Realtor presenting offers

He received the offer last evening. But he said he was drinking a few beers and didn’t want to have to call all the other agents to give them a chance to beat the offer so he just let it expire.. And told me about it the next morning

Yes and a good agent would have contacted the first offer to see if they would up the offer with a competing bid on the table.

That agent would no longer be working for me! “Drinking a few beers” and you lost out on a higher offer. That agent and the brokerage he worked for would not like me after this. LOL

Would I have any recourse to sue him for not doing his job. He has admitted to me on text message that he did receive the offer

If the offer comes back to the table then I’m OK but if it doesn’t and I lose 20-30k

I am being present at all offers this afternoon I think he really hopes that that high offer comes back on the table.

your agent is a moron. report to reco for incompetence. he is obligated to present all offers. he should have held an offer night yesterday.

the a key difference between a good agent and a shit one is responsiveness. this guy doesn't know what he is doing. do yourself a favor and terminate the listing and make sure there is no holdover period on your listing agreement.

wow

I'd be pretty pissed, hopefully they come back today or you'd have grounds to go after this idiot. The only question I have is how long was the big offer irrevocable for?

Im pissed for you and wish you luck today, please keep us posted.

Unfortunately even if you ask for a 48 hr irrevocable on all offers, it is whatever is listed in the purchase agreement that matters legally. You must get the offer back to thrm prior to that time for it to be valid.

The over list offer that came in I assume was given to him around 6 PM and the guy(buyer) said this will expire at 11 PM tonight. My realtor called it a bully offer, that was Friday night.

Also, how much commission is he charging you?

5%

Get rid of him now!!! He’s obviously incompetent.

The buyer or his agent would likely have tried to contact the listing agent multiple times to confirm that you guys had received their offer.

Did he even forward you the offer for your review in the end?

Lol sounds like no f is given by your agent.

Btw out of curiosity, did you by chance instruct him that you would not be accepting any preemptive offers?

I did not say I would not except any preemptive offers.. He was out drinking and he said he wasn’t in any shape to make phone calls to other agents to counter offer or whatever

I will definitely seek legal advice if this offer is not back on the table

That wasn't his decision to make, It is a failure in his duty to do what is best for you and carry out his fiduciary duty.

Hopefully there is a very large fine or even loss of ability to trade in real estate in his future because of this.

Do not attempt to cancel the listing!

Seems like there is a time set for later today for reviewing any offers, You can instruct your agent to contact the other agent via email to resubmit and cc you or you can even contact them yourself.

I'm in same situation right now. My client's offer which is the 2nd in response to a bully offer is about to expire and not one word has been sent out that this offer is in.
