Last week I was ranting about an agent who I submitted an offer to. I went days without know anything. I would call everyday and still no word or no answer.

I headed to Daytona Beach this weekend for vacation time with this file in hand. I called him from the house, from the beach and so on. Left messages and everything. Well finally I was able to get him this morning. And it turns out that after a week of no news we find out that we got a signed contract from the sellers.

Now we have to wait on the bank. This agent must have thought I was one big pain in the butt, but I was determine to find out where we stood. Now my buyers are happy I didn't let it go!!

Determination does pay off!! Are you looking for a home? Let me know, I don't give up!

OK Now I'm Upset!

Last week I spent my days with several buyers. Out of the three I was with two put in offers. Both homes had been on the market for awhile with no offers.

Both placed offers and when I was sending them I asked if there were any submitted already. Both said no, perfect. Now both were sent.

I called on one and he tells me that another offer came through and they went with the other offer before my buyers even had a chance to counter. Great, back to the drawing board with them.

Second home follow up call, was put in yesterday. He tells me he has my offer but believes that there are two more waiting at the office, he has not submitted ours yet. He was to go in this morning to check. I called just now and he tells me that yes one other offer was submitted and that the house has another showing later today with another possible offer.

Wait, you haven't submitted my offer yet? No, because I am waiting on todays showing to see what happens and I will meet with the sellers tonight. So you are telling me that you are not going to submit our offer because of the chance that another is coming in? Yup, that's the plan.  Its like he is waiting for a bidding war.

See I don't think its right for agents to do this. Aren't we suppose submit offers irregardless whether or not we have other showings happening? We had a solid offer, great VA loan and can close is less than 30 days. How much better can you get?

It seems that we are back in 2004 where muliple offers are here and waiting.

WOW! In a market like this, one would think the listing agent would at least submit the offer to the Sellers for consideration, they could always wait to respond. I don't like to keep my Sellers waiting at all, particularly waiting on a "what if" "maybe" kind of offer that may come in later from a showing.  Hope it all works out for you!

This is what I refer to as an MLS auction.  The sellers agent is pushing the envelope ethics wise IMO but from the buyer agents end its very difficult to prove a violation.  Perhaps a call to his broker is in order if you feel the need.

John That is one of the reasons I haven't gone to the broker, it becomes he said she said!

That totally whomps... Things are tough enough as it is. I can't wait to present offers to my sellers. I let them decide what to do with them. I don't ever wait. I even wake them up if I have to (LOL).

I have an offer I put into a builder and am huffing and puffing because I specifically told him the customer is using multiple brokers and he will walk to the next home if we do not answer him promptly. Guess who waited all day and didn't get an answer? The guy wants to put half down. How can someone keep a buyer like that waiting for three days? Seriously!

So here I am, stuck in my office, waiting for a call back... We don't close until 8PM. I hope he calls me before then...

I am seeing the same thing here too. It can be so frustrating especially when pay days are not what they used to be-Dinah Lee

Dinah, I know exactly what you mean. There are days when it doesn't seem like I'm working because I'm having so much fun and then there are days seven Realtors are all squabbling over the same client from hell who lets us know he has several people taking him around and wont pick one until he finds the right house... Talk about procuring cause issues...

Wow...That is truly amazing. So let me get this straight, after finding a qualified buyer, finding a house that they want to make a bid on the listing agent is playing games.

Tell the realtor that it is not 2004 anymore. How do you handle situations like this where the listing agent is being so uncooperative?

Thanks,

Brian B.

Jeannette - all I can say is WOW!, Sounds like this agent is doing a bit of gaming with the system. In Georgia we are required to submit all offers in a timely manner (well try to define that). But, if this person is trying to drive offers up, he is doing it the wrong way.
