So I've been working with this buyer for a month or so now. One of my Realtor friends (Representing the Seller) was trying to get her into a home down the street, but the seller was not very into "creative finance" and not very flexible, so the buyer's poor credit caused them to not be able to get into the house.
I called the Buyer after getting my realtor friend's OK, and chatted with her about how we might be able to do a private deal with her, and do something creative to allow me to make her down payment, and get her into the home, etc...
Welp, just as it's looking like we're going to close at the end of the month -- I get a call from the Buyer's slimey former Realtor today (From the failed transaction above), telling me that she needs to be "Protected" and that she needs "Representation" and maybe buying a house right now isn't even the right thing for her, and maybe she should just wait a year or 2.... Basically threatening to blow my deal -- Like she is the F'ing MAFIA or something, wanting to be bought off!
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and so I went off on this lady.... Responding that she had her chance to do a deal with this buyer and failed miserably... If I am able to put something together for her privately, with the help of one of my realtor buddies (Who is working for free, with no commission -- just as a pal) -- Then she has absolutely no right to come in and start demanding anything from me. "Yes -- she needs to be protected, from blood suckers like you!"
Why is it that whenever anybody finds out in this world that you are making a profit, they feel like they have a RIGHT to stick their hand in your pocket?
I'm liable to report her to the board of Realtors... what do you guys think -- do I have a case here? Does she?
