The Scam of “Premier” Listings at Coldwell Banker.

“Premier” Listings at Coldwell Banker are NOT what they pretend to be.

Coldwell Banker Realtors, not just Real Estate Agents, but NAR members make you think this is Some High Honor. They make you think Fancy Brochures, Websites and Big Time advertising they don’t tell you that you may have to pay for that advertising and you may not know, I didn’t that you have to actively participate in making them money by lowering your price.

If it don’t sell ( they Don’t Sell your Listing) in 3 Months, you have to take your price down 10%, and then another 3 months 10% again and this is whether the agent shows it or not, whether the agent treats you bad or not, and whether the Realtor, Coldwell Banker Agent even tries to sell your home or not.

The local example of a Coldwell Premier listing in my area is SHOCKING, for 2 years the agent has driven the price down on the Seller and they complied, though the Realtor did not show the home, now the selling is facing foreclosure and the Coldwell Banker Realtor says “Let the Bank Have It”, you see the Realtor and the Loan Officer are “Buddies” and You, the Real Estate Consumer, well YOU LOSE.

During this time of Non-Action from the Realtor in finding a Real Buyer the Seller did as much as they felt they could to find a buyer, they were NOT allowed by Coldwell Banker to seek outside advertising not related to Coldwell Banker, yet Coldwell Banker was not doing any advertising at that time. I myself who dominate the market online in my area where the real estate buyer is actually look, I had permission, from the listing Coldwell Banker Agent last summer to help in marketing this home and for FREE. My company put their property on 40 of our websites and had called in 3 days, the 4th day Coldwell Banker shut us down, though we were directing calls to the Seller and we did all this for Free, Video, HUGE slide shows, and on our website that we were and are number one in our area. The Coldwell Banker agent and their Brokerage directly interfered with FREE and VERY effective marketing to assist a distressed homeowner, and that was a year ago. This Coldwell Banker agent still has the listing and has tied the Seller to them.

Desperate the seller begged the agent for Brochures on their property so she could put fliers up all over town, the agent said well that is to expensive, you can have some Black and White Copies.

Now the Seller is Facing a Foreclosure and the Agent is treating them worse then ever.

Coldwell Banker agents push people into Foreclosure, as they “work with” the banks and keep your loan and your listing hostage.

This IS Wrong. Do not let Realtors treat you badly. You are in charge of your listing. You have rights and you do not have to Settle with the Way Realtors treat you. Many Sellers feel they have to do what the Realtor says or they won’t sell. This same agent has demeaned my Sellers by showing up for a showing an hour late and saying Hey You want to sell or what, I could leave with my clients.

I hear some really bad stories of Sellers trying desperately to do all the work to sell their own listing, while the Realtor does nothing and at the same time talks down to them, trashes them and treats them with horrible disrespect.

They don’t have to advertise or even try and sell but your stuck in your contract with them, no matter how they perform or what lies they may tell you. The NAR contracts that they tell you are “Standard” - they contain a whole lot of “Broker Protection Clause” sentences and statements to protect the Broker, the Brokerage, the Franchise, the Agent and NAR and NOTHING to really protect the Real Estate Victim (Consumer) from the lies, fraudulent activity or flat out Non-Performance by the Realtor or the Brokerage.

I called recently to show a Coldwell Banker Listing, 2 days past and the Broker never returned my call, so I call the secretary, the folks who really to the work for the Real Estate Broker. There is no Reason to “Hire” a real estate broker if the Secretary is going to do all the work anyway. Fire your NAR member, your Realtor. Sell without a Realtor. I guarantee you that your Realtor is Interfering with Your Home Selling and getting paid good money to do it, while at the same time leaving you with no Protection in your Real Estate Transaction.

Take Back your Real Estate Transaction.
Stand up for your Rights in your Real Estate Transaction.
