Loan Officer Called Listing Agent

[Deon Knott]

Good Morning BP,

My loan officer called the listing agent without my request or consent. I don't believe any foul play is afoot, just a very enthusiastic and motivated loan officer. Which is typically a great thing! It does leave me feeling a bit uncomfortable though because he continues to reach out unprompted and confusimg some of the communication between my agent and the listing agent. Also, since I have never requested that my loan officer reach out I'm left a bit uneasy as to the extent of information is being shared. Especially since they have worked together before. Again, I believe my loan officer is a good guy and just trying to close a loan. I'm just not familiar with this play and since I didn't ask for it, it makes me uncomfortable. I don't have anything to hide. I just feel that this activity could be a conflict of interest. Had I asked him to reach out I wouldn't be bothered at all. Am I blowing this out of proportion or are my concerns valid?

Hi @Deon Knott, he is probably trying to get the listing agent to be a referral partner of his.

Reaching out that many times to confuse the buying agent is too much and probably not good for his relationship with your agent.

If you ask him to stop, he should stop.
