Real Estate Drama

So... I had no clue that after not being able to buy a house the drama would get worse.

 

First let me outline a few things. The purchase would have been a dual agency, meaning both the listing and my agent are in the same office. The day I did the contract the listing agent showed up in sweats and smelled like a bar. She said she was at a soccer game and it must have been some game. Any how... after all was said and done she took almost a month to get a response from the seller on my contract. We also had an issue with getting the condo project FHA approved. All was taken care of.

 

I lost my financing due to some issue with my income since I have unpaid medical leave. I tried several different avenues to get financing and they were all a bust. I finally told my agent to pull the deal. She emailed me back and said she went to the listing agent and told them what the final approval amount was and see if the sellers would take it.

 

Fast forward to now where the drama comes out. I saw the condo re-listed and emailed my agent and told her. She was surprised as she was waiting to hear from the listing agent. I also told her that I do not appreciate that in the listing it says already inspected and appraised for higher amount than asking (actually is was appraised for the asking price). I told her that if the listing agent wants to use MY INSPECTION and MY APPRAISAL she can pay me the money I spent. I haven't really gotten an answer. The one thing my agent did say was that I still have a contract since neither the sellers or myself signed the contract release. The only thing I can think of is that my agent is talking with their broker.

Since both the listing agent and the selling agent work from the same office, I would have expected a little better communication.   Perhaps if when all is said and done and if this doesn't go through (which is looking fairly grim), you should get yourself a different agent and do BBB check on the realty agents in your area before deciding on one.   

 

In any case it still isn't the end of the world.  Save your money and hopefully you will come across  something just as good or better in the future.  Hang in there!

I was hoping things would work out too. I guess it wasn't meant to be. I plan on looking again in the fall. Maybe I will get the job I am interviewing for which will bump up my pay and I also need to hold on to my closing cost money and not spend it....
