My realtor decided without informing me for the escrow funds

I bought a out of state multi family. The closing last 4 months due to the seller not performing the repairs per our initial agreement. we agreed on foundation repairs to be done by the seller. However, because the seller wanted to close quick, he got a quote from a company ($16k) I got mine from another contractor to avoid any potential collaboration between the seller and the company, they quote at $18k but the seller refuse to go with my contractor, to save $2k. I was ok with that as the funds ($16k) would be withhold in the escrow account and will be released only if I have a reinspection report that attest they did the job correctly.

The work has been completed since September 8th and I wasn't notified. I called the title company and they told me my realtor agent informed them to wire the funds to the contractor which they did without informing me.

I contacted my realtor agent yesterday (3 weeks later) to understand his approach and why he proceed without event informing me the work has been completed. He told me the seller agent was pressuring him to release, without even acknowledge this is appropriate.

Now I am very confused. I don't know what incentive the seller agent could have and I suspect they are all working together and trafficking something off.

Besides that, throughout the 4 months process, I noticed a crucial lack of communication from my realtor agent and fell like he is by the seller side and not defending my interest (the seller agent is his friend)

Am I overreacting? Any thoughts? Should I report my realtor agent for such unprofessionalism? If yes how?

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/
