 I don't disagree  however the code of ethics hearing is coming up August 28. I think the commission felt there was enough evidence to warrant a hearing. We will see what happens 

I got a print out and letter that indicates the owners knew and the listing agent knew early on he was going to buy the house as he stated I knew I could get it for much cheaper than listed 10 days before I made my offer. The house was on the market for two weeks when I made my offer. He got a call from a agent the evening I made my offer ( conveniently after no offers) saying she has a client who wants to offer 400 thousand. He advised me the owner was taking that offer. Gave me no opportunity to negotiate, increase my offer or put in back up offer. April 27th the MLS showed the house under contract from April 27th closing 5/10. April 28th the disappeared from MLS and reappeared a few hours later listed under the listing agent fathers name. He the bought the house for 344 thousand dollars and had the owners sign a paper saying they knew he was buying the house only to sale it to the person who made the 400 thousand dollars offer. Her deal was originally declined along with mine because the owners were offended by my questions about the house before my offer and were afraid I would ask for too money for repairs. My offer was cash, as is no contingency. They were afraid of the other offer because of financing issues. So he bought the house with the owners knowing that he was going to make 65 dollars profit and sold May 12 to the girl who made the 400 thousand dollars offer. He should have given me an opportunity to negotiate or raise my offer. He had no intention of losing that profit of 65 thousand

I agree but feel I also lost the opportunity to buy my dream home. But yes they were absolutely screwed 

Finding an attorney that does not cost an arm a leg and two children 

I understand.  

Thanks Matt. We will see what the Real Estate commission does. 

If attorneys  were not telling me different I would agree but they are saying that a contract was formed when the seller made their counter offer 

Yes that is correct. He text while sitting with the sellers that they wanted to counter 

I did say that.  Finding an attorney and talking to an attorney are two different things. I was told I had a case but the guy was asking for 10 thousand retainer lol Laugh 😆
