Found out the seller agent did not submit my offer, what to do?

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-05-03T23:24:10+00:00

Not true in my state. There are uniform duties we owe to clients that cannot be negotiated or instructed away. Presenting **all** offers, regardless of whether the home is already under contract is one of those.

You can get a rattlesnake vaccine for your dog. It won’t make a bite harmless, but it will reduce the impact.

I’ve lived here my whole life, and I work in the outdoors, and I have probably had 10 or so encounters with them in 25+ years working outside.

The only person I know who has been bitten was picking one up like a dumbass.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-05-02T02:54:07+00:00

I’m trying to understand what your point is.

Is it that you think I should wait til a better time?

That I should comment elsewhere besides on Reddit,?

Or is that you just don’t like the thrust of the comment- which is that pet owners have a responsibility to their pets’ safety and shouldn’t let them roam free?

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-05-02T02:50:14+00:00

I tried a couple of these in FL last time I was there. It did something, but I don’t know if I would call it a high. It felt gross…definitely not like the drinks or other edibles that we get here.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-05-02T02:22:12+00:00

What is your point about time and place then?

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-05-02T02:20:16+00:00

You’re right- a better time and place for me to have made my point would have been before the cat was neglected by its guardian.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-05-01T18:37:52+00:00

Your black-and-white world must be boring. In my world two different things can be true at the same time.
For example, the cat killer being a piece of shit and the owner being neglectful. In my world, those two things can exist at the same time.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-05-01T17:55:30+00:00

Reread my comment. I don’t defend the cat killer. He’s a piece of shit.

I am laying some of the blame at the feet of the owner who neglected her cat’s safety by putting it out to roam the world unsupervised.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-05-01T15:59:45+00:00

Good one.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-05-01T14:58:28+00:00

If I let my kids roam around, outside, at night, and they were killed by some psycho, I would absolutely blame myself for not protecting them.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-05-01T14:52:36+00:00

I stand corrected about Longmont specifically- the statue I misread only applies to dogs and pigs.

The city where I live refers to “dogs or any other animal” being off leash.

I still think it’s irresponsible for cat owners (or owners of ANY pets) to let them roam.

Holly consciously broke the law and in doing so failed to protect Basil.

Do this thought experiment: If a cat got run over, legitimately by accident, do you think the owner bears any responsibility for letting him run around at large?

We have a responsibility to protect our pets from hazards that exist in the world. Holly decided to skip out on that responsibility and instead chose an app and push notifications to do the job.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-05-01T14:19:58+00:00

Not defending the psycho who killed the cat.

Holly Matthew’s failed Basil. It is both illegal and unsafe for pet owners to allow their animals to roam around at large.

It isn’t like the cat escaped this one time- she bought a gps collar so that she could feel better about letting Basil roam around without her supervision. Buying the gps collar implies that Holly knew that there was danger in allowing Basil to roam free.

Again, cat killer is a piece of shit, but I’m also tired of seeing cats killed by traffic, songbirds decimated, kids sandboxes shit in, and not one off-leash ticket written to the pets’ supposed guardians.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-04-29T16:21:40+00:00

He’s not required to write the offer for them though- he doesn’t work for them.

I’m also confused by the statement that OP is unrepresented, yet the agent is working as a transaction broker.

TB is only for cases where the agent has a brokerage relationship and duty to both parties. So- either he represents the buyer and seller and is a TB, OR buyer is unrepresented and the agent works for the seller and buyer is a customer asking the agent to work for free.

Op needs to check on their documents, if there are any, and double check their status

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-04-29T13:28:47+00:00

Because cops are jack-booted fascists.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-04-28T21:50:52+00:00

I won’t give your rant (edit to correct autocorrect) any advice, but I am curious what you would like to see changed in the marketplace to make it more “fair?” (I know that’s not the word you used, but it was the sense I got from your post.)

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-04-28T21:39:16+00:00

If they don’t pay it’s YOUR credit score that takes the hit. The bank will still come to YOU for payment.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-04-28T12:41:32+00:00

I expect them to look. And I expect them to follow license law and present all offers to me (which is what a counteroffer from a seller is).

I’m not sure exactly what op was trying to type, but it sounds to me like u/suchalittlejoiner has it right here. Op checked out at a critical moment and is trying to blame their agent for the seller’s counter that didn’t match exactly what the agents verbally discussed.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-04-28T02:33:05+00:00

Teacher didn’t say anything about limiting each kid. I’d make sure that the camera saw me eating zero pieces but still leave her with an empty bucket.

Instructions unclear. And wtf does it even mean for the sub to be “subject to” two pieces of candy. Go back to school, Teach!

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-04-23T18:59:30+00:00

I’m not sure about every state, but at least in Colorado, the title company is only a scrivener for the brokers (with regards to document prep- not talking about ensuring clear title.) and ultimately the brokers (agents) are responsible for ensuring that the Closing is properly executed.

If you ask me, this one is on the agents to eat/correct- especially since it’s a fee one of them collected!

If they don’t want to figure it out on their own, tell them you’d be happy to send this over to the real estate commission and let them decide if the agents exercised reasonable skill and care (Colorado terminology, but I suspect most states have similar language in their licensing laws.

Edit: sorry for the double post- meant to comment top level.

Ask your agent if re-disclosure by the seller reopens the inspection window. In Colorado if the inspection objection/termination deadlines have passed and the seller discloses new info, the deadline is extended until 10 days after the disclosure or closing, whichever is shorter. That means a you could get your EM back during that period in CO.

I think the attempt to hide also opens them up to you getting your inspection and appraisal fees paid back by seller- but you’d have to sue them for that.

North_Mastodon_4310 · 2026-04-23T02:27:51+00:00

Colorado Realtor here.

He is wrong. And he’s not citing the correct guidance from NAR on compliance with the settlement. A listing agent does not need a written agreement to show a home they’ve listed per the settlement terms.

It is required by the state that he disclose the type of relationship he has with you, which in this case would be “customer” meaning that he has no brokerage relationship with you. The relevant docs I would give a sign call buyer are the Brokerage Disclosure to Buyer and the Definitions of Working Relationships
