well i have to say...i agree

i think it is never a smart move to use the lawyers and mortgage co that your real estate agent recommends

And i think i would be very pissy with your home inspector if you are having this many issues with your house....

not understanding about what is going on with your Escrow....Chat Icon

But i hope it all works out for you

Ro....you aren't going to "get in trouble" for what you wrote

Re: dh and i wanted to warn ya's

In addition to separate mortgage broker and lawyer, I also used an outside inspector than the one the RE agent recommended, I felt like they would all be in cahoots with each other!

ETA: Sorry about your experience. I'll keep that in mind @ Weichert

Re: dh and i wanted to warn ya's

I think it is something for everyone to keep in mind when buying...

Going with a group of people that all linked somehow...IMO isn't a smart move.

They, IMO will be looking out for each other NOT YOU.

Re: dh and i wanted to warn ya's

I ended up using the realtors Mortgage company because there was stuff going on with DH that he new about and I didnt want to take the chance of going through someone else and not getg a mortgage. Our lawyer too is through them and so far we havent had problems.

So sorry that you are dealing with this. So many crooked people lately - it's really heartbreaking. Definitely stand your ground on this.

I also agree - it's not a wise idea to blindly use an inspector, lawyer or mortgage broker especially when they come recommended by the RE Agent involved. I can't help but believe that there is some under the table kickback involved with that circle of recommendations. Not to say that it happens all the time but I am always weary of it. We smile and say thanks when RE Agents offer but never accept. We have a separate broker, lawyer and inspector that we found through trusted family and friend recommendations.

Good luck with all this. Chat Icon
