Exit Platinum Plus Realty

Where do I start? Moved here last year. As a first time home buyer, we weren’t sure of all the rules when using an agent to buy a house. Apparently it showed, and we got cornered. Realtor with initials R.J. who we contacted to ask to show us houses was quite a guy. Liked to talk but did little to back it up. We ended up finding the house we wanted online and ended up buying it through him, but no thanks to him. First, unaware that it was regular practice in PA to sign a exclusive buyer agreement in order to just look at houses with a realtor, RJ cornered us after we told him we had an appointment with another woman later that day. We felt forced to sign with him, and unfortunately, we did.
Second, RJ never really listened to what type of home we were interested in. He saw out of towners and a quick couple thousand. We were shown maybe 10 homes and none of them were close to what we wanted. When we inquired whether it was possible to find something in our range, he said no you will never find it. Went back to NY and kept searching online, found our home called him and he set up a showing. Still dunno what we paid him for.
We asked him to recommend some neighborhoods other then the crappy areas he showed us. His response– I can’t tell you what areas are good or bad, i’m not allowed to say. On various stops to homes that we viewed, he commented how he may be interested in buying them himself to rent it out or flip it and make a profit. Great guy.
To top it all off, he asked us to drive our car around town while he showed us houses. Guess he didn’t want to put miles on his car. That same day, in the middle of showing us homes using our car, he asks if we can drop him off at another client’s house cause of some problem. The guy had some nerve.
Closing day. Stays for 20 minutes and bolts for some «obligation.» I dread another realtor experience because of this man.
