Our RE agent was with us for a LONG showing where we met the owner/seller.
Later, after thanking the seller for a kind gift (a book he wrote), by phone, He invited us back over for a moment.
As it was very preliminary, we went without our agent, to listen. He did explain some unusual challenges he faces in the sale. Its been listed 7 months with no offers. We did not come to terms or strike a deal of any kind, but got a better idea of what he wants (to remain on the property for 5 years for example).
We now feel ready to make a formal offer. We have called our RE agent to write up the offer, per normal protocol, and she has said that since we have spoken directly to the seller without her knowledge, she is certain she will lose her RE license. This seems totally emotional and silly to us. According to the 1st amendment we can talk with whoever we want. She gets paid of course, but is sure we have ruined her. Is she right? Does she have any liability at all?
