My grandparents are selling their house.
1) the real estate agent (who is also an investor) told my them they couldn’t sell their house for what they wanted. The other houses next door (literally) are going for 245,500-300,000 and my grandparents wanted to sell for 225,000. He said that no one will pay that price given the economy,. We def know different. We know the people in the neighborhood.
2) my grandparents settled to sell their house for 199,000. They lowered it for 1 couple to 195,000. Then we go see on his (Realtor) website later (months) that he changed the price of the house to $195,000, and we also saw this on other websites with current home listings for sale.
can we sue him for lowering it without notification, or is he entitled to do that once we go down on price for someone. Obviously the house is still up for sale; and I am wondering what we can do.
He seems a little shady to us, this is their first house they are selling.
All of the appliances are up-to-date sheesh…better than mines. They have the money for it all. So when i do say my grandparents house please dont think they are extremely old with walkers and canes. They are far from that and are in better health (thank god) than a lot of people their age. Their house is pretty modren and the love it.
And the house has had offers in fact tons, but its not what they want. They are going to take if off the market and might just end up passing it to a grandchild right now. But It’s in a great part of town less than 5 minutes away from the downtown Austin scene.
Well obviously I CAN’T SUE its my grandparents. I am just trying to see if there is anything there or just get a new agent or take it off the market.
but thanks everyone for the help i def appreciate it
As with any legal case, you need to be able to prove your position. While I agree it does sound like the Realtor did keep your grandparents best interests in mind, you may have a hard time proving that in court. But yes to answer your question, you can sue your Realtor.
