<p>When buyers qualify for a&nbsp;loan at the beginning of a Lease/Purchase contract, and then a year latter say that they now do not qualify and send letter of denial, is there any recourse and/or proof for the Sellers that the buyers &quot;really&quot; don't qualify?</p>

<p>Has anyone used Alamode.com to host their website? How do you like it?</p>

<p> Does anyone know of a product to help the self employed get financed. My clients were pre-approved yet when it came to light, during job verification prior to closing, that they are business owners, the loan went south! They have owned the business for less than a year having moved from another State. Help please?? </p>

<p>I'm not sure this is the correct venue to ask about this real estate company, so please redirect me if necessary. I've just heard about this company and was wondering if anyone knows more about them and&nbsp;their program.</p> <p>Thank you in advance for your help,</p> <p>Laurie Matthias</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p> <div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">I have a new listing with a signed Listing Agreement with a party relocating to another town. I am working as a Transaction Broker as it's a flat fee listing. About 10 days into the listing I received an email to lower the price. The next afternoon I received a call from a Realtor that stated she was my clients Realtor and that I needed to remove my listing in MLS ASAP. They were going to use the home for an HGTV show called &quot;My First Sale&quot; and she needed to input her listing right away. I told her that this was the first that I'd heard of it. Since I'd been out of the office with a client I had not seen the email from the Seller that stated to remove the listing from MLS as they had hired a Realtor. I had verbally told them that I would terminate the listing with written communication but did not include it in the contract. This is not an issue but rather for informational purposes. Since I had appointments all afternoon It wasn't until 5:30 p.m. before I had time to prepare the paperwork to terminate the Listing Agreement. It was sent via DocuSign at 5:55:28 p.m. to the Seller for the digital signature. The next day I tried to check the web based email server that I use for DocuSogn every hour for the doc as it needed to be forwarded onto the husband for his signature. That morning I received an email from &nbsp;the &quot;new Realtor&quot; she wrote </span></div> <div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt">&ldquo;Just wanted to remind you that I am really anxious to get the Wallums&rsquo; home listed on the MLS, and I can&rsquo;t do that until you remove your active listing.</span></div> <div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt">We are feeling a big time crunch here.</span></div> <div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt">I sure would appreciate it!&rdquo;</span></div> <div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt">&nbsp;</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 9pt">I responded that I had yet to receive the termination addendum signed. I also inform her that she is out of line and needs to wait until we&rsquo;re finished prior to proceeding with her listing. &nbsp;She then ends another email which she says &ldquo;</span><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 9pt">So sorry, did not mean to step on any toes.&nbsp;I was under the impression from speaking with the Wallums that no paperwork had been signed by them, which I thought was strange at the time.&nbsp;I should have been more clear with them.Thanks for clearing up the situation.&nbsp;Obviously I wish to comply with all appropriate contractual agreements.&rdquo;</span></div> <div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">Now I'm starting to get annoyed. Once again I quickly check the email to see if I've received the signed doc but it's not there. Since I've got multiple clients that are requiring a lot my time at this point I move onto something else. Then that afternoon I receive a call from the &quot;Realtor she inquired why I hadn't taken the listing off of MLS as yet. I told her that I hadn't received the signed paperwork as yet but once I receive it the listing will be removed At this point I'm pretty mad. I left a message for the Seller but didn&rsquo;t hear anything back from her. Now I&rsquo;m tired of being harassed and bullied by the other Realtor. The next day there was only communication from the Realtor via the phone and email. I had actually decided that the Seller was obviously not a part of this as she had not signed and sent the docs. &nbsp;Then the Realtor informed me that she had call MLS and asked them to remove my listing as I was no longer the listor. She informed that she was and I was refusing to remove it from MLS. She also told me that she has a signed Listing Agreement with the Seller. I informed her that I also have a signed Listing Agreement with the Seller. She repeated that they said they didn&rsquo;t have any paperwork with me at all. &nbsp;I also informed her that her actions were unethical and illegal that the Sellers couldn't be party to Listing Agreements at one time. Now </span><span style="font-size: 9pt">I'm absolutely fuming. That afternoon the Seller&nbsp;sends an email and wanted to know why we haven't removed the listing from MLS. When I stated that she hadn't signed the docs she stated that I didn't send it. </span></div> <div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">Anyway after angry emails and voicemails on all sides of this issue I finally sent an email explaining repetitively that all of the documents were sent digitally and were documented with time/date stamps. Each and every one of them could be tracked including the termination doc that I had sent. Interesting that later in the day magically she found it signed it and sent it back with a note requesting that I forward it on to her husband. I was showing homes to a client at that time and didn&rsquo;t receive it until after I arrived home. When I finished showing homes I drove past the property and saw that the Realtor had placed her sign in front of the home. I took multiple pictures of it and came home. My office phone and email was full of nasty messages. Basically threatening me and then finally telling me that the listing was terminated and that they were proceeding without the docs. Of course finally the end was that the doc appeared and the Seller sent it. In the email that the Realtor sent she stated &ldquo;They felt they had <b>no</b> type of contract with you <i>what so ever</i>, and that was what they expressed to me in our first contact.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was only much later that they understood that they had in fact signed via computer an agreement to list but not represent.&rdquo; The Sellers are a branch manager of Wells Fargo Bank and an insurance agent with State Farm. It seems prudent to believe that they understood what they were signing. Now, of course, they are saying that they are going to follow up on me as I had stated that I was going to report this to the board of Realtors and the Colorado Real Estate Commission. At this time I have prepared the doc to be sent to the husband. Although they could have signed the one they have and faxed it back as I have already signed it. Then I plan to contact the Real Estate Commission tomorrow, the board of Realtors and also High Noon Entertainment ( HGTV) to report all of this behavior and the dual Listing AgreementsI understand that this couple wanted their home to be on HGTV. Even though we prefer to work towards achieving a full service listing&nbsp;with our flat fee listing clients we sent the termination papers in a timely manner to proceed with the termination. It was the Realtor that turned this into high drama. It also appears that apparently my clients didn&rsquo;t want to sign the termination docs for me to have it on file. &nbsp;The only thing that I can think of is that the date would prove that they signed a new Listing Agreement prior to terminating the one with me. I&rsquo;m assuming that a Listing Agreement is a prerequisite with HGTV. </span></div> <div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">. I'd like to know what you think and should I go ahead and send the husband the doc to sign digitally or wait. I&rsquo;ve never had an experience such as this one with another Realtor. I have no idea what to do but feel that it should absolutely be followed up. Obviously she has no idea how to practice real estate and what she&rsquo;s doing or for that matter what a Transaction Broker is and the legalities along with it. She seems to think our contract is not good.</span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><b><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #76923c; font-size: 10pt">Michael Carroll&nbsp; Broker/Owner</span></b></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #76923c; font-size: 10pt">Direct Line: 720.271.3873</span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #76923c; font-size: 10pt">Mail to: </span><a title="mailto:Mike@DenverRealtyExpress.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:Mike@DenverRealtyExpress.com"><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #76923c; font-size: 10pt">Mike@DenverRealtyExpress.com</span></a>&nbsp;</div>
