The listing agent WAS MY AGENT! Please read original post.
The 4 day thing was when we were both available. Our standard relationship is, if there is a need to see the place ASAP we will drop what we are doing and go look at it. Since SHE WAS THE LISTING AGENT, past history indicates had she known of a pending offer she would have called to tell me. She did it many times before on other listing that were not hers so it was an unspoken given.
Let me ask again…………THE SITUATION…… My agent had a short sale that I wanted to see. We made an appointment to see it 4 days after I called her. She said there were no offers as SHE WAS THE LISTING AGENT, she should know.
My question was basically, since SHE WAS THE LISTING AGENT, shouldn’t she have called me and said, “we have a pending offer we better get you in there to look at it ASAP” IF SHE WAS A GOOD AGENT? Especially since she has called me in the past and said, “Sobmaz, I found out there is an offer so we probably want to see it right away”.
Which then brings motive. Why would she treat this situation differently? What I am getting at is did she put her concern for commission in front of my desire for the best deal? Short sale commissions are much much smaller.
Now please, don’t assume I am so stupid to know that an agent does not always put their interests ahead their clients but usually it is more subtle. This seems to be blatant. ( Or am I wrong?)
I am asking nothing else. I know on any house I can call the listing agent directly, I have done it many times but MY AGENT WAS THE LISTING AGENT. I know I could represent my self but an Agent still has to let me into the house. An agent still has to be dealt with…….BUT….I am not asking those questions.
Forgive me if I sound a little perturbed but I was basically asking a simple question about the ethics of my Realtor and the answers I get were more like how stupid I am for not representing myself and only dealing with the listing agent and blah blah.
