She/he is licensed to sell RE in NC period. Whether or not she/he is any good at it would be up for you to determine upon interviewing the agent to see if they can best represent your needs in what is typically one's biggest purchases/investments. References??? Maybe read the website and see the blurb about FL???
Again, I don't mean this as a personal attack, but if you are not moving down here for an immediate job you may want to rethink it.
We are kind and forgiving folk here, but we don't take likely to those who screw up and look to place the blame on others
I agree with Mikey - I think BD has realized he/she could probably have 'purchased' the home for much less and is having buyers remorse. A competent agent would have likely prevented this situation.
Does not matter, we have an opt out on our current house and will cancel the contract. Will wait before we move. This time, I will find a realtor that has experience in NC, knows the area and knows the schools!
So you are saying you will crush someone elses dream now and back out of the contract your buyers for your home have with you?? That doesn't seem very nice
I would say, sell while you have a buyer! You don't know how long it might take to find another one. Then you'll be free to buy the next house you fall in love with WITHOUT contingencies.
Let me take this a step further and perhaps you will see that you are being unreasonable and over-reacting to a non-issue.
When I put an offer on the house I am in right now, here was the situation.
1. My house was under contract and had a closing date set
2. I fully negotiated an offer, which was accepted, by the Seller here in Charlotte.
3. The Seller here not only continued showing the house, it was listed as such in MLS.
4. The Seller was nervous about the fact that my house in KS had not yet sold, so they asked for a larger Escrow Check.
5. I refused to give them a larger Escrow Check.
6. Instead, I gave them a statement from the Buyer's Agent (with the Buyer's permission) for my house that I was selling, stating the terms of my house's sale and the terms of the Buyer's loan (from their lender)
I guess I could have been insulted if I were like you and saw all this as some kind of affront. Instead, I saw it as good business.
If this house that I am now in had not closed, I would have been out of an additional fee that you have not paid, as I paid a structural engineering firm to come in and do a report on this house, at a cost to me (out of pocket) of $850.
Does not matter, we have an opt out on our current house and will cancel the contract. Will wait before we move. This time, I will find a realtor that has experience in NC, knows the area and knows the schools!
So you're doing this just to spite your realtor, now???
If you love the house, which you admitted that you do, why on Earth would you opt out of the contract and wait? I'm very confused here....

. . . Here is the situation: House listed for $350,00, we agree on $330,000. We now have a full contract signed by both parties. We come home from our trip to find the house on the MLS listed for $330,000.
So you are saying you will crush someone elses dream now and back out of the contract your buyers for your home have with you?? That doesn't seem very nice

Like everyone else here BD4, I am seeing this as a non-issue and do not understand why it is bothering you. The spouse and I relocated here 6 years ago, and they kept the house we had an OTP online until a couple of days after we had gone through with the contract and bought the house. No big deal. So they dropped the price 10K online. If it's a great house, let this go. Your Florida realtor is uninformed about NC. Florida is even more of a buyer beware state than NC.
As a side note, if you are currently living in the Brevard County area in Florida, you should be incredibly thankful you have someone who wants to buy your house. You house prices are going to continue to sink like a stone down there because of all that is going on (losing shuttle program, oil spills in FL, very bad economy, etc.) You'd be smart to get out of there now before you can get even less for your house than you are now. Trust me, all the half-backs like it here. We have a few in our neighborhood. Good luck with the move (if you still plan to move) it probably was one of the most stressful experience the spouse and I have had in our many years of marriage.

I got a headache from reading this thread.
