I hate your situation. I am sure it feels like to you speaking up is only going to hurt your situation. I truly hope it does not. HOw terrible to have someone tresspass and violate your sense of security and then be told there is nothing that can be done about it.

The complaint should be made against the agent and more importantly the broker who condones unethical and illegal behavor from one of their representatives.

My question is...Where is your Realtor??? Your Realtor needs to call the other Agent's Broker immediately. There are some real creepy, dishonest people out there and unfortunately...some of them are Realtors.

You should be the one filling ...

You should be the one filling out the complaint. It has a lot more weight than another agent.

My agent and the buyer's ...

Tue, 28 Aug 2007 22:40:00 GMT

My agent and the buyer's agent are totally different agencies. My realtor is the owner of a different office, and he's much smaller. I think there are about 6 agents in his office, but it is not a national agency like RE/MAX.

I called my agent and told him I want to file a formal complaint.

He is going to do it. He says he hates the guy. He's always upsetting his clients with lowball offers and ridiculous demands. He just doesn't want there to be any backlash. I really hope there isn't any. We are not in a good market to begin with. I want the turd gone as much as the next person, but not at the expense of never selling my house.

I gave him my neighbor's number. He is calling her for a first hand account of what happened. After today I don't really have any expectations that anyone will act on it. I think if the market were not so bad right now, my complaints would have been acted on. But now that a lot of agents are suffering, anything is justified.

Yeah, I would make the complaint ...

Yeah, I would make the complaint anyway too. There is a witness to the tresspasser. Not to mention a record of calls. Hopefully she still has those calls saved on her cell phone. If the instructions are to confirm before showing....the evidnce speaks for itself.

To suggest she has no resolution to this problem gives RE a bad name. She should pursue all avenues available.

You know what, I wouldn't ...

Tue, 28 Aug 2007 18:20:00 GMT

You know what, I wouldn't care about their answer!, I would file the complaint anyway, if enough people make a complaint against the same agent or office eventually somthing would be done about them! and I would'nt let any agent from that office show my home!

their defense is in capital letters:

"He also asked if I was just COMPLAINING BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE HOUSE. I told him they offered on the house, so I think they did like it, and he said then I was ANGRY BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE THE OFFER. I told him I don't want him in my house again. He said he'll tell him. But after talking to the VP, I feel like that jerk trained the buyer's agent in his shady techniques.>>

what will it be Almay?

oh, sorry.. I missed that....

so the broker runs both your agent AND the buyer's agent who showed it, and wrote the offer...

my mistake (Dad was walking Astro on the "crazy contraption", and I was distracted, sorry)...

straight to the RE board!... although you now know exactly what their "defense" is going to be... don't you?
