The first time I met the agent, I told him that I wasn't working with any other agent and that he…read morewould be my agent. He followed up with me for several days, and I started working with his broker. Unfortunately, his broker was not very professional.
I had already put down $300,000 and owned another home that was fully paid off and worth about $550,000. Yet the broker told me I needed to put down $600,000 to buy a home priced at $850,000 .
After that, I went to another broker and got pre-approved almost immediately. I qualified for the home without any problems. All I can say is that they were not very professional.
In my opinion, Simon seemed focused only on money. I felt that he was trying to earn commissions from both sides. When I decided not to use his broker, my offer was not accepted, and I was told that another offer had been accepted instead.
That was my experience, and it left me feeling that my interests were not the priority.
