When I agreed to list the house with my ex-wife’s lame friend, Rocky, I thought that we all had the same goal in mind – to get the most money for the house in a changing market. I purchased the house prior to marrying my ex and remained in the home after our separation. <br /><br />When I signed the “seven” month listing agreement, I never received a copy of it – even after I asked Rocky for a copy months into the listing. Six months and four price reductions later (totaling $100,000 less than the original listing price) we received what I thought was an insulting low-ball offer. After countering back and being unable to reach an agreement with the potential buyers, I was ordered into court by my ex-wife. In court, I was given the choice to either take the low-ball offer or buy my ex-wife out of the house through refinancing in my name. When I chose to keep the house, my ex presented a letter to the court by Rocky of Remax and the judge was told that Remax would indeed sue for the full 5% of the buyer’s agent and seller’s agent commission.<br /><br />Not having any time in court to obtain a release of contract from Remax of Valencia, they refused to cancel the listing agreement without a cashiers check in the amount of $27,000. It’s amazing how they received FULL commission and they didn’t even sell the house!<br /><br />I would not recommend working with Rocky Coennen or Remax of Valencia. I felt that Rocky worked harder at trying to get a lower price for my house instead of working for the best price. I didn’t feel that Rocky or Remax of Valencia had my best interest at heart or cared about their reputation. I fully understand having to get a loan to refinance your house, but certainly didn’t expect to have to get a $27,000 additional loan just to pay my realtor for not selling my house.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7871638149237023689-8608931955428547516?l=remaxrocky.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>shafted sellershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03438900346224683095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871638149237023689.post-16394498297113646432008-01-29T16:03:00.000-08:002008-01-29T16:06:29.032-08:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7871638149237023689-1639449829711364643?l=remaxrocky.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>shafted sellershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03438900346224683095noreply@blogger.com0
