This website was annoying because you couldn't use it unless you gave them information about yourself. Not good.

We purchased our new house, closed on it, then sold our current house. We had a $5K surprise at closing. We originally came to an agreement price on our house and the buyer was good with it. Then the inspection found some issues so we gave them a $5K seller concession. Then later the appraisal came back even lower so we agreed on the appraised value. Now common sense tells you that the selling price was reduced to the new appraised value and that the concession was off the table. It wasn't so we got burned out of $5K at closing and the buyer ended up getting the house for $5K less than our lowered offer. A good realtor would have pointed this out to us but ours said nothing. By having it as a concession, she was able to get her commission on the $5K and we had to pay it at closing. Very shady business and I will never use this reality company again nor will I ever recommend them to any of my friends. We felt like we were totally taken advantage of. Our realtor never even put a sold sign up in front of our house nor did she ever show it once yet she got her commission.

My real estate agent was very nice and professional, but made my first time buying experience not very good. My home was over a month and a half behind schedule and I had to schedule all my own walk throughs and closings. My agent was aware of all the difficulties and frustrations that I was encountering, but did not receive any sort of commentary, feedback, or guidance until I prompted them. He was over 15 minutes late to my final closing. I inquired with friends, family, and other colleagues if they had similar experience with their real estate agent and an overwhelming response was 'no'. Their real estate agent experiences were very positive as they had and advocate acting as an extension of themselves representing them in the home buying/building process.
