Without re-reading the whole thing, the agent pushed to name a bank on the document, not the purchaser (even though the purchaser signed it, which they should not have done, but not everyone is aware of the ramifications).
For those who say an agent cannot fill in a contract, doesn't this mean the agent did the wrong thing?
wylie,
For someone who boasts they have been buying property for 30 years and have an extremely successful mother who was an agent and investor for the last 40 or 50 years, you sure do come up with some newbie questions.
1. The agent has no authority whatsoever. When it comes to formally transacting real estate, all agents are forced to stand there like spare ****** at a wedding, cos they are completely irrelevant and powerless. C'mon, your Mum should of let you in on that little secret by now.
2. Nothing the agent says or does, or even writes counts for jack squat, due to point # 1. Certainly as a Buyer you cannot rely on any of it. All of the paperwork is plastered with warnings saying so.
3. The agent has no signing ability, due to point # 1.
4. The agent has no responsibility, due to point # 1.
5. The agent can almost never get into trouble, due to point # 4, which is due to point # 1.

As you've said in post # 24, this nonsense is all just anonymous opinion based gumpf on the internet. If you really want to know, spend ten G asking someone qualified. The schmoozies on here wouldn't not **** from clay.
