I really don't think that's true at all. At least not with my broker. She was with me every step of the way. I felt that the title company didn't care, but the broker was definitely working for me. I know it can seem that way.I figure the brokers are working for the seller, not the buyer. Once the seller accepts my offer, I figure both the broker and the seller don't care about me at all as if Disney takes the contract they still get paid. In fact, the broker probably hopes the contract gets taken so I am still in the market for another contract. Therefore I have very little expectations of the broker.
I agree- I mean, I definitely get the idea that the seller is the first customer, but if, as a buyer, I were unhappy with a broker's service, I would be less likely to go through them or recommend them- there are lots of other brokers to choose from! But, at least Rick was getting good news! I wish we had our closing documents already! (sigh)I really don't think that's true at all. At least not with my broker.

Few brokers have exclusivity clauses, so they hurt when sellers decide to sell with another broker or walk away.I agree- I mean, I definitely get the idea that the seller is the first customer, but if, as a buyer, I were unhappy with a broker's service, I would be less likely to go through them or recommend them- there are lots of other brokers to choose from!

I submitted 8/13. Still no word. Was hoping to get the ball rolling before school starts... Oh well.
Such a long wait, just to have it ripped away. So much time wasted now back to the grind of looking.

So sorry to hear. Almost two months for ROFR? Was this a delayed closing?
Sending pixie dust your way. I have only positive thoughts. Good luckHaven't heard back yet - when we lost the first contract they took forever... I hope that's not happening again!! I have a vacation to plan!
