The realtor we have asked to take over from our current realtor has already given us more of his time than the other guy has in the last ten months. Tonight he went over to look at the house and then sent me an email saying that he was unable to get in because the keysafe box on the door was set to keep people out unless they made an appointment with the original realtor. We specifically asked the first realtor to set it so any agent could have access to increase our showings and he said he would. He didn't, obviously, because by controlling who can enter the property and making sure only his clients see it, he can be sure to collect commission on both ends. Being 1200 kilometers away has made it impossible for us to monitor these things and we still wouldn't know this now if we hadn't finally decided to give this guy the boot. Now I'm so angry I want to file a formal complaint. (I'm sure, however, that I've already signed some waiver absolving him of all guilt no matter how inept or dishonest he turns out to be.) I'm so mad I'd like to drive back across the prairies and kick him in the balls. We told this creep that we were desperate to sell, slowly going down the drain, etcetera etcetera, and he said - whenever he could be bothered to return our calls - that he was doing everything he could. Meanwhile he's been sabotaging us for his own financial gain. Wow there really are some horrible greedy people in the world.
