Advice please - Estate agents muck up ?
Ok so here's the problem. Me, my fiance and our 18 month old son are currently living in a privately rented 2 bed house, we have decided to have another baby so will need a bigger house.We went through an estate agents to get this house from start, we was supposed to renew our tenancy is Jan 2012, the estate agents did contact us by letter to ask if we would like to renew and how long for, we sent the letter back saying yes we would like to renew for 2 years. However we contacted the landlord and asked him if he would let us renew without a guarantor, he told us yes but the estate agents wanted it in writing from him. That was the last time we heard from the estate agents and we have not been contacted to go and sign a new contract or even pay the fee for the renewal so technically we are not in a contract right ?We are not legally bound to stay in this house and are within our rights to claim our deposit back in full ?We think we have found a house that we would like to move to and will be contacting our landlord with the news.Im worried that he will get annoyed with us and try to keep our deposit ... where do we stand ?
Question for real estate agents?
We've been working for months with an amazingly helpful realtor. She has shown us a ton of houses and talked us out of several overpriced ones. We only moved to the area last year and knew nothing about the area. We came from a place with much higher real estate prices, so everything seemed like a good deal. She's spent countless hours putting together research. When we had major troubles with our rental property management, she voluntarily stepped in for us. Not once did I feel that she's putting real pressure on us but rather genuinely wanting us to get a good house at a fair price.We were set to buy a custom built home in a development, a transaction that puts more work on her but gives her less commission than some houses she talked us out of. Unfortunately, things unexpectedly went wrong in terms of jobs, and we can no longer buy. We may have to relocate to somewhere my husband can find a job. This realtor deserves something for all she's done. I've referred her two people, but I don't know that many people, as we've only been in the area for a year, and all my co workers already own homes. I've written a glowing review, but so many agents have glowing reviews, and I'm sure most of them are not as extraordinary as her. We'd like to compensate her in some way. If we give her $1000, is she allowed to accept it, and can we be sure that she'll get it all rather than splitting it with her broker? What if it's in the form of gift cards rather than cash? What if it's in the form of a very nice non cash gift? The state is Alabama.Thank you We definitely want to give her something, so answers that it doesn't matter are unhelpful. We also want to make sure she gets it all rather than splitting with her broker.

Landladys getting house valued by two estate agents. Possiable sell? She says she's not going to but it's weir?
Shes saying she just wants to know how much she could get for it but it's like why would you unless you were thinking of selling it? What do you think ?
Is there "conflict of interest" when buyer/sellers agent are from the same company and ......?
My agent and buyers agent are from the same company. In addition to that we just found out that buyer's agent is the uncle of the buyer. I feel both agents are representing buyer and have no one on our side to represent us. Any advice??
Any advice on how to train a call center agent?
I work for a mattress company and we are expanding into other states, I just know a little about a call center and need advice or tips on how to train call center agents. Maybe a step by step learning process. How long should they train before making their first call?
Did my real estate agent commit an ethical violation?
Did my real estate agent commit an ethical violation?We are trying to sell our house. We had someone come to view our home that did not have an agent, so our agent showed them the house. Our agent told us that they requested that she send them comparable houses in the area. I found out that she is now representing them and showing them other houses. The commission that we will have to pay to sell our home is over $10,000. I know that the buyer's agent and the seller's agent split the fee. It appears to me that she has sold us out to pick up a buyer, a clearly easier commission right now. However, she did so by selling us out. If you think about it, If the average income is about $43,000, the average person would have to work 40 hours a week, 5 days a week, for three months to earn that commission. I think that at a minimum, we should be able to expect that for her to EARN that $10,000 she should be doing more than answering the phone when people call, and that she have our interest in mind more so than the commissions of possible buyers by steering them away from my home. What is everyone else's opinion on this?Rick B. So, since I do commercial loans for a living and can do ALL of the back end stuff myself, I should have just paid a MLS listing service and answered the phone myself to save the $10,000? People hire Real Estate agents to sell their home. Are real estate agents really that worthless? I hope that people are not hiring you .
What do I need to know about getting a referred real estate agent to help me buy a particular house?
Ok I am interested in a house. The listing agent already showed us the house and we are ready to make an offer. We are not actively seeking a house but figured we'd see if we can get this one. A neighbor that I used to live next to, his wife is a real estate agent. I would like to use her from this point forward to submit our offer and so on. Is there anything I need to know before calling her, as far as not getting screwed? Do I need to sign anything with her? Anything I should be aware of? We are not sure what to watch out for. We were even going to submit an offer ourselves and if accepted, we were going to hire an attorney to help with the rest, or should we get an agent first to submit it. We are stuck on this issue, please help. I heard some buyer agents may be working for the seller as well and to watch out. We lived next to them years back and her husband was a friend of the family, but people change when it comes to money and we want to protect ourselves. Please help, thanks.
