Thread: Realtor Question-complaint

there is really nothing you can do except chalk it up to experience, and give her a bad rep if anyone asks, don't use that agency anymore, and tell her boss about it.

I would not worry about it. It is their house, thier problem. If I lost the keys to my house, it would be my responsibility to get the house rekeyed, not someone elses. It is not her, (OP) responsibility.

I'm at a loss. The realtor tells me she didn't give the new owners the keys, yet. My question is....then why did the new owners tell me they had the key, lost it?

Thru the courts I'm still responsible for what's in the house....everything that's in there is my mothers. I was ordered by the courts to wait til the house was sold before I removed anything else from the house.

I did remove...tv's, money, jewelery, things of important value out right after my mother passed. When I was taken to court by my brother....that's when I was told to leave everything alone in the house. That was within a 10 day period after my mother died.

I'm the executor of my mom's estate.....my brother was caught lying under oath to the judge.

I'll just wait and see if anything's missing. I can't go over there w/out the new owners permission.

that was just so you could not remove things like light fixtures, etc. You can certainly remove anything like a sofa or chair.

I agree, Cause otherwise the new owners can be "helping" themselves to whatever they want and you would never know the difference. which could have already happened unless you have a photographic memory of EVERYTHING in the house.

It was made clear by my attorney to my realtor she wasn't to give/loan the key to anyone during the time I was showing the house.

She gave the new owners the key sometime in early December....without my permission and NO CONTRACT.

She also signed my name on a contract for her employer. Stating I was out of town (I was the first week of December for fil's funeral) and that she had permission to sign my name. She did not. Everything is to be cleared by my attorney, judge overseeing the estate. I have to report to the judge once a month on the status of everything that's gone on, turn in receipts, show proof that things were done.

She came highly recommended by a lot of people. I did research on her before I hired her....her references are outstanding here in Houston. Named one of the top sellers for 2004-2008.

Going to see attorney tomorrow and hopefully get this all straightened out. If my brother finds out what happened I'm not sure what he'll do.

Wish me luck.

I'm sorry....never trust realtors.....they only work for themselves, not you.....

Trust me......I've bought and sold many properties....they work for themselves only.
