The Beginning
It all started when my wife and I decided to sell our house. We were excited to move to a new city and start a new chapter in our lives. We hired a realtor to help us sell the house and find a new one. We thought we had found the perfect realtor, but we were wrong.
The First Signs
At first, everything seemed to be going well. The realtor listed our house and started showing it to potential buyers. But then we started to notice some strange things. Our house was not getting as many showings as we had expected, and the ones we did get were not very serious buyers.
The Turning Point
One day, we received an email from a potential buyer who had seen our house online. They were interested in seeing the house but were unable to get in touch with our realtor. We thought this was strange, so we decided to investigate. We found out that our realtor had not been returning calls or emails from potential buyers.
The Betrayal
It was then that we realized that our realtor was not working in our best interest. We felt betrayed and angry. We had trusted this person to help us sell our house and find a new one, but instead, they were sabotaging our efforts.
The Aftermath
We immediately fired the realtor and found a new one. Our new realtor was able to sell our house within a few weeks, and we were able to move to our new city without any further issues. However, the experience left a bad taste in our mouths, and we will always be wary of realtors in the future.
The Lesson Learned
The lesson we learned from this experience is to always do your research when choosing a realtor. Don’t just go with the first one you find or the one with the lowest commission. Take the time to read reviews and ask for referrals from friends and family. And always trust your gut.
Conclusion
It was the fucking realtor who almost derailed our plans to sell our house and start a new life. But we didn’t let them win. We took control of the situation and found a way to move forward. And that’s the most important lesson of all.
