What is the role of a real estate facilitator and what does the buyer need to disclose?
Renting & Real Estate Comments OffMy husband and I are currently looking to buy a home in Massachusetts. We have had a run-in with two real estate salespersons in regards to our “ethics”. We are first time home buyers and we were under the impression that, when signing the disclosure, we were using the salesperson ONLY as a facilitator. We did not disclose that we have several family members who are in the business, as we had not discussed our home-buying with them. After viewing a few houses with a facilitator, a week later, we decided it would be in our best interest to use a family member as our buying agent. We have recieved both phone calls and emails from two salespeople of an extremely unprofessional manner. What should we do in this situation? Were we in the wrong? Are we in a position to file a ligitimate complaint?
