Wow-THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL THESE ANSWERS-I never expected this many responses.

If my current agent had gone the extra mile like you people are doing, I probably would not be asking about firing her.

Here is more information since some of you asked why I want to fire her.

She is really a nice person who I hired because I seemed to connect with easily. A few months into the listing I noticed some odd behavior whenever she was in my home.

As an example:

I mentioned that I could not meet her the next day at her office because I was going out of town. The next day arrived and my appointment was canceled so instead of leaving town, I went shopping for about 2 hours. When I got home, I noticed the agents car parked in my driveway so I quietly came on in thinking that she was showing the house to a client. All of a sudden, I hear water running in the shower in my guest bathroom and I find the agent taking a shower. I didn't want to embarrass her but when she came out she said that she was waiting for a delayed client so I hope that I didn't mind if she freshened up. OK, I'm thinking, she lives a distance away so I'll accept that excuse.

Then there is the time that I overheard her tell an interested potential buyer that she had a better deal down the street so just go through the motions that you are interested.

Then there is the matter of her allowing groups of people to tour my house and they are left unescorted to run through it. I have come home and found personal drawers and my undergarments missing as well as personal items used. Someone even used the toilet for number 2 and left it without flushing and they stuffed and whole roll of paper in it-didn't even take it off of the roll.

Last Friday, I come in from a day of work and I find her waiting for yet another client with her stocking feet up on my coffee table reading a book from my library. I guess that I should be thankful that she at least didn't take it into the shower this time. Then she made this comment that I was out of instant coffee which explains why I keep finding cups in my sink even though everything was washed and put away before I left.

I'm beginning to think that this agent doesn't have a home of her own and really needs this sale.

So what do you think-should I fire her or not. - Tue Mar 18 2008, 10:57
