Question about my Realtor

[sobmaz]

[quote=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.

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.

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

I think that sobmaz was wondering why the agent didn’t call her to see if she wanted to put in an offer. That’s the least the agent could have done for a loyal customer. Then the ball would have been in sobmaz’s court.

Getting sobmaz involved in the offer would also have better represented the interests of the seller who might have gotten a better price, had sobmaz’ bid been higher.

I’m thinking that, for some reason, the agent (who was also the listing agent) wanted to sell the house to the other party. Why? we don’t know.

I agree with xbox. The agent screwed both the seller and sobmaz at the same time.

Sounds a bit funky to me too. The commission on short sale should be at least 5%. Sometimes the lender will lower it if same agent represents both sides but all she needed to do was to have a colleague represent you to ensure full commission paid. Then she could throw the colleague a small bone for their time and each aprty would have separate representation which is better any way.

I think you should probably have that talk with your agent. I wouldnt be accusitory but I would want to know what happened. There could be a perfectly good reason. For her sake there better be…

Maybe the buyer was a good friend or relative of the agent?
