[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are some things she did:

-tried for a year to sell me a house that was above my budget and that she knew needed $50K septic system replaced (didn’t tell me that part until after it was sold to someone else)
-told me I’m the first person who has ever actually read the entire offer contract
-told me things missing from sellers disclosure (incl age of water heater and whether ac was working) were nbd
-told me basement moisture evidence was nbd.
-told me loose stair pavers were nbd
-scheduled walkthrough an hour before closing 
-did not recommend an escrow for these and other things wrong I noticed that weren’t in the disclosure or inspection 
-told me if I didn’t close over these things I’d lose my whole deposit

I found the house myself and she was in it for ten minutes without me once and then only at the walkthrough. On her advice I bid $100K over ask with $50k deposit, no inspection or contingencies and 30d close.[/quote]

-- I'm not sure why she was telling you about a house needing septic when you didn't buy it, but it's highly unlikely she knew it  needed replacing until after the different buyer was under contract and had an inspection done. So you're grasping at that one.

-- Maybe you were the first person to read the entire offer contract. I don't understand how making that observation is some kind of foul?

-- Age of water heater and AC functioning are, in fact, NBD in terms of a seller disclosure. This is why you get an inspection.

-- Basement moisture is probably NBD too. Again, that's why you have an inspection. Most basements have moisture, anyway.

-- I don't know what a "stair paver" is, but loose pavers are NBD -- certainly not something you kill a house contract over.

-- You don't escrow for these little things. Either you want the house or not. You can try to ask the seller to fix them in the home inspection negotiation period, but they'll probably tell you to no.

-- And, yeah, if you didn't close over these things, you probably WOULD lose your deposit.

Honestly, you sound like a nightmare to work with. You sound very ignorant about homebuying, although you also sound like you don't know what you don't know and also like you might be the type who's frequently wrong but rarely in doubt.

And, since you will no doubt make an accusation, I'm not an agent or in any way connected to the industry.
