Get a new realtor?

[Anonymous]

We had a showing on Sunday and the realtor was four minutes late. It was a Sunday, morning, so I let it slide. We signed up with her and scheduled a showing for today at 4, which required us leaving work early - we are outside still waiting for her (4:14). She just texted that she thought we scheduled for 4:30 but the group chat clearly reads “4.” Should we get a new realtor?

Probably, you certainly don't want her to slip up on details when it comes to your paperwork (which, in my experience, is the main role of a realtor - doing paperwork).

This is such a bummer. The house we’re looking at right now is basically my dream house. Is there any way to get a new realtor for this property? (Still sitting on the porch and sweating.)

Did you sign a contract with her? And, if so, what does it say? Is it by property or for a timeframe?

Yes, fire her and tell all your buyer agent to give you part of their commission. It’s very common

Yes.

You seriously had to "let is slide" when your agent was four minutes late? Get yourself some therapy.

Yes. 2x is a big deal. They most likely aren't good with attention to details and you need to make sure paperwork is ok.

Did you sign a contract? If you signed a contract it might be harder, but read it. If you didn't sign a contract, just write and explain why.

Yes fire her.

Yes, realtors are a dime a dozen. So many bad ones, mostly flunk outs from other careers. Ask your friends for references before hiring a new one.

A realtor should be early to meet clients. The client shouldn't ever be waiting because the realtor is late.
