Our experience with one of the markler was, unfortunately, very negative. We contacted her with a serious interest in the property and with fully prepared finances. Despite this, we did not receive any response from her for an entire week. Communication on her part was basically nonexistent.
Since we did not want to waste any more time, we had to arrange the viewing of the property ourselves – directly through the owner, as the agent was unable to respond. We also submitted our offer directly to the owner (we were ready to purchase the property for the full asking price), because markler did not communicate with us at all, even though we repeatedly emailed her.
What made the situation even worse was finding out from another person that the agent told the owner we had not submitted any offer to her – which is completely absurd. We have verifiable email communication in which we informed her that we were submitting the offer to the owner, and we also asked to present it to her as well in person so we could proceed with the next steps, as we were prepared to pay the full amount immediately.
We consider this approach to be highly unprofessional, unreliable, and absolutely unacceptable for any serious buyer. In the future – even a simple reply such as “the property has been sold” is still a reply. We are truly disappointed and sad of this situation.
