Real estate agent

john-giles · 2015-10-22T23:55:00Z

I am having a heck of a time with a real estate agent. Are they supposed to help protect the public in some manner? This agent doesn't want a survey because she fears the property will come out less than what the deed says. (It's going to come out more but I'll be danged if I was going to tell her that given her attitude.) She is really pushing my client to cancel her survey which we are right in the middle of. The agent even called me and told me my client didn't want the survey anymore so I called my client who knew nothing about cancelling the survey. However my client was noticeably less friendly toward me based on the advice of the real estate agent. Are real estate agents that terrible? I can say most I deal with are not. This one is. I've honestly never ran into an agent that was this dead set against surveys or surveyors. Can they be turned into their board for giving bad advice just for the sole purpose of the possible profits they may receive? Do they not have to uphold the public well being when giving advice? I was caught completely off guard when the agent called and told me they only wanted an acre surveyed an that the deed was fine based on what they read. I asked if they had plotted it. No but the deed has calls and that is all that matters. I told them the deed was a mess and missed closing by over 3000' (I posted previously about this) it was not fit to be sold as it is. She said surveys are nothing but trouble because the acreage never comes out right. I didn't even know how to respond to that. What a piece of work this real estate agent is.

Well, that makes sense. It's the first question on the application form when applying to take the standardized test. "Are you a descendant of Satan? Yes_____ No_____"

Article 2 sums up my statement quite well. Pertinent facts such as not closing for 3000 feet!
