I emailed him a week in advance that I wouldn't be able to make it because of last minute work, and his response was why would I be there?

I accidentally bought into a 55+ community??
Your realtor failed you horribly and is useless.

I had to read this one. This is a flat out lie. Brokers are dumb but YOU read the paperwork. The lender and attorney are the fucking idiots in a situation like this and so is the buyer. Read your contracts. Read the HOA minutes, covenants, bylaws etc. People cannot blame others for their own laziness like they're 4 years old and their parents do the laundry. This guy should fall down a cliff on a hike....
The comments are all bullshit that I read too. 55+ communities are regulated by HUD not counties or ...
How are these things enforced anyway? What if the guy dyes his hair gray and pretends he's indeed a youthful-looking geezer?

Never been part of an HOA I assume? They have legal authority to verify the age of the buyer in those communities.

No. The buyer signs a statement that he/she is at least 55 years old (or the co-owning spouse is). Do that hair dye bit and you will be sued for fraud.
I thought he has already bought the place. How did that happen w/o him signing anything about him being 55?
You can get buy a multiple listing for $175
It's so less stressful buy owner and the big lie is they can sell it for more money.
Realtors cut themselves into your deal.
Sellers AND buyers need to negotiate the pay structure better.
And 9 out of 10 times you'll end up paying a buyers broker either way.
Correct, because the overwhelming amount of buyers reflexively call a Realtor when they are serious about buying.
So I started putting in my cover letter my stats and how I made over $100k four years in a row and was top 20% of agents nationally four years in a row with one of those years being in the top 5%. I knew it seemed “cocky” but I have no other way to show I was good at what I did and being modest/not having that in there wasn’t working either. After three months still no replies and just countless rejection emails.
I'm 33yo and have worked in sales (realtor) for the past 7 years making $100-120k the past four years. Recently the market shifted and last year I made almost no money ($20k).
I can give him some advice - an employer won't hire somebody that thinks will bail when there's a better opportunity.
The realtor is now upset saying this is not how this works and that she has to pick an offer or she will sue for fees.
I guess it is too late to back out from contract if buyers agree to no concessions
Girlfriends mom had to list her house due to a divorce. She wanted to list the house for 950k but the realtor listed it for 850k saying that there will be a bidding war. There are now offers for 850k and 855k but the mom wants to hold off for 950k. The realtor is now upset saying this is not how this works and that she has to pick an offer or she will sue for fees.
So, they won't hire anyone??? What moron doesn't bail when a better opportunity presents itself?

The realtor will win in court. If you listed for $850k and the realtor brought in a buyer "ready willing and able" to buy at $855k without other contingencies, you owe the commission. What matters is what is written in the listing contract, as written beats oral in contracts.

One of the sales wiennie's at this development was trying to get me to buy some land. I understand that is their job, but the salesman seemed to be oblivious to the economy and market. They are programmed to say "it's a great time to buy" over and over again. :-(
