Viewed a house without real estate agent, if I want to purchase can I still get a buyers agent?

I found a house listed on realtor.com and went to see it, the owner, who is also the real estate agent, showed me the house (during a realtors open house tour thing) and the next day showed it to my boyfriend. Since I went to see it without a real estate agent, can I no longer bring in a buyers agent to represent me if I want to put an offer in?
Thanks everyone! This whole house buying thing is so confusing!

Where can I find open house listings?

Hi there! I’d like to attend some open houses. I don’t have a real estate agent yet, but I’d like to meet some agents at open houses as well as see (by my myself) local homes for sales. However, there’s nothing listed on the Internet where you can find listings of open houses. Where can I get this information??? I really want to avoid real estate agents for a while.

I don't think my real estate agent is doing enough to sell my house and I want to fire him, what can I do?

I am in a three month contract with my real estate agent at four percent commission for his company and I want to fire him because I don’t think he is doing enough to sell my house. He is always making me excuses that the market is slow but I know my house can sell because my house is beautiful. I’ve already had my house listed with this guy for over a month now and I haven’t even gotten an offer on it. My agent keeps telling me that he has put it on the MLS and realtor.com and sent out flyers for my home and spoken with other agents about it but I don’t think that is enough. He has only done six open houses for my house and it seems like he wants to do them only occassionally now and I want him to keep doing them because I don’t feel he is doing enough to sell my home. What can I do to fire him? I am in a three month contract with him and I am two months away before it expires, but i want to fire him now. what can i do?

How to increase the number of showings of my house?

I know that it’s an odd market. I live in the far NW chicago suburbs. I’ve had my house for sale for about 2 weeks. We have had a total of 4 showings. We are relocating and need to sell it for the move. The house is 6 years old. We are in a nice neighborhood. Many comparable homes in our neighborhood are on the market for ,000 more than we are asking for ours…including our next door neighbor. We had an open house and only one person came to see it and that was a nosey neighbor. What can we or our real estate agent do to drive more people to our home? It’s listed in the MLS. We had an open house. I feel we have priced it to sell in comparison to other homes on the market. We want fair market value…we don’t want to undersell it. I’m not dissapointed that it hasn’t sold yet. I am dissapointed that we haven’t had more visitors. My agent also had a realtor walk through and had 14 realtors come through. No negative feedback from the people that have walked through.
