Avoiding Real Estate Nightmares What’s a real estate nightmare? According to real estate agents in Culver City and other places, they can pop up anytime! Here are some examples gleaned from across the industry: •
One agent realized got tipped off by a neighbor that the buyers of the home she had sold had moved in before escrow closed. They also transferred the utilities. Somehow they had got their hands on the keys. The agent had to explain they couldn’t occupy the house until the sale was complete, including property transfer.
•
Another agent insisted that her client do a property inspection before moving forward on the deal, but he declined. He went to the escrow company and demanded the keys as the sale was closing or he said he would scrap the deal. When the escrow company relented and gave him the keys, he went to the property and claimed the cabinets were damaged and canceled the sale.
•
One agent had viewed a house so she thought she knew what to expect while she was showing it. But she had viewed it on a sunny day, and on the day of the showing it was pouring and rainwater was flooding out of the fireplace!
•
Another agent was showing a house for the first time. The living room walls were covered with shelves filled with vases. A sign on a door upstairs said “World’s Greatest Mortician.” Were the vases urns? Were they holding ashes? She didn’t go back to find out.
•
Finally, an agent brought clients to view a large house for sale that seemed appropriate, but they hadn’t realized that it had been transformed – into a boarding house! And not just any
boarding house! Every room, every closet, every available space had been sealed off and locked and filled with tenants!
