Realtor Woes We thought we were getting a good deal. Houses were selling like hot cakes. The previous two houses we made offers on, got out bid. Our realtor suggested we bid 10k over asking price and in doing so, we won (though it seems we were the only bidders). We bought the house for $610k, and with our realtor having a commission in hand, she offered to sell our other houses we moved from at a discount. It was a great idea, or so we thought. Looking back now and seeing that combined the two houses sat a total of 400 days and not only cost us any savings we had, but also caused us to incur a mountain of credit card debt and my now ex to lose her retirement trying to manage the higher payments and vacant houses on which we had to make mortgage payment and utility payments. There were also the costs of the cleanup, painting, flooring and such. They sat and sat and sat. Not selling we rented, and the many unpleasant years of being forced to be a landlord and repair man. So, fast forward to the present, my fiancee and I break up (too much stress, differences, and the mountain of debt we both incurred not being able to sell the houses). I now live in an apt, disgusted with the idea of having to maintain any more homes then the ones I have and don????t live in. Time to tell the House that started this all 9 years ago. So now this same realtor feels bad and offers to sell the house she sold us with the same commission she had offered for the other houses that didn????t sell. This time, we are bound and determined not to allow them to sit, but you know what? It's sat about 4 ?? month now -- 2 months with her, and 3 with the agent she transferred it to when she moved out of the area to FL. A house we can????t even get what we paid for it 9 years ago, despite 50k in upgrades! I house we bought a full 3 years before the bubble burst. So, she????s 0 for 3 selling our 3 houses, and well over 450 combined days on the market. But I was promised a deal, and damn if I was not going to get it. Yes what an idiot am I. I probably got 1% worth of effort from my realtor Tanya Sable of RE/MAX Allegiance. The sweetest person, but that does not pay my bills and restore what little wealth I had ???
