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.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

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/
