I wish you would read my other posts. I was boxed up and ready to go and had movers set up. If my agent would have told me what they could and probably will do I would have moved to all of my things to a storage unit and gone to a motel. No big deal. The point I am trying to make is why didn't she tell me. I don't know the real estate rules. I thought she wAS suppossed to look out for my best interests and guide me through the process. Not just assume that I knew what was going on.
Because you said you didn't get a response from your realtor, which most people would assume that they either hadn't been able to ask or the answer was no. You keep asking and insisting on an answer before deciding it's the answer that you want. I'm not sure why you assumed you could stay when your contract indicated otherwise and your realtor had not gotten back to you to let you know that you could amend yr contract. I guess that is the part I'm confused about.

If she failed you, it was as your friend, not as your real estate agent.
At any rate, it is behind you now. Best of luck to you in your new home.
I deal with people like you every day at work (no I'm not a realtor) - people who would rather let someone else - anyone else - take control of their life rather than taking control themselves. This is what happens when that is how you go thru life. If you had taken control of any one aspect of this move it would have gone a bit smoother. Take control of the whole thing and there would have been no issues at all. But it's easier to play the victims and blame others.
The next day the movers didn't get there until 12 pm to move my stuff into storage. They were terrible. They forgot or stole and rock crystal my father had bought for my mom, the bird bath, extension ladder, a regular ladder, all of my plants, my ipad, $660 out of my sock drawer, a vacuum, my ironing board and a few more things.
You were packed and ready to go and somehow had $660 sitting in your sock drawer?!?!?!?
Seriously, you aren't comprehending this situation. The house no longer belonged to you the second escrow closed. Your realtor (thankfully) was able to get a three day extension. These extensions don't just go on as long as you want, or as long as you need to stay.
IT WAS NO LONGER YOUR HOUSE!!!!
The new owners did not have to be polite to you. You were trespassing.
The agent did not have to "warn" you that this can happen. It's common knowledge.
Yes they owned the house but I just can't imagine throwing someone out on the streets. I would have paid them for a few more days to get my things out.
If I was the buyer and I showed up with MY key to MY new house and I opened the door and saw you. I would of shut the door and called the cops from the start. I wouldn't even speak to you. And you can be darn sure I would pursue this to its fullest extent.
You got lucky.

I am in my new house and the owners haven't even moved into their new house yet. It was there's and they weren't nice about asking me to leave. The son and the dad came into the house screaming at me. There was no need to treat me like that I had no idea this was going to happen. I don't think either of them would have wanted their wives spoken to the way they treated me. I have never been so disrespected in all my life. I told my realtor I didn't want to see her again when 15 minutes after they were yelling at me she still hadn't said anything to anyone. She knew this was going to happen. Why else was she there? She knew it was going to happen and she should have prepared me for it. She isn't just my realtor. We have been friends for many years. She should have told me what could happen.
Again, you got lucky, a lot of people would of called the cops.

Then why the heck didn't you do that? This makes no sense.

This isn't your Realtors fault. You're a grown woman, you shouldn't have to be told what can happen if you don't move out of a house you sold.
Thank you - - - I laughed so hard! Honestly I cannot believe that any adult, no anyone over age 3, would expect to be able to stay in a house once they don't own it!
Your realtor is not only fine, but a saint for putting up with you, IMO.
Next time do the normal thing: rent an apartment or find an extended stay place, and move to it until your final destination is available. Or put your stuff in storage and stay with a friend.
Ok I am wrong. It's ok to do this but my realtor should have warned me I think of what could and will happen.
So she should have warned you to follow the contract or the buyers might be irate? You said you were moving into a retirement community so you aren't a 20-year-old. I think the expectation was that you are a mature adult capable of understanding consequences of your actions. To me, it would be disrespectful to tell an older, mature client, by the way, if you aren't out people will yell at you. That would be condescending and demeaning to them. If I said that, I'm assuming you aren't an intelligent or considerate human being. So you agent should have assumed you were an inconsiderate and non-intelligent human being?
You had an option to move out and chose not to, so you created a negative experience for yourself. You can't see how rude and disrespectful you were to the buyers of your home?
