to reduce their agency's inventory. If you are coming from out-of-state and aren't prepared, they will sell you a house at the highest price and it will be their most difficult house to sell (meaning it has problems which locals will avoid).

I think he must have misunderstood your post.

That’s all I have.

We had a place about a mile from us but off same two track road go up for sale couple months ago. We ran into realtor while taking a pleasant ride on the geldings. We were nice to the realtor and told her a few different things about the area. She wasn't sure where the easement to the property was but guessed(WRONGLY) about an old road another 1/2 mile torward our cabin. Damn bi@ch came in and SPRAY PAINTED huge dots on two trees 100 yards apart where she guessed the easement was. There were potential buyers driving all over the dang forest. We knew the easement wasn't on that old road so I put several downed trees blocking buyers access. Land sold in three days for full asking price! Weve had to look at those damn dots for a couple months now. Really pi$$es us off! Were remote and enjoy the beauty of the forest! Our distant neighbor owns adjacent to the land that she sold, the buyer kept driving on his property to access the land. Our neighbor told the realtor multiple times prior to sale where the easement was. Realtor kept telling him lies . So neighbor put up no trespassing signs. The buyer actually tore the new no trespassing signs off the trees. New buyer has South Dakota plates. Don't think much of the realtor or the new buyer!!
