Yes, call the office and talk to the manager.

And walk away from the sale. It is a buyer’s market. You will get more oppotunities to make good buys.

I have to say I find the rant by the buyer to be pretty offensive. with the language he uses (assuming it’s a he), he sounds and acts as much like the asshole realtor he’s complaining about.

takes two people to develop a relationship that’s that fucked up.

I’m afraid that it would be hard to screw your agent out of his commission. You could always fire the agent and resubmit an offer to buy the house contingent on your former agent no longer receiving any commission. But realistically, you should call the agents office and speak to the office manager, or the district manager if that doesn’t work. Ask for another agent from the office to be assigned to your purchase and more than likely you will at least reduce the commission this person will see as he/she would have to split.

I wouldn’t walk from a house just because you don’t like agent.

If you would consider walking, present your agent with a pre-signed letter, with terms stating that he agrees to split his after tax commission with you 50/50 upon payment and demand he sign it. If he doesn’t, than walk.

Good luck.

Your friend is doing handywork for free?? Your REALTOR(R) has got you by the short and curlies. Walk away from this one. You’ll find another house to fall in love with.
