In my jurisdiction, the realtor would have to have the client sign a document indicating they received a kickback on an inspector referral if there is one. Of course, preparing documents for realtors I've never done one of those. It's more likely that the inspector works with them often and they have trust. Also it's industry practice to suggest you use your own home inspector and at most provide a name if asked for one (do you have any you recommend? "I've before worked with xyz and it worked out").

Open houses are 99% the client expectation. Nobody wants to work an open house. Usually open houses are only to placate anxious sellers, as they view it as "part of the job". I've never known a realtor to push an open house, and often they end up paying junior agents to cover them since they don't accomplish anything except a 1% chance the junior agent could end up with a buyer client.

Also, when buying, you don't pay a dollar in real estate fees, so you saved $0 by doing it yourself. Congrats. Seller pays both realtors, when they use one. If you want to sell a house without a realtor, have at it. If you can market it yourself and make sure you have all your ducks in a row when it comes time to sign the offer, not miss any latent defect disclosures and meet all the other requirements, then great!

lol they tell you an open house is to find potential buyers, when it's to actually find new clients for them. they tell you that it's in your best interest to use their home inspector, who gives them a kickback and hides issues. they tell you that it's a sellers market if you're selling and they say it's a buyer's market if you're buying. They tell you that you NEED to have a realtor even in a market where the average on-market time is 15 days. They literally lie through their teeth. "i worked in a real estate office" no wonder you're defending that entire fucked up den of losers and thieves. Fuck the entire industry. I've bought every house I've owned without a realtor saving me tens of thousands of dollars EACH TIME. We don't have realtors when we sell a used car, you don't need a realtor to sell a house.

Not sure how things work with your carrier, but I can log into my mobile account and get my call detail. If you can remember an exact time you spoke with him, then you could get the number.

Damn bro, been there before. Honestly, let it cool off and surprise her with flowers/gift. There is that fine line of waiting too long and going too soon. You know her best but texting and apologizing only made it worse for me since she was still pissed off. She knows deep inside it was an honest mistake so just let time do it’s thing.

Lying to clients? That's be illegal. Not to mention (having worked in a real estate office, while not being a realtor), that isn't standard practice at all. If your agent lies to you, you can sue them. Where are the millions of lawsuits citing such cases?

Realtors aren't even allowed to lie to other realtors, at most they can omit unless specifically asked.
