Are realtors supposed to verify willing sellers?

Can somebody help me understand whether the realtor did wrong?

In 1999, my Dad went behind my mothers back to sell our house in Southern California and convinced his mother to co-sign on another more expensive one nearby. I think he forged a lot of stuff. My mom felt super betrayed and forced to move, and us kids (9th, 6th, 5th grade) were so devastated. When the realtor came through, we tried to send hate vibes at her and even shot nerf guns trying to get her to leave. I still remember her name since we were all so angry. We had actually liked her up to that point because she always gave pumpkins to all the houses in our neighborhood in the Fall every year. But then she came in to sell the house and was totally in my Dad’s pocket doing his dirty work. Honestly, my parents’ marriage was never the same and the subsequent years were really hard. My mom never trusted my dad again because that and other subsequent shady dealings. My aunts and uncles on my dad’s side basically cut us off because he had pressured my grandma into giving him a bunch of money to buy the more expensive house. Obviously my Dad was the main jerk in all of this, but I have always also hated this realtor for selling our house. Did she just not care that she was aiding and abetting my Dad in destroying the family?????

As an adult now, though, I’m wondering whether the realtor actually did anything wrong? Was she supposed to check that my Mom was a willing seller or not? This was 20+ years ago so probably sounds kind of silly, but still curious and trying to make sense of it all.

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...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
