I reached out to an agent on Zillow because of a property I liked. He got me a few virtual tours and an in person one.
He has talked me out of a few properties that I really liked and pushed for me to make a bid on a home that I was not super psyched about and seemed annoyed when I declined to do so.
Anyway, I never really chose him I just wanted a tour initially and now I feel like I’m his indefinite client. I was mostly just browsing homes leisurely but he’s talking to be about a closing timeline already and things like that wen I’ve only really seen 3 homes.
I am asking this because I was interested in a condo and he said it wouldn’t be beneficial to get a condo based on what kind of mortgage I could get. He brushed off my request for more information on said condo and continued to send me MLS of other places.
I eventually just messaged the listing agent for the condo myself and they never responded- my realtor did however, saying that the message was forwarded to him by the listing agent from a completely different agency?
He kind of scolded me for reaching out to another agent and said I should only be asking him these things.
This is my first time buying a home so I feel like I’m being taken advantage of - he wants me to spend more money and bid on something right away. This whole process has only been 2 1/2 weeks! I am already overwhelmed, I don’t understand how this is supposed to work and I don’t want to offend anyone I just want to get the home that I want. I didn’t realize that by reaching out to someone for a tour would mean that I can now only talk to them.
Is this normal? I hope I don’t sound dumb or naive.
