Why does a listing agent who assured me she had done many short sales before lie?
As we headed into the process it was evident the listing agent did not know what she was doing. Not only did she fail to be conscientious, her communications were sloppy with me so I can imagine how they were with the lender. I was constantly after HER to check, check, double check and check again with the lender on new developments. On top of this she was overhwelmed with being the major caretaker of her mother, and other times she was in a hospital with her sister who was an addict and another time she was out West admitting her sister into a addiction recovery center. Now you tell me how in the world would a professional real estate agent ever be able to offer her client the best service-especially a short sale. I finally had to get her broker involved. Enough, was enough, and to date because of her mistakes we are still waiting to go to settlement. Thank God, my buyers are very understanding and patient. I recently got an email from her thanking me for all my help and she admitted that I was the driving force to get this short sale to closing. I don't mind helping, and I did sympathize with her family setbacks, but an agent needs to realize when they need help!
Please, please, please Agents- if you are experiencing major life events in your life, please ask for help or alert your broker. This is not fair to everybody involved in a real estate transaction.
