Residential Realtors are a funny bunch
Some realtors take their career seriously, but others . . .
Had a very unfortunate interaction with a realtor yesterday. You will get kick of out of this line: "I'm not the Seller's representative, I'm just the Listing Agent." - i.e. I am clueless on what the words agent and representative mean.
Apparently on the MLS listing there were two parcels to be transferred together; however, the PSA submitted to our firm contained only one street address and one tax parcel number. Two amendments still only referenced a single street address. Commitment contained only one street address, one tax parcel number, and one legal description. Signed Settlement Statement contained only one street address and one set of tax prorations. We closed on the single address that was ever brought to our attention as we are not on the MLS.
Six months later the Listing Agent thinks she can chew out my office because we failed to transfer the 2nd parcel which was acquired via a separate title chain and at no point in our communications or documents was ever disclosed.
She backtracked real quick when I told her we are under no obligation to help and due to her attitude would no longer be assisting in the quitclaim deed for the 2nd parcel.
What are some of your best tales? (this is not a best, just a recent and part of the reason I take so few residential files)
Edit:
I see people are getting heated over facts assumed. This was a small subdivision in development. Seller is an LLC that owns over a dozen lots. If your contract corresponds to Lot 8, I'm not sure how any reasonable person was supposed to know you meant Lot 8 & Lot 7. Developer was the deceased husband, leaving his wife as the Sole Member. She is liquidating the subdivision with the help of her probate attorney, which is how it was referred to my office. Buyer paid all closing costs, and there was a construction lender involved as to the purchase of what we'll reference as Lot 8. At no point was our office made aware that anything other than Lot 8 was to be transferred, not even the Lender was aware (or else you know they would've raised it if their collateral was 2 lots, but we only showed 1) -> reason is the contract & subsequent amendments specified only a single property.
