unhappy flat fee lister
I'm selling my house in Arizona via FSBO. I used a flat fee lister for the local mls. He just called to ask if I had a contract. When I asked where that question came from, he said he heard it was appraised. I said it was. He asked again if I had a contract. I said I do. Then he told me I was to let him know those things, he needs to update the listing. I looked on the mls and my house is not there. I suppose he removed it prior to calling me. It was there two days ago. He said he needs a copy of the contract, and needs to update the listing. I told him I would send him a copy.
How would he have found out about the appraisal? There are no other agents involved. He did ask about that, too. He's unhappy that I would not rent a keysafe from him, and would not hire him to help with any contract negotiations.
He told me he needs to know when it sells so he can report it to the state. That's all he told me some time ago. It's not sold yet. Not until the papers are signed.
I had wondered, and asked him, a few weeks ago if there weren't any offers, why not? I wouldn't have been surprised if he held a few back, as he is unhappy that I'm not falling all over his offers of help. If I wanted an agent involved, I would have hired a local agent, not one two hundred miles away.
Now I'm unhappy. I really did not want my listing changed, I have no idea what will happen, and I did want back up offers if any came in.
