Man so my broker that was reccommended was not as hands on as the wife liked
She showed us a few listings in the beginning after the pre approval process and what I'd do is shoot her over a few here or there.... for the most part there wasn't much follow up
What I mean is she wasnt looking very much, gave me a site to look myself but that was it. Mind you we started this in November and the holidays and whatnot were around so there were times where I'd get email responses like "I will check when im in the office"... which might've been a couple of days later or so
Other than that, no proactive listings were sent to me so im pretty sure that pre approval has expired... no call, no email, no urgency.. and the wife was no happy
She emailed the agent 2 Friday's ago, and the lady just sent a follow up email on today... needless to say its too late because the wife had decided she didn't feel the love and that the agent wasn't doing the kind of work she was really looking for.
Mind you the lady is very sweet and probably very busy, but there are things that were brought up that the Mrs didn't like... such as
Ok, she's not even emailing saying hey im busy but I haven't forgotten about you guys, or you know... if she's not talking to us much now, what about all the time sensitive things, and escrow and so forth... so the more I thought about it the more I was inching away from her
I picked a lady I knew from some time ago, old friend that does real estate just to get her views on some home stuff, and she proactively without trying to work for us just started sending me stuff and looking around for me and telling me things so we just went with her and she is hyper excited and looking all the time, came by gave us sample mortgage papers and showed us more listings, then took us to a place after we were done
In the process, I've been approved through my credit union for a much lower rate.. in the 3% range and up to 500k... which no im not going to max out
Lots more but thats a small update... how do I tell the other agent we aint using her though.. .I never answered her email
