The house sold by a low-tech agent.

When I purchased my first home in 2011, I used an agent my parents referred to me. They had not worked directly with this agent, but they knew he had a reputation for knowing his way around distressed properties in Colorado. Being a first-time homebuyer with a commission-only job and a minuscule down payment, “distressed” was going to be all I could afford.
