[quote=Anonymous]Ummmmmm...

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

-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)
  ***That's pretty standard, and maybe she didn't know about the septic issue until after it was sold?
-told me I’m the first person who has ever actually read the entire offer contract
  ***That's entirely possible, and good on you for doing that.Most buyers are idiots.
-told me things missing from sellers disclosure (incl age of water heater and whether ac was working) were nbd
  ***I'm not sure why you would expect the seller to disclose that when they are easily discoverable upon visiting the home and/or getting a home inspection (in your case, you should have had a pre-inspection if you were going to waive the inspection contingency). You need to check these things, OP
-told me basement moisture evidence was nbd.
  ***Basements have moisture, but again, why didn't you get a home inspection? 
-told me loose stair pavers were nbd
  ***That is pretty easy to repair and also obvious upon inspection by you or a home inspector, you are stupid for not getting one.
-scheduled walkthrough an hour before closing 
  ***This is standard. We've bought two houses and sold one. This is what happened in all three instances. When would you expect the walkthrough to occur?
-did not recommend an escrow for these and other things wrong I noticed that weren’t in the disclosure or inspection 
  ***I don't know what you mean by this. That's also not standard in this area. If you want the seller to fix something, you write that in the contract or mod the contract for them to fix those things after the inspection.
-told me if I didn’t close over these things I’d lose my whole deposit 
  ***Yes, that's how escrow money works unless you have a home inspection contingency, it was stupid of you to waive the inspection contingency without doing a pre-inspection.

[qupote]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 sorry but you don't have to do what the agent tells you to do. You should have done your research. It doesn't sound like you got scammed, it sounds like you are a complete idiot.[/quote]
