My listing agent w/ Long and Foster designated a fellow Long & Foster agent to be the Selling Agent. I never met the Selling Agent. The selling agent wrote the MLS listing which didn't list any of the home's outstanding qualities. Then the Selling Agent, suddenly acting as a Buyer's Agent (she refers to herself as Buyer's Agent in documentation and the settlement attorney refers to her the paperwork as the Buyer's Agent) makes an offer on my house on behalf of her client exclusively. Not a single agent or private individual toured the home. I later discovered that she made the offer to purchase BEFORE entering the house on the MLS system. Can this be legal?

I told the listing agent (the only agent with whom I ever had personal contact)that I need to take the house off the market for a while because my teenage son had just been diagnosed with lymphoma. The very day that I asked him to take the house off the market is when the other agents (selling agent and buyer's agent) entered the listing on the MLS.

The selling/buyer's agent was somehow aware of my son's health problems although I had not told anyone other than the listing agent and close family. Can the listing agent share information of this nature with a Buyer's agent?

She made me an offer which was way too low but I was unaware of it. It gets much worse involving her refusal to leave my home, entering whenever she wanted to, had construction workers in every single day from 6am till 230 pm, except Sunday, during my two month rent back period.

She (the selling/Buyer's agent) is no longer w/ Long and Foster at their request and her license has been forwarded to the Board of Realtors for review. She is refusing to return the escrow money and hasn't given me any reason why or any documentation. She is unavailable to me and to her previous employer. The listing agent has relocated to Florida and has no forwarding info on phone or email.

I know there are honest realtors out there. Will someone kindly give me some guidance. It would be greatly appreciated.

Contact an attorney and have them send a letter to Long and Foster. There are oh so many crimes here in addition to breach of fiduciary duty.
