First time home seller.
Our realtor listed our house, over the timeframe of a few days we got multiple offers. We looked at each one as it came in and communicated with the realtor about it. We talked about reviewing all offers on one day, however some offers had an expiration before the planned review.
We found out today that the realtor didn’t communicate anything back to the other realtors about our review day and let offers expire. We didn’t explicitly ask the realtor to communicate back each time, but since we talked about each offer and discussed the day we were planning to review offers (realtor’s suggestion) we didn’t think we had to ask for this each time.
After some back and forth (in a live conversation) trying to sort out how to move forward the realtor abruptly said they didn’t want to be our realtor anymore. We were caught off guard as all our interactions had been pretty good till this. No one was yelling or anything, we were trying to figure out what we should do as a next step with expired offers. We were asking about the expired offers and if the realtor could reach back out to the other realtors to at least let them know we’d planned a day to review the offers. Just letting them expire seemed odd to us. The abruptness in saying they didn’t want to be our realtor makes us think we did something wrong.
Were we asking for something that’s unusual? It seems fairly standard right now to review the offers on one day, we’ve even seen that in postings. Perhaps our ask about reaching out to the other realtors was inappropriate or not what is acceptable in the industry?
Anyway, we are going to find a new realtor. Will this hurt us from a listing standpoint when the house is put back up for sale? As well as, how do we explain why we are switching realtors?
