URGENT: Can a buyer real estate agent be changed before closing?
Hi guys,
I need some urgent advise.
I am experiencing something that I didn't think could be the case.
I am about to close on a condominium in Virginia Beach and am completely out of sync with my buyer side agent. I don't know if I will be able to close unless I change my representative.
As much as I am not feeling good about doing it, I cannot see the alternative. And I know for sure, I am not going to work with her on further transactions.
So, the question is, how can it be done with least pain?
I still want her to get at least a portion of commission and would hope that a new agent will share it with her as practically all the leg work is done.
We just need to submit closing extension (today) because there is no way I can close on Monday, logistically.
Now, I don't know how the seller could view the agent change at the same time as I am requesting a closing extension. He might grant it, he might not.
My offer was cash, no inspection, 10 days closing. I don't believe it should be as hard as it's been so far with this deal.
I really need help with this.
