Question about my Realtor

[XBoxBoy]

Enough waffling around. Sobmaz… you got screwed. Plain and simple.

Okay, maybe there’s an explanation. Maybe there’s something you don’t know. If I were you, this is what I’d do. Call my realtor and tell him/her I want a meeting. At the meeting, I wouldn’t pull punches. I’d lay it on the line. “It was your listing, I’m your client, how come I wasn’t the first person in that house taking a look and writing an offer?” If there isn’t a damned good explanation, I’d be getting another realtor.

It’s interesting that this thread turned into, “why do you need a realtor?” Well the answer to that is the realtor is “supposed” to be connected and plugged into the market. The realtor is “supposed” to be there to help you find good properties and be one of the first to get a look at them. And the realtor is “supposed” to be looking out for your interests. Sounds to me your realtor doesn’t see it that way. Fair enough, but sounds to me it’s time for you to get a new realtor.

Are you an agent?

I am a solid buyer and would be paying mostly cash, if not all.

That is why I have got to wonder if that is the reason. I am such a solid buyer in fact that she knows someday she will get 3% (or 5 or 6%) from a sale so why waste me on a deal that brings 1%? It is my understanding that short sales only bring 1%.

I have been really loyal to this agent and intend to remain so but not if I feel like she is doing me wrong and that is what I am trying to get to the bottom of.

Thanks

I dont know about all that. That is why I asked about why the appt was 4 days in the future. Her first priority on that house was to represent the seller, not you. Now it would have been nice to do both, but she had a contract with them, and an understanding with you. Which one do you think she should represent first?

Say a day later some guy calls, says he wants to see it on the spot, and then writes an offer then and there. WHat is she suppose to do? Say, “Sorry, I have other people coming in the next couple of days and I want them to get the house, so I am gonna hold your offer?”

Sucks for you. I understand your frustration. Nice houses at good prices are rare gems right now.

Yep, that is what I am thinking and that is why I posted. I have pretty much decided to dump the agent but thought I would post here and see if someone could tell me why I was wrong.

This Agent has spent a lot of time on me so that is why I feel loyal but I am not a pushover.
