Realtor complaint update and timeline

Just a bit of backstory in case anyone is wondering. I purchased a house that was in a different state through a friend who was a realtor. The entire process was pretty stressful. From being told that I was costing her money for asking for video walkthroughs of homes, to being told I made her look like a liar for having second thoughts on a home, to flat out telling me how negative I am for finding faults with homes. Oh and deleting her facebook realtor page after I posted a review. This was in Texas in case anyone is wondering.

Here's a screenshot of the original reddit post (I deleted it a while ago) :

and if you're really bored, here's the original post with all the comment replies (it's a very long screenshot):

- Purchased the home around October 2020

- October 2020 Realtor stops responding to me and removes me from all social media once I start showing her clear issues with the house that were not addressed in the inspection.

- December 2020 I submit a complaint through TREC. I filled out their form and attached my complaint. You can read it here if you're bored (I removed names and links to the photos). The formatting is a bit wonky since I copied and pasted it to google docs but I mostly just explained my experience, and provided them with links to screenshots and audio messages of those conversations.

- December 2020 I receive an email letting me know they received my complaint and explaining the entire process

- January 2021 I receive an email letting me know my complaint has been transferred to field investigators and they will contact me when they're ready to speak to me (I never heard from them). The investigators did open the inspection report for the house through google docs though, so I figured they'd contact me soon enough but I never heard from them.

- July 2021 I receive the determination saying they feel no action needs to be taken and I should hire an attorney if I feel the need to file a civil suit.

That's basically it. With my dog being sick and my own issues to deal with I don't think this is something I'm going to pursue any further. I don't even know if there's anything to pursue. I figure with everything I submitted maybe there was at least a valid ethics complaint or something but I guess not. Would have been nice to read the realtors response at least.

I'd leave a review for this realtor but I honestly can't find anywhere to do so. I'm able to find her on different sites, but no option to leave a review.

Anyway, thanks for reading if you got this far. Hopefully some of you can learn from my mistakes.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
