Can I buy a house with another agent even though I toured it with Redfin? I wasnt aware that Redfin dont have buyer’s rebate program while a 3rd party agent is giving 50% rebate of the entire sales commission. I can use that money for closing cost. Redfin agent told me that I cant go with other agents now that I toured that house with them first. What is the reality?
Lmao of course not. Did you sign anything that says you myst buy from them. Slap that mf in the face.
Bahahah of course you can go with another agent, they’re just fucking with you.
Nope I didnt sign anything
Signing is not necessary under real estate principles. Agency can be established by Implied Contract.
I wonder whether OP even knows what an implied contract is. One thing is sure: I'd pay money to see their face when the summons arrives.
Lol. That is not true. You can go with any agent
Not really
There is a waiting period before you could purchase through another agent, at which point the house will probably be gone. The agent took the time to meet and show you the home; they are owed the commission. Unless it's a friend or family member, most agents aren't going to give 50% rebate on their commissions. Why should they?
I doubt Redfin agent does any of this. All they do is show up and make sure they leave in 15 mins
You seemingly didn't do your own homework on using a quality agent, and regardless of how much time the RedFin agent spent at the property, you contacted them and requested a showing and asked questions etc. Don't make another mistake trying to be cheap. Realize the value a good agent brings, let them go to work for you and earn their commission. Trying retain as much of their commission as possible for yourself is short-sighted.
Ask other agent, mine told me long back that Redfin sues to get compensated and so they don’t wanna do that. Redfin will not come after you though, only your agent.
My agent told me the same thing and he stopped working with me now, lol. I was like wtf is wrong with you. Its my money, my choice. I dont want to get it through Redfin agent, simple as that.
So should I leave my 15K just because a fucking Redfin agent showed me the house for 15 mins?
Check Prevu, even they give rebate
You can always go to another agent no matter what you signed. They will never sue you because real estate agents are low level sales people
I havent signed any agreement with anyone. Still they can do that?
Can they sue my estate agent? How does that even work? Its my call at the end of the day right with whom I want to work.
You agreed to work with redfin
I did but I didnt enjoy working with my Redfin agent. Agent tells yes for everything, I want someone who is honest and gives guidance. If I am the one working on all the searches, why do I need them?
of course you can go with another agent wtf lol
