During our experience having Ms. Housand sell our house we felt that she spectacularly mismanaged our expectations, completely misjudged our house value and/or the market, failed to provide specific information we requested, and took advantage of us being overseas for her own financial gain. We live overseas and hired Ms. Housand to sell a house we had been renting out via one of her colleagues as property manager. She immediately talked up how hot the market was (aEURoeThe market is pretty aEUR~hot at the momentaEUR| last week (I) managed to sell 6 housesaEUR?), and told us where she thought we would be able to sell our house. As soon as we received the first offer, though, she transformed from a real estate market bull into a bear. Ms. Housand heavily encouraged us to take the offer (72% of her recommended original list price, and more than $10/sq ft lower than the next lowest comparable). We passed. Just before our listing agreement expired we got our second offer. As we went through the inspection process, Ms. Housand turned into a massive critic of the quality and state of repair of our house. She emphatically highlighted needed repairs that she hadnt mentioned in the previous 6 months or on the first offer (being overseas we hadnt physically seen the house in years.) As we tried to work through the repairs and agreements with the buyer, she habitually failed to give us requested information about the specifics of the houses state. She would merely forward estimates for work the buyer wanted done with few details. It was about this time, that I realized Ms. Housand was also representing the buyer of the property. She executed contract negotiations and was well into pushing the buyers inspection agenda without fully disclosing or receiving informed consent from us to represent both parties. She played both sides of the sale without telling us, and with this buyer, her sales commission had almost doubled! When I confronted Ms. Housand with why she didnt disclose this material fact to us, her defense was that she aEURoewasnt required toaEUR? tell us. While this is debatable (Google: Realtor Code of Ethics Standard of Practice 1-5) I was surprised to hear such a defense from a aEURoeprofessionalaEUR? who was about to receive a 5-figure commission check from me. It drastically changed the economics of the transaction to her benefit, and I was left feeling that we could have received a better deal had she not been so focused on making the buyer happy.In summary Ms. Housand was the reason this was the worst real estate experience of our lives.

Bobbie was always able to schedule viewings for me quickly and she was always looking out for new properties coming on the market. She'd sent emails with listings or call if something showed up in my price-range with the features I wanted. She returned calls and emails in a timely manner and she was always sweet and friendly. But what really impressed me about Bobbie was, when push came to shove during the negotiations and at the closing, she knew her stuff and when the sellers lawyer tried to pull a fast one, she caught it right off the bat and refused to budge until the contract was corrected, saving me about $3000 in closing costs. I ended up with exactly what I was looking for, well within my price-range. She didn't try and talk me into more expensive properties, and she never got frustrated with me for taking my time or changing my mind about a house.
