She recommended the inspector, and then the electrician that made some repairs, and I know that between the two of them, one, if not both, were aware of the other issues. There's no way they could have not been as the electrician was working in the same area they were in, and for whatever reason, they were swept under the rug. I put my trust in her and I got ****ing burned badly. Hell we're lucky the place never burnt down because of them.

So no, I don't hold realtors in very high regard. I know it's wrong for me to base my opinion off of one bad experience, but a home is the single biggest purchase most people make in their lives. And we did everything right that time, and still got screwed.

Yeah that's a bad experience, but honestly that's a worst case scenario. Yes, you and your wife got screwed.

How did you guys come around to choosing that particular agent?
