OK, so you found the perfect house, at the right price for you, from a builder no less.
Yes, on this board, as you correctly pointed out, you will receive a bit of a reaming for wanting to buy at still inflated prices. But hey, it’s your money, so go ahead.
Im here to offer a different sort of reaming 🙂
But why, oh why on earth would you ever use your hard earned, won, found, or inherited 34% down on some whacko broker, realtor or even builder. Do you think the builder will refuse to sell to you if you dont close in your golden 8 days?? Are all the hotels full, storage facilities closed, and you have a bet with a bookie for a million bucks that you can finish this deal by the stroke of midnight next Thursday??
(sorry for the tone, because i really dont know the entire story…but from what you’ve offered….ill apologize first because this kind of thing obviously really bothers me. There is no reason to support this broker’s behavior. None.)
(Ok, that said, now continuing the rant) (ahem…)
What the hell are you thinking!!??!! Are you the guy who buys a car when he was only out shopping but couldnt pass up that great deal from the sales guy?? Do you send your bank account number to Nigerians who send you emails?? Are you the guy who actually believes the envelope that says “You might have already won a million dollars?”
THIS IS A HOUSE !!!! YOUR HOUSE!!!! Not the builders, not the realtors, not the brokers (OK partially the banks) but your HOME !!!! Take a step back man. Deep breath. Do some yoga. This isnt a pack of chicklets from the 7/11. Invite a trusted old college buddy over and drink a bottle of Jack together while watching porn. See a priest, maybe a shrink, maybe both or all of the above.
What loyalty exactly do you have to a broker, salesperson or realtor who is rude, impolite, dishonest, lazy, shady, clandestine, and belittles you and your 34% down. And why are you sticking with the realtor who says you can ‘work it out’. Christ almighty help us!!
Buy your home. That is your choice. But continuing to support poor manners, profanity, rude behavior and sub standard customer service affects us all. Just stop, please. Dont accept it.
It is YOUR money and YOUR debt paying everyone’s commission. Not that you have to be overbearing about that fact, you dont have to jump on tables and scream to be treated better. But you definitely have a say in things that you’re simply not bothering to say.
Just quietly say ‘no, im sorry, that simply wont do. Im not signing, im not going to work it out with her. Period, end of report. We’ll just have to talk about this again when i come back tomorrow, and she isnt here. Bye.’
When they pressure you with “Well maybe it was a bad day for her” or “please understand” Just respond: “Was I not clear?” “Do you really think i deserve to be treated this way?” “Are you endorsing this behavior?” “No” “No” “No” and “No” Just walk, dont run, away. Camly. But go. Dont stay. Dont chit chat. Dont dig an apologetic hole for yourself. Her behavior is U N A C C E P T A B L E !!!!
The builder, and the realtor WILL be there tomorrow, and she wont be. And if you quietly say: ‘I need this deal done in (a reasonable) “x” number of days or im not doing it’ They WILL.
They know their business as the provider.
Start understanding your position as the customer.
