And the saga continues…
Posted in Rants/Raves on 04/11/2006 06:24 am by enjanerdSam Lahlou: what a freakin’ sleaze of a realtor.
First, he tried to guilt me into giving his client extra time for rent-back. Blind-siding me with their sob story when my realtor was not present and all I needed was for him to deliver a key that I had requested weeks earlier. Then, he gives me a week’s notice for their leave date when he assured me that he would tell me as soon as possible. This was approximately 2 weeks after he knew when they were moving out. His client even thought I had been notified.
Now, he has somehow “pulled a fast one” on the escrow company and walked away with 55% more than he should have, after spending 2 months trying to get me to concede. I would not because the condo was left unclean and with our list of issues from the walkthrough completely unaddressed. He also tried to say that his client was doing me a favor by delaying the close by a week, which as it turned out “helped” me have to show up with an extra 5% in cash the day of. So, this favor meant that I should give them a break on the escrow because they have a new house to pay for.
Right, like I didn’t just buy a condo. And I don’t have expenses 6 times more than any rent I’ve ever paid in my life. (Granted, I’m comparing this to Blacksburg rent, so that might not be a fair comparison.) I hope the title company presses charges. I hope he loses his license. Freakin’ sleaze.
