Feeling disappointed in my Buyer's Agent. Has she been following her fiduciary duty?

So we have a site set up where my preferences are supposed to filter in houses that look good to me based on price, features, and location. I asked her to have a wide range, including houses that may need the lower end renovation mortgage, all the way up to 350k. Pretty much all of the houses that show up are 300k and above. I mark those houses as "possible" or "favorite" and reject some that are 55+ etc (I am not 55+), and nothing ever comes of it, she never checks the site or anything. So I have ended up looking at homes on Zillow and Redfin, and just send her listings from there. Then I have to text her that I've sent her an email for her to notice. So last week I had sent her 3 houses, and when she called me about them she immediately told me one was under contract and she knew that because she put an offer in a month ago and it was under contract then. So I'm kind of like... wtf.. bc that house was livable, 260k, and about 3 blocks from where I live now so it was convenient. She said she put an offer in on that house because she's always looking at investment properties because she's a realtor, and I should expect that... uhmmm what??? Can someone tell me if I'm crazy or if that seems not very ethical?

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...

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/
