[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the "sellers" for these Compass exclusive listings don't really even want to sell. I got run around by a couple Compass agents trying to force a deal to happen.

When they kept delaying the showing, I pressed the agent to give me a yes/no answer to whether it was actually for sale. The answer was no.

The Compass playboook is to find someone who isn't really selling and try to entice them with an offer. They try to create a deal with an ambivalent seller. Sometimes it works and sometimes they just bs the buyer and waste their time. [/

This is total BS. You think the Compass agent was trying to get you to write an offer on a house that wasn't for sale? The agent reached out to you, told you that a house was for sale when it wasn't, with the hope that you would write an offer sight unseen bc maybe the seller would then decide to sell? You want us to believe that? [/quote]

You sound like a realtor.

Compass agents do this all the time. They hear of someone who's thinking about even thinking about selling and try to produce a high off-market offer to get their commission.

Compass agents also tell you to put $$$ into your home to sell it. Say your home is worth $1.5M. They'll tell you it's worth $1.25M but if you put $80K in then they can get you $1.5M. Then it's easier to get you that $1.5M so they get their commission check quickly and you'll never know that you net less than you could have. [/quote]
