NEW JERSEY to be specific on area..
Here's the run down, Nov 2010 I saw a house with a realtor, fell in love put in an offer, offer was accepted but never made it to attorney review because we werent "able" financially to buy. House went off the market a Month Later. Now April 2011, 5 Months later, the house is back on market and we are Financially able to buy, do I need to use the same agent I used before???
We called her and she hasn't answer us. I may have signed an agreement but im not sure. I have already put an offer on another house with another agent but we dropped it because it had to much to repair. Now we see this one came back on market and want it.
Unless the original agent didn't perform to your satisfaction and there's no agency agreement, find someone that is knowledgeable and a good buyers agent. Out of curiosity, why are you using different agents?
It sounds as if the original agent may be avoiding you. I would try again to get in touch with them, but don't hold up your progress waiting on them to show interest. If that agent is avoiding you now, you can't trust them to represent your interests. Whatever you do, don't make the mistake I did. I thought it would be ok when the agency represented me and the seller. Wrong answer! That did not happen when I sold, but my agency still represented the buyer instead of me. I went off on my agent when I found out that the buyer was a new employee of the other agency. The entire deal smacked of one real estate agency scratching the back of another, at my expense. I do not trust realtors.
I wouldn't say wasted her time! I gave a quick synapsis of what happened.
When you made the original offer, why didn't you already know you were not financially able to buy?
The realtor could very well be ignoring you.
Perhaps the realtor feels you should already have been preapproved before negotiating terms on the house last time, and fears being burned again.
Maybe you should leave the realtor a message stating that you've got an approval from whatever bank you are using, for whatever amount needed to purchase the house, and you'd like a return call so that you can write up an offer.
Tell the realtor you need to hear back within a certain time. If you don't hear back, find another realtor.
Email the first agent and let her know you tried calling her with no return call. Explain the situation and give her your info again to call you back. By emailing her, you will have a paper trail just incase.
Also, if you can, do a read receipt.

There couldn't have been more than a day or two between your offer being accepted and you figuring out you could't buy. So what happened?
