I just need a Broomfield real estate agent
My new client doesn’t know squat about real estate. All she knew was that she needed a
The sharks must have smelled blood when I contacted my first real estate agent. This guy was a complete nightmare. Once he’d established that I knew nothing of how the typical transaction worked he made sure that I understood that it was normal for the client drive to the agent’s house to deliver paperwork, sign documents, and plan our outings.
This knucklehead’s dog bit me a couple of times (just scratches, but still…) and he tried to blame me for “looking scared”.
This gem actually called me his “no balls client” once while we were looking at homes in a particularly nasty neighborhood. I expressed my reluctance to purchase a fixer in this area and he (jokingly) referred to me as his (see above) client.
He took a two-week vacation one week before my closing and didn’t tell me.
He once called me to complain about his “high-maintenance first time buyer” who was driving him crazy. The problem was that he thought he’d dialed the mortgage broker’s number when he’d mistakenly dialed mine, so he was complaining to me about me.
I reached my breaking point and demanded that another agent at his offic work with me, so he quickly referenced our contract and said that if I wanted to buy a house within the next six months, then it would have to be with him.
There is a happy ending (how Hollywood!) because the Realtor whom he sent to attend the closing while he was on vacation ending up becoming a good friend of mine and is one of the reasons I got into real estate in the first place.
My nightmare experience as a first time home buyer continues to inspire me to take extra good care of the folks who have no clue about how real estate works. Even if they don’t list or buy with me I always try to arm them with a little knowledge so they’ll never be treated the way I was.
