I did sign a "disclosure agreement," which stated was not a contract, but if the agent finds and shows any....

Question

to me then she is entitled to the commission if I put in an offer.

Now I know that I will not sign anything unless I'm ready to put an offer.

My sister viewed the house with the host agent on a friday. And I went with my agent or our agent to the open house on saturday. Now, I planned to view the property with my sister on friday, but traffic delayed me.

The host agent said hello but did not asks us to sign in or anything. Later that day, I received a call from the host agent to see if I was going to come to the open house and told him that I came with an agent. He then proceeded to tell me that this will pose a problem and I told him that I did not sign anything and there should not be a problem. He quickly told me to only deal with him. I relayed that with the agent I've been working with a she quickly informed that I signed the disclosure agreement and that she was entitled to some of the commission. TBC...

Answer 1

It is a shame that those agents are acting that way.. it is not nessasary! Likely the seller has agreed to pay them both a commision so there is no need for their behavior. However it is the Host Agent that is really out of line, it sounds to me he just wants "both sides" of the commision. Your agents and his and that is why he is acting that way. He is not representing the best needs of the seller and his Broker should be made aware of his actions. Your Agent is likely just frustrated at his actions and although she should not take it out on you she is correct.. she is due a commision. I would try to talk to her again and appeal to her by letting her know you don't wish to cut her out of the deal & have her follow up with the Host Agents Broker. Best of luck!

Answer 2

To me it sounds like you are getting involved in an AGENT dispute of who gets the commission. Work with whichever agent YOU like the best, and then let THEM fight out who gets paid what.

It's their problem, not yours. Shame on them for trying to embroil you in their dispute.
