There is a difference between a real estate agent and a Realtor. Anyone who can pass the real estate test can be a real estate agent. A Realtor takes an oath and is a member of a local board as well as the national association.

If you have a complaint against a real estate agent you would need to file it with the licensing department of your state. A Realtor complaint would be filed with the local board. Many times you can contact the Broker and get the issues resolved without ever having to file a complaint.

I'm sorry that some of you have had a bad experience when buying a home but there are few good Realtors left. If you ever want to purchase property in Branson, MO look me up, I will take good care of you!

PS - You are NEVER tied into a contract with an agent. If you do not get along with your agent or feel you are being adequately represented you have the right to submit written notice to the Broker to either terminate your relationship with the firm or have the Broker refer an agent that will be better suited for you.

WE found out yesterday that they lied to us. They got a higher offer and went with that.

I know THAT can't be legal.

It's not. And a whole lotta people can get into trouble if you bring this up. You could call just about any larger Realtor in the area and they will know how to proceed.

AND... they'll be glad to represent you in finding another house

Ok, we made our final trip to AZ before our big move.

We FOUND our home.

Made an offer.... and after dealing with another offer on the same place....(What are the odds in THIS market??), we got it!!

Front of home

Back yard (one section of it!)

Another of the back yard

Kitchen

A little courtyard in the front

We are thrilled with this place! We BOTH liked it. It has a huge lot (1/2 acre). And is in a great location. In fact, there is a Kohls department store just 150-200 feet from our backyard (but it is COMPLETELY silent due to a 12 foot wall and the fact that there is very little traffic to begin with).

God really provided with this one..... It is like nailing a 1/4 acre lot downtown Manhattan!

Congrats RW!

What a spacious backyard!

Well, okay, I have to admit....I'm happy for you, but I couldn't do it. I'm from the green part of Oregon, and like things GREEN....but hey, at least you won't have a lot of upkeep to worry about!
