Sales Manager also blamed buyer 100% due to being buyer's third purchase and the selling agent's pool crack disclosure.
See messages under BMcD or under the review for buyer's response to your comments on slander.
In any event, neither side has to be 100% correct or incorrect, so partial compensation is a compromise request.

Sales Manager has made comments to support both sides, however, she blames buyer 100% due to a spa crack invoice. Buyer is seeking, partial, not full compensation to put the complaint to rest.

A difference of opinion is not slander. The facts are not in dispute, only the opinions each party has expressed. In fact, Lois Lauer Realtor Sales Manager agreed with buyer that the seller's home inspection was not a good inspection and she also stated Forbes should have noticed the crack in the pool comment on the selling agent's inspection disclosure.

Negotiating a price reduction due to subprime loan affect on housing market also ensured Realtor Forbes received commissions for the sale. This also does not change the inconsistent/bad advice given earlier that Alan's boss did not agree with and was contrary to what Alan had buyer sign. Don't have buyer sign a form regarding the importance of a buyer's own home inspection and weeks later tell the buyer the seller's home inspection is very good and not encourage the buyer to do what you had buyer sign. The seller's home inspection stated it was a limited inspection and should not be relied on by buyer. Buyer proceeded with purchase based on Realtor Forbes experienced advice. The unexpected repair costs can easily increase significantly since there are construction defects that have not been completely repaired. Forbes and Lois Lauer Realty have the buyer sign the form regarding home inspections for a very good reason - liability protection. However, the reason should also be to communicate the importance to the buyer verbally when asked about by the buyer about reliance on a seller's home inspection.

Thanks for your comments Realtor.
Experience's comments on the inspection report that noted a crack was disclosed by the seller's agent (seller did not disclose any problems on their disclosure form). Experience does not mention that experienced Realtor Forbes saw this inspection disclosure first and Forbes also signed it. The pool problems were the largest but not only problems that buyer had to fix due to reliance on a seller's inspection report, on the bad/inconsistent by Forbes.

Buyer forgot to mention. The crack repairs experience refers to were small and only in the spa - NOT the pool. Alan Forbes owns a house with a pool (buyer has never owned a house with a pool)) and Alan thought the spa crack repairs had taken care of the spa. He had no concerns about these crack repairs and he is pool owner, yet experience expects buyer to have disregarded Alan's lack of concern.

Is there anyone out there (other than Lois Lauer employees/agents) who thinks buyer received good representation from Alan Forbes? How about the comments and response by Lois Lauer Realty?

Experience compares 20 years as a realtor with buyer who purchased two homes previously - HELLO! Forbes made two big mistakes (inspection report advice and missing the pool crack comment on the selling agent's disclosure form). Sharon Jarrett-Meyer agreed that Forbes made these mistakes. However, since buyer signed the selling agent's disclosure and Lois Lauer's written inspection advice form, Lois Lauer Realty has protected themselves from legal liability even though the bad/inconsistent advice and missed crack comment is not good representation. Jarrett-Meyers' comments about the other agents at Lois Lauer that generate numerous complaints and bragging about the high sales volume at Lois Lauer Realty shows that her concern is with final results and not good/ethical advice. Don't expect Lois Lauer Realty to try to fix a mistake if they are not legally liable. Of course, buyer made some mistakes - the first of which was to hire and trust Alan Forbes and Lois Lauer Realty.

This is Alan Forbes and I have had two complaints in 20 years of Real Estate practice. I am truly sorry that this individual has taken the time to try and blemish my reputation. I have never, and would never, give bad advice to anyone. This individual that has complained about me is regretting his purchase and his own decisions associated with the purchase. Buyers remorse. It is not an agents place to make decisions for a client. He was given his options, and he chose poorly. Previously, he sold a home through me and purchased another one prior to this purchase and was COMPLETELY satisfied. Because he trusted me and the fact that I had done a great job previously, he called on me when he needed my services to buy the home he is complaining about. This was our third transaction together and he was experienced in the home selling or buying process. I am the same professional broker that he was happy with in the past and I am trusted by all in my business. In addition, Mr. McDonough failed to mention that at one point he had an option to back out and cancel the sale. I was not opposed to him cancelling but he asked me to negotiate a price reduction and I managed to negotiate a $50,000(yes $50,000)reduction for him. This far exceeds any reduction I have ever been able to negotiate in the past. He is neither grateful for this or complimentary of our past association.
It was his decision to proceed with the purchase and it was his decision not to get a second home inspection. I was in no way responsible for influencing him NOT to get another inspection. He was satisfied at the time that the inspection he had was sufficient. I feel he is bordering on slander with his agressive attemt to make me look bad. I have hundreds of clients that would be very surprised to read his defamatory comments about me here and elsewhere. His attempt to make me look bad are disturbing. It appears he is on a heated campaign to make me look bad. I regret that he has made me the focus of his remorse. Once we are fully informed, the decisions we make are our own, not to be passed on to others looking for someone to blame. I do understand Mr. McDonough's feeling but his blame is misdirected.
Sincerely,
Alan Forbes
Century 21 Lois Lauer Realty
