This post came to me from the ethics forum I moderate at www.agentsonline.net. It is a classic example of why every buyer and seller of residential real estate should have an exclusive agent.
I'm a first time home buyer, however, things didn't go too well. I found a home and worked with a realtor who represents both sides [the buyer and seller]. He first seemed very sincere and he also said [he would] help me out in different aspects and watch everything for me throughout the process since I'm a first time buyer; so, I really trusted him at the beginning.
However, at the inspection point, problems were pointed out by the inspector, but all the realtor did-was [try] to persuade me not to listen to the inspector, and claim inspectors just like to make points [about the house] and how un-true the things pointed out by the inspector [were]. This is just one of the points that I feel [where] I wasn't being treated fairly, there are different issues throughout the process that I felt the same way, but I didn't really say anything because I just want to complete the deal. As a response of the inspection, the seller was not willing to fix or compensate anything including the leaking issues. So, I decided to cancel the contract. But the realtor, instead of sending me my deposit check back as requested, he deposited it, and claimed we have breached the contract and cannot release the money to us.
I really don't understand what's his intention [are]. I know he was angry that I didn't buy the unit as he kept insisting to me that it's the best price, and he even said he can prove it.
