My agent has mis-listed my house saying I'll reduce price PLUS add 3%-towards-closing, am I obligated if I get


an offer for the full price (i.e. the lower price with the 3%)? I wrote to her but typical, she never writes back or calls back. What should I do? I've had it listed since August 2007 with ZERO offers.

I would have to ask... did you sign anything that states that? If not, your Realtor may be on the hook for those costs. Anything put in print could cost you a great deal.

I would recommend you cancel that listing and hire a new firm.

if an agent does not write or call back, you should be alarmed. Check to make sure her license is current.

At the very least, an agent should have contact with you.

Hope

I would think that you need to agree to any listing price changes and also to paying 3% towards closing. This is odd. You should contact her broker and also the state agency overseeing real estate.

I live in PA and it's known as the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors. Your state probably has one, and you should think about filing a grievance with them.

You are never obligated to accept ANY offer, regardless of the amount or conditions. Your agent, however, is going beyond the bounds of what she is allowed to do. If she persists, contact the managing broker of the firm for which she works.

You are not obligated to accept ANY offer for ANY price.

It's possible that your agent is out of town during the holiday season, if you don't get a response, call her office and ask to speak to the broker and tell them you want the listing pulled.

I don't know how it works where you live but here I need to get a signature on a "change of price" form to legally alter the price on a listing.
