Participant[quote=briansd1]How about documenting everything and submitting a complaint to the DRE?
http://dre.ca.gov/cons_complaint.html%5B/quote%5D
I think it’s better to report it to the corporate relo company.
Also – if the transaction was not in CA (it’s not clear it was CA) then reporting to CA’s DRE won’t do anything.

ParticipantI purchased my first two homes with agents, and my current home without. So similar experience to sdduuuuude.
Like sdduuude – the non-agent transaction was with someone I knew – in my case it was my father. I knew the house well because it’s the house I grew up in. Since I hadn’t lived in the house for over 20 years, I had my husband (an architect) go over it. Even in a family transaction we negotiated what would be fixed/addressed before COE.
We used a title/escrow company. I think it would be foolish to skip this step.
I know someone who had a similar experience purchasing a SFR in Clairemont from a church member. Title and escrow company were agreed upon, specific terms were put in writing.
If you are looking at inventory on the MLS – I think you’re pretty much locked into having an agent in the process… Since the agents’ fees come from the seller, your best bet is to get a GOOD buyers agent who can find you the right home, help you negotiate the best deal, etc. IMO it only makes sense to go w/out an agent if the home isn’t on the MLS and the terms are pretty straightforward between buyer/seller.
