Warning, It's a little long, but worth the read.
I wonder what an really be done to this agent who thinks the rules don't apply to him?
I go to one of my listings today and find the door open, lights on and several items missing from the home. Of course I checked my Supra box as soon as I got home. To no surprise at all I have had some unscheduled entry into the home.
The kicker being that, it was an agent who I have specifically told NOT to enter this or any other listing of mine without a scheduled appointment.
He badgered my sellers before they moved about listing with him to the point that the lady was about to call the police on him for stalking. ( no kidding) Repeatedly she told him they had an agent, yet he continued to "show up" on their doorstep insisting he was the best one to sell the home. He even acted as if he didn't know of me when she told him my name -in an effort to get him to stop coming over. I know enough that his angle was to make me seem unimportant in her eyes. It backfired- she asked how long he had been in real estate, when he responded she said" I can't believe you've been in real estate for 5 yrs and don't know Toni!" ( you go girl)
Anyway, I caught him at their house a few weeks after they left- with no appointment- I happen to drop by to check on the house. The back door was unlocked and the lights on. I called him later that night.
I talked to him at length about the fact that I and the seller insisted that he make an appt. before entering the home. That we wanted to know any and all entry into the house. A few weeks later, I found the home open and lights on. Checked the box, nothing there recently ( guess he hadn't updated his key yet) Then today, I go over to meet someone at the house and what a shock that all the stuff my sellers still had in the house was GONE! Completely empty. I checked my box again, and there he was. 2 MORE unscheduled appt's AND he was the last one in the house. ( He was the only one showing in the box for the period of time that the door was left open from last month as well.)
I have had it with him. I called his broker and sent an email to my local board.
In the meantime, I starting calling neighbors to see if anyone saw someone arting things off. Yes, i found out that one of the neighbors told him they were supposed to get a piece of furniture that was left ( and they were supposed too) so he offered to let them in to get it. Yes, you understood correctly. He let someone in MY LISTING, MY SELLERS HOUSE, that he had no knowledge of the furniture agreement to TAKE FURNITURE OUT OF THEIR HOUSE!!!
You know I am wondering where the rest of the stuff went. I'm boiling about this. If this isn't unethical, I don't know what is! Can you believe that?
So, what can really be done to this weasel? Anyone had a similar situation? I want him in hot water with someone other than just me.
