Incorrect on both assumptions. I'm newly posting under this moniker but I've been posting on this board for five years now. I'm also a seasoned agent and I've sat on my Real Estate Board before. We took ethics complaints very seriously and yes, they had teeth. |

I must say, you may not be a new agent but you do sound like a new poster since you are being so nice. I tried it too. Countering the negativity with professionalism and sound advice. But Mr. FSBO and Mr. Redfin (who are probably one and the same) who keep insulting, insulting, insulting agents . . . well, you are better than I am!
I have never seen an ethics complaint go through in DC unless it was severely egregious - no one is going to get slapped on the wrist for being a b*@#! (and as many of these people think - OR MORE LIKELY MR. FSBO/REDFIN - WE ARE)! As you stated in one of your previous posts, it makes me sad to see what people say too, but again, I think it's just the bitter guy in AU Park who is mocking his neighbors for supposedly "over-paying" for a very nice house. I hope they don't invite him to their house-warming party! Finally, to the OP, call the agent's manager and tell the manager how rudely you were treated! You have never come back to state what happened but I would love to hear it. I cannot stand agents that treat people poorly and give the rest of us a bad reputation. AT LEAST turn him/her into their own firm!!! |
+1. There's "abrupt but not warm/fuzzy," then there's "lazy," then there's "unprofessional," then there's "unethical," then there's "illegal." |
