What to do about a dud realtor?

[Jesse Aaron]

I’ve made an offer on a house using a realtor I had met only once before (I’m new to the this). She seemed great until my offer was accepted and I signed the contract. Since then she’s hard to get in touch with, very short and seems disinterested. I’m in my last day of the inspection period. The inspector found a few issues (see my post about electrical concerns) so I made a second offer earlier this week asking for a $1,000 allowance after closing to help cover the $3,500 quote the electrician gave me. The realtor won’t answer the phone. I texted “have you heard anything? Don’t we have to make a deal by the end of the day?” She writes back “no an yes.” What do I do? I’m in too deep to fire her. I’ve already signed the contract. Do I go over her head and try to contact to sellers realtor? What happens if they just ignore it? Is the deal dead or am I held to the original offer even tho it was contingent on the inspection being satisfactory?

If you think you are in your last day of the inspection period and your agent is non-responsive, you need to go above the agent and contact her broker ASAP.  Find out which office she works for, call the office and ask for the broker / office manager and explain the issues.
