Jason was much disengaged from our transaction. I gave him the benefit of the doubt when his suggested listing price was $120,000 off from what he intended to send over. After a month of no action I figured out that he had incorrect contact info on the MLS site. He was very reluctant to hold an open house at my request. 9 weeks later finally hosted an open house and received an offer where he implied that I would be stuck with the house for a year if I didn’t take the low offer. A short back and forth and I accepted the low offer on condition he reduced his commission by $2,000 in an email. My advice is to be sure you write everything in the contract accepting nothing in good faith as he has failed to uphold the agreement and considers our file as closed as I had signed the closing documents. $23,898.00 to hire a realtor to put a posting on MLS then pressure you to take any deal for the sale

I can appreciate Jamie’s frustration with the condition of our current market, but the facts do not support his claims. I represented Jamie for the sale of his home. His home was located in a market that had less than five similar sales for the previous 12 months. As of today’s date (October 3, 2018) the average price / sq ft for homes in this market is $254 with an average days on the market of 126. Jamie’s home sold in 74 days for $283 / sq ft. At the time he accepted the contract, it was the highest price per square in his price range, and the second highest year to date. All conveyancing adjustments were made in writing and are clear for anyone who wishes to review. Jamie I invite you review the statement of adjustments provided to you by your lawyer, you will find everything to be in order.
