[quote=drboom][quote=bearishgurl]Was the procuring agent on this short sale (referenced below) your wife’s relative, a different agent (perhaps referred to at the top of this post), or did you represent yourself in the original short-sale transaction?[/quote]
I represented myself, as I have said repeatedly.[/quote]
drboom, no one is accusing anyone here of “unethical business practices.” You’re not even an agent! I now understand almost everything, except these two things:
If this agent, referred to below, didn’t represent you in the failed short-sale transaction, did he represent you in transactions before that? If so, what was the outcome of that representation? i.e. rejected offer(s), failed escrow, etc.
[quote=drboom]Our agent, who did a terrific job on the tasks we needed him for, was completely useless to us for research … because he is a transplant who settled here when he retired from the navy and went into RE in the late 80s. :-)[/quote]
And, when you represented yourself on the failed short-sale transaction, did the listing agent ever offer to give up any of his commission to entice the bank to accept your (short) offer to purchase? After all, wasn’t he/his broker going to be paid 100% of the commission since you were unrepresented and thus they didn’t have to split any with you?
