Buyers had terrible realtor

Just a fun little story from when we sold our house.

We had a realtor no show for a showing, which was quite annoying since we had to vacate the house with a toddler, dog, and cat. Apparently the agent thought the house was vacant and she could just go whenever?? So five hours later she asks if she can come, we don’t need to leave as the buyers aren’t with her. Sure, whatever. Apparently the buyers had seen the house from the outside (???) and she was doing a video tour to show them the inside. I’m in FL and they’re in Cape Cod.

We did have a couple show up and knock on our door so I asked the agent if it was them…. She didn’t even know!! I was shocked. But anyways, she does the video. She loved our little house. Great. I was stunned at how unprofessional she was. Reeked of cigarette smoke and just her entire presentation, but I guess she wasn’t meeting with her clients that might be why.

Buyers put in an offer at list price. We’re thrilled. Inspection happens, a few things come up, nothing major but definitely things here and there. Inspection period passes without a word from their realtor, they didn’t ask for anything. Again, we were thrilled!

The day before our closing, their agent reaches out to our broker asking if we ever got anything on the inspection report fixed….. broker responds uh no, you didn’t ask for anything to be fixed. Like what???

Then, closing day comes. We were buying a new house as well and using the same law firm for the closing. Met the buyers in the lobby, lovely people. The agent asks me, right in front of them, if the spa area of the pool and pool heater works (it said right on the listing that the pool is not heated, didn’t work the entire time we lived there) so I said no I don’t think it does, it didn’t work the whole time we lived there. But then I tried to deflect and say that we don’t like heating the pool anyways because if you need it heated then the air is too cold to enjoy swimming. Idk, I was just mortified she was asking this in front of her clients and scared they would walk.

When I told my agent and broker that story, they couldn’t believe it. It was just such a sharp contrast compared to my team, who are so professional, knowledgeable, and the best in the town.

In the end everything went through great. Worked out well for us that their agent dropped the ball since we didn’t have to make any concessions or repairs, but I do hope they’re happy in the house, it will be a winter home for them.

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...
