house searching asked:
My husband and I used a real estate agent and made an offer on a house. Our real estate agent is a woman and we felt like she was not negotiating well with the seller's agent. My father in law managed to talk and convince the seller's real estate agent to take us seriously but we had to offer higer and use him as our real estate agent. Can we get sued by our real estate agent or her office by signing a new contract with another agent? Yes we signed papers with her stating that she would represent us.

Hi Searching,
Ok, as much as I dont care for RE agents, this was not a good thing to do. In this case you should have stepped up to the plate and told your agent you are using someone else.
The contract you signed is a problem, basically what it means is they get paid whether you use them or not.
From what you have written – you crazy girl- dont offer higher, ***** thier agent – sheez. The most powerful tool in any negotiation is the ability to say NO and walk away. You do not want to use the sellers agent anyway they have a contract to represent the seller NOT YOU!! this is the best way to get taken for a ride!!

the first post is right – now it could cost you the price of BOTH realtors – you weren’t thinking and the sellers agent got exactly what he wanted – you agreed to pay more for the house – bad news – you got ****** in big time. Your agent was doing their job – protecting you from what you just put yourself into. good luck – it will now cost you alot more since you will get to pay both realtors – I’d cancel it all & run as far as you can get away from it – if you can
