I bought this home from a previous real estate agent who had committed fraud when she sold me the home. She was concerned that I would tell the people in the community that she was a deceitful person so she quickly blackballed me to the community. I decided it was best to just sell this home and leave the area. When I listed the home the agents in the area would not show the home. I came home one day to see an agent's car showing a home down the street from me. This home was $100,000. more than mine, less square footage and in bad condition. I asked my agent why they would show that home rather than my home--she gave some sort of stupid reply with a smile on her face--I later found out that she was in on the conspiracy.

This needs to be reported to the real estate board and anyone and everyone else you can think of. If there was fraud involved that agent needs to be outed to the entire community so she cannot do it to anyone else. Call the Better Business Bureau the Chamber of Commerce and absolutely everyone you can think of. People need to know she is not trustworthy. Call your state's Department of Real Estate to report her actions. Go check this out: http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/wiki/Realtor_Complaint.asp

Real estate law is a fairly common practice so you shouldn't have a hard time finding a reputable attorney who can assist you with the sale of your home, you really don't need a real estate agent to sell or show your home. If you have documentation of this particular real estate agents inadequacies then you need to contact the BBB, your local real estate board as well as the agents superior. It is very possible that nobody will be able to do anything for you now, but it will give documentation of the agents dishonesty so that when it happens again they can throw the book at her, agents are held to a strict code of ethics and are handled appropriately when they treat a client unethically. Hope this helps and good luck!

You're a first time buyer - You don't know enough about buying a house to represent yourself. Have a Realtor represent you. Agents have sent you listings - why do you have more than one agent doing work for you with no intention of them getting a pay check? I found one that I love - You've already seen the house? The seller/listing agent may not want to share a commission anymore. Who directed you to this house? Loan officer insists on seller paying your down payment - You must be going through Countrywide. They're trying to get bought out, and with the "money laundering" down payment assistance programs (buyer gets "grant" from non-profit organization after the seller "gives" the money plus a fee to the non-profit) the buyers can still have reserves left after the purchase, so the loan being sold looks more appealing to the investor buying it. Find another FHA loan officer. Don't have the seller pay for stuff (you have to raise the price for that BTW) that you can pay for yourself.

I think you are blowing things out of proportion. There are usually hundreds of real estate agents in any given city. All of them want to sell houses so that they make money. Find a different agent if you are that worried about it.

I'm sure the real estate agent committed fraud, if that was the case you would have taken them to court! Sure you're not runnin a crackhouse!! Your home is obviously not worth near what you're trying to sell it for and you're blaming everyone but yourself! Get a life!

Report them to the State Real Estate Licensing department. It will take some time, but, they will investigate. If you don't want to do that, talk to the principal broker of the agency, tell your story and say that if he/she doesn't help you, you are ready to go to the state agency to report all of them including the company for unethical conduct. That will get them moving.

Sell it yourself - when you get an offer just have the Buyer get an attorney to prepare the Contract or vice versa, close at a title company of your choice.

You can sell your own home without a realtor. Just list it as for sale by owner.
