Hi
I just wanted to make a comment on real estate practice. I believe my recollection is correct of the particular event. All input is welcomed..
In brief,
1/ i went to a real estate agent to look at property to buy
2/ they sought to 'register' me as a client... what ever that means - this being the beginning of my 'problem'
3/ i then was then TOLD/ informed that if they show me a property (properyty xx) and i then go to ANOTHER real estate agent to check their available properties and this second real estate agent shows me the 'same' property xx and i elect to buy it from the SECOND real estate. I am somehow in breach of some type of agreement i had with the first real estate and i might be liable for having to pay the first real estate some money
Did i hear this correctly, i just ignored most of what she said as soon as i heard " you can not do" ...and "you must etc...." (last time a looked i had no obligations when i was looking to buy something from a sales person). As soon as i hear that $$h!ttt from the mouth of a scum bag real estate agent i just switch off from listening to them.
I've bought and sold over 50 properties in my life and im used to the snaky ways of real estate agents so my first response is to either say to myself and often to them 'go F@#k yourself'. Dont tell me what i can and cant do
Did i hear correctly, is this what some real estates are asking people to do?
I mean their rationale is ; they have put in the 'hard work' to try to sell a property to me, and because i go to another real estate and buy it from them i am somehow obligated to pay the first real estate a fee. Are they crazy?? i can buy property from whom i wish to buy it from, thats my understanding. How successful are they reclaiming money from these circumstances. id assume not very
I didnt think i had any obligations to anyone; Is this practice legal?What are your experiences
