In escrow: is my realtor screwing me on showings and backup offers?

We’re in escrow, and they’re repping both us and the buyer (which I’m not a fan of. But we live in a smaller market so it’s common here).

They’ve lost our trust with the way they’re negotiating and they’re clearly siding with the buyer now. Is there a way for them to prove to me that they haven’t shut down the MLS, or that they somehow haven’t made it MORE difficult for us to get backup offers? We haven’t had any showings while in escrow. I understand that might be common, especially in a smaller market. But again, trust has gone out the window.

When the offer came in and when we asked about still showing and taking backup offers they came up with some excuse as to why they couldn’t. When we said this was a non-negotiable they told us they’d lose their license. We knew this wasn’t the case. We pushed them on this and pretended like they got confused with our question then eventually agreed to show it while it’s in escrow. Bizarre.

Can someone please help? How can I ask for proof that they’re not screwing us on showings and getting backup offers while in escrow. Thank you!!

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...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

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/
