I showed this house (my buyer) with the listing agent, who also works in my office, then found out a few days later that the buyers had called me at work and I was out, no one gave them my cell number, so the other agent told them she could write the contract, so does this mean I am completely cut out of the deal. She has been avoiding me and I can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone.Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

You shouldn't be. Go up to them and ask them directly. Talk with your managing broker. If they cut you out of the deal you should go find someone else to work for... IMHO.

Sounds like you work for ReMax.

1. Take it to your broker.
2. Give your clients your cell phone in the future.

That would not be tolerated in this office. The other Broker/Agent would be out the door! (I've seen it happen)

isnt this what they call when you have directed someone to purchase a home and someone tries to grab your deal?

You sound like a wannabe who couldn't run with the big dogs

Go directly to your broker. File an ethics complaint with your DBPR. That commission belongs to you and you alone! Don't let this other agent get away with it.

I'll have to disagree with the "big dogs" generalization. I worked with RE/MAX for two and a half years and I saw this happen quite often. As a matter of fact, when it finally happened to me, that's when I left. The Qualifying Broker was doing this to agents in the same office! Nice, huh?

I know that this should not be considered the norm for all RE/MAX agencies, but I've heard this same story and the big balloon seems to have a part in the story many times. I have many good friends who work with different RE/MAX offices & are ethical, so I'm not saying that everyone associated with or RE/MAX in general is unethical! There are sorry excuses for agents in every area and agency, no matter the franchise.

You have to remember that each Re/Max office is a seperate brokerage. People will get away with what is allowed. If that broker allows agents to do things that might not seem ethical you can always look at other brokerages. WE have more re/max brokerages here in southern Ohio than you can imagine and some of the brokers themselves are not to ethical when it comes to renting out desk space.

What's a "DBPR"???

Unfortunately you cannot file an ethics complaint against someone in your own firm.

You need to take this to the broker ASAP.

I'm betting your did not have any sort of buyer agency agreement with these buyers.

Thank you very much to all who replied, no unfortunatly did not have buyers agency agreement, have talked to my broker, don't realy know how this is going to play out, but you live and learn right? And to the wannabe remark, sorry to hear how sad your life is.
