Fiduciary Relationships in Real Estate Selling Agents & Buyers Agents

Great news as a listing agent a cooperating agent and I closed a transaction  . Her paperwork was a little sloppy but the terms were wonderful and so was the price  for my seller .  There were some documents missing . When I called her and asked for the paperwork she had the buyer call me directly

  My seller being the very sharp lady she is was on Google. She knew so much about the buyer even what church he went too . The buyer promised to email me the missing documents he was in the car on the way home from work . I would have them within the hour or two depending on traffic as it was rush hour . My sellers could hear the buyer  and were good with his answer . He would call me when he got home and then scan and email them directly to me .  The sellers signed his agreement  and I told them I would text them when I had the missing documents .

The buyer was good to his word and a few hours later called me at home with all the signed paperwork . I congratulated him as in Pennsylvania it is offer and acceptance . He was so excited . He explained to me how many properties he had lost . This one he did not want to lose as it was just what he wanted . We talked for a little longer I wished him the best of luck and he could not thank me enough . I called his agent and left her a message .  His agent did not return my call  just a text few hours later  where we stand ?  

Shocked just a little that she had not communicated with her buyer I explained we had a signed contract as I explained in my voice mail .There still was some missing information but not on my side on hers .Now I am getting text messages to give the buyers  mortgage company missing information . I was at a closing I told her I was at a closing call the office the girls will give her the information for the mortgage company .

Well now  text messages are getting nasty . Giving me instructions and the email of the buyers mortgage company and telling me to supply the information that she can look up on the Multiple Listing Service or call my office and get from my wonderful support staff 

 Normally would do it in a jiffy but this agent is getting paid to do a job for the buyers .  I work for the sellers .  I feel like I am doing both sides of the transaction . This is simple information . I am not her assistant  . Look it up in the Trend Multiple Listing Service  or call the office . Do not be abusive that is the totally wrong approach to take with me . It is not my responsibility to call your  buyers mortgage company  with simple information  that you can do yourself .

Now if there is a problem we need to work out I am right there on the phone doing whatever needs to be done  to find a solution to our dilemma.

Sellers agents and buyers agents we each have a job to do lets to it and get the job done  and the property to the settlement table
