i have been house/condo hunting with my fiance since may (we actually didnt get engaged till june) and since day 1 it has been a total and complete nightmare. we got rid of the first realtor, because she was always late, never said much, appeared to be high, and then told us after seeing a handful of places that she had searched ALL of camden county and found NOTHING in our price range. after calling 5 more realtors, 3 or which never called back, and one who also claimed there was nothing, we found what seemed to be our dream realtor, whos first search came up with 140 places in our price range. the first house we got very interested in, when my dad went to go see it, pointed out a very serious erosion problem in the back yard, and a smell in the house we assumed dog, he thought mold, which made perfect sense with the erosion... then we found a townhouse we fell in love with, only to find out after we made an offer that it was a short sale, and went through inspection, was told all the utilities would be turned on, and were not.. but even though we didnt get to finish inspection, found another 15k in expenses we were unaware of, and when we wanted to back out, our "perfect" realtor flipped out. and we moved on to a new realtor and a new condo. we now have to go to small claims court just to get our deposit back from the townhouse.. well we had inspection on the condo today, only to find out the water heater and furnace are bad, and the windows dont meet code because their locks are defective. and since we got a lawyer this time, he's in the middle of rewriting the contract and we refused to give them a deposit until after we reviewed the inspection report. and the sellers realtor called us to tell us she didnt get the fax with the changes from the lawyer. we call the lawyer and he has a confirmation number that he sent the fax hours earlier, but sends them again anyway, and we call the real estate office and confirm with their administration that they do infact have the fax and put it in the realtors bin. well she just called me SCREAMING that she still doesnt have it. i tell her she does, and has to take up the problem with her office, and she was screaming over me the whole time. my dad takes the phone out of my hands to try and calming explain, and shes screaming at him to the point that my mother ACROSS THE ROOM heard her. how crazy unprofessional are these people? my dad says hes calling her manager to complain. im too swamped with work to even be on here complaining, but i just feel like im losing my mind with this stuff. i just want to live with my babe and be done with all this crap.. is it so much to ask for to have an HONEST realtor willing to work, and not yell at us?
