I have found a foreclosure property with mold . I want to see the property and take photos. I contacted the seller agent. She has a full-time job and can't show me the property at a time that's possible for me. She wants me to contact a real estate agent she is referring me to. If I do that, I will be obligated to use this agent if I pursue the deal, right? What's the downside of this, if any? Don't I have to pay a buyer's agent commission at closing, and and doesn't that affect my bottom line? help

Also, she told me the estimate for the wet basement/mold remediation is only $5K. From my research, the average cost for mold remediation is $30-50K. I felt like she was really low-balling me. Am I right?
