How do houses ever get sold!

The selling agent for the property we are buying is absolutly terrible..!!! We have practically missed every date because he is not getting his crap done. He doesnt use email, just fax, the seller now lives in texas so every time he needs to talk to her it takes days to get back to us. there is trash all in the house that is supposed to be cleared before we sign... its not. and.....

WHO DOESNT USE EMAIL!

now there is a good possibility closing will be delayed tomorrow for an entire day... which means more time off work... :smash::smash::smash:

Could be Worse...could be a Rhody Agent........Rumor has it they are Grouchy as hell and Drop their Draws without warning..:hee:

Don,t judge all by one piece of S #$%^&* :rocketem:

sorry to generalize clammer.... when you see what percent the agents are getting you just expect more.
to be fare.
our agent has been great

I'm closing on a house Wednesday that I had Clammer as my agent.
He has taken great care in making certain all the "i"s are dotted and the "t"s are crossed. He did a GREAT job!!!!

glad to hear it

I've had some great ones and some that are oxygen theives...

Good ones are worth their weight in Platinum.....

THANKS PAUL;;;

Come on..We're just razzin' ya....:poke:

My friend is trying to close on a house and the agent, who handled her previous closing, is being so rude and unpleasant that she is referring to him as 'The A$$ Hole'. To boot, his numbers are 9k higher than they are supposed to be, he won't explain why and he won't return her calls. Where do people like this come from????

i wonder if its the same agent?
our agent just had a 30 minute vent to my girlfriend on how aggressivly rude this guy is. i feel bad for her that she has to deal with him and i can't believe this guy has a license..

are there rules or annual tests you have to pass to do this type of job.

i agree, a good agent is worth his weight in gold.... ill just leave it at that ;)

If the closing date on the P&S is for tomorrow you'll need an extension for closing. Depending on your circumstances if there is no extension you may want to go to the closing tomorrow and get a time stamped on your P&S. This would proof that you were there and you did not breach your contract.

thats another thing... not to keep harping over this :wavey:

our lawyer (bank lawyer) explained it like if we don't make closing tomorrow err today... it's typically an inconvenience for the seller! and we will have to ask their permission to extend so we don't want to ruffle any feathers until the absolute last possible minute.
But it's their selling agent who's held us up this whole time. When it comes down to it really, it's their fault since they chose this waste.

Don't we have the money....? shouldn't WE be calling the shots?

The bank lawyer should have been be involved heavily prior to this point. When I am representing the bank, I call the shots. I'll try my best to help the brokers and the parties with scheduling and do my best to make the closing as smooth as possible, but some times people have to inconvenienced. The bank lawyer should be all over the seller's broker. Also, is there somebody signing for the seller under Power of Attorney or was all this done by FedEx?

the selling agent is the temp power of attorney according to our lawyer...

isn't that some sort of conflict of interest?

real estate agent is required to give you the Massachusetts "mandatory disclosure statement" upon your first encounter. There box that is checked on this form discloses the relationship you have with the agent. If you did not get or sign this form the agent would be in BIG trouble if you report it to the licensing board.

i shall be looking through my papers.

it would be too bad if i didnt get that form :hidin:

It is done from time to time although frowned upon. Clearly the agent is receiving a financial benefit from the transaction so its always dicey to have him/her signing on behalf of the seller. I always recommend that the seller have an attorney or family member sign under limited power of attorney if possible. Also the bank attorney should carefully review the language in the POA to make sure that it is limited in scope as to this particular closing etc.

If you don't know if you have it then walk in to the real estate office and ask for a copy.
The office is required to keep it on file for about 3 years. If they say come back then either the realtor did not place on file or there was never a "disclosure form".
The state can go to any office any time and view if the disclosures for the last 3 years are on file.
You absolutely have to be given a disclosure statement.
You can ask for it at the closing and if they don't have it then have them fax to the closing.

I can tell you from my experience with Clammer that every disclosure form that is mandated has been presented to us by him. There have been no "gotchas" at all. He has even gone by the house to make sure that certain work stipulated in the Purchase and Sales Agreement has been done to specs.
If anyone on the board needs a Real Estate agent, call Clammer (Mike). He know his stuff and has worked in our best interest since day one. He cares about his clients and it wouldn't make a difference if you were his friend or just a customer. This guy is a professional and does the right thing for the folks he represents.

All Clammer's disclosure forms smell like fish!:rotf2:
