Rude realtor makes me not want to offer on a house

We’ve been looking for the past couple months and have finally found the home we believe fits all of our requirements and is within our price range. We attended a lot of the open homes and talked to the agent and he was sweet talking us at the time but when it came to auction, it was basically a total bust. The highest bid was way below what the sellers wanted and we had explained that we couldn’t bid too high because we were still waiting on finance which was coming the next day and didn’t want to risk it (auction was Sunday, Monday we received the finance).

The partner agent told us to just submit our offer on Monday as we still had bidder rights until the house officially goes on the market after auction and so we did - the selling agent immediately declined the offer, which was a really good offer, and reworded our offer email which just made it sound like he was making fun of us to be honest. I understand being irritated by a failed auction but we were not the only people who made it a fail.

They’ve now listed the house “for sale” and the price is set way higher than what they were initially asking for (more than 200k more) and I know that they can probably negotiate down to the original price but I honestly feel so bad about how he treated us after the auction that I’m not sure if we should even give our money to this man. We haven’t found a house better suited for our needs and I know there’s always going to be another house but I don’t know if his rudeness is worth giving up the house we want. I also just kind of feel he may he rigid on the price because he knows who we are and he’d be more lenient on someone else.

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 ...
