You make the call...IS that even legal.....

Agent calls to tell me an offer is on the way...from a property he,or his client HAVE NOT even previewed. I was sketchy in the first place. I get to reading the offer and it is a full price offer, more then full price. Buyer asks for an inspection, asks to be able to"reassign " the contract, and that the seller pay a "Finders Fee" to some third party( who I later find out is the originator to the offer) for finding a buyer. They have an inspection period for all "investors" to approve the property. The buyer even went as far as to ask to show the property to potential buyers , before they had clsoed on the deal. (trying to find a renter before the property was purchased) Of course my seller declined , but the buyer came back a second time asking with a definite buyer, but a $5000 fee for finding the buyer. Sounds to good to be true...right?

Turns out that the originator seeks people online and "qualifies them, and /or seller finances in some way. The agent told me he submits like 10 offers a week to sellers to see who bites. I replied that agents don't make that much when they sell a property.

My question was "is this legal"? You make the call...

I'm frustrated as of late with the lack of agents to give, or recieve feedback. I have a few listings and have called agents on more than one occasion to see why their client didn't write an offer. The very thing i would assume they would do in… more

I wanted to address the one stop shop approach. It is my observation that one stops generally offer less "Quality" of servie to the client, because they know business will come through the door. Why should they work hard if the people are just given… more
