Response from Uma Sogani on 5/13/2025

Hello Munish, receiving a note like this is never pleasant, especially when one has acted with professionalism and diligence. Rather than going into generalities, I will focus on the specifics. I represented you as a buyer’s agent for two properties, and in both cases, the sellers accepted higher offers than ours. Property #1 (offer date: March 20, 2024) – Sold for $99,000 more than our offer. Property #2 (offer date: July 25, 2024) – Sold for $19,000 more than our offer. As you can see, in both instances, our offers were lower than the ones ultimately chosen by the sellers. Regarding your allegation that I negotiated a commission, that question does not arise. The last time I represented you was in July 2024, before the NAR rule changes of August 17, 2024. At that time, buyer’s agent commissions were explicitly set by sellers in the listing and were non-negotiable. I hope this clarifies any concerns you may have had. Wishing you all the very best.
