Hello, all. My father recently passed, and I’m settling his estate, one being a car of his. I live in another state and am not in need of another car. So, I figured I would try to sell it.

It’s a 2005 car with insanely low miles at 49k. However, from sitting outside, the roof of the car’s paint is fading and some of the clear coat is peeling on the bumper. I’ve never done anything with CarMax before and wasn’t sure if they take cars with cosmetic issues. So, I thought I’d ask here.

Will they even take cars with cosmetic issues?

UPDATE: In trying to find out who the broker was, I reached an Associate at the location, who agreed with everyone here that it is a conflict and to terminate immediately. He gave me the Broker’s name. Then spoke with the Broker. She saw nothing wrong and no conflict of interest. She encouraged me to continue to work with him. I told her I would like to terminate immediately and she wants me to call him and let him know but she thinks that it’s not necessary.

I am selling my house and currently live in a different state. I signed with a real estate agent based upon proximity and recommendations. He’s been very nice, but things have been dragging getting it officially listed like having to retake photos.

Received a notification the other night that someone entered the house. Checked the cameras and saw him and 3 other people entering, and he’s dressed in gym clothing. Figured it wasn’t official. I didn’t receive a text from the agent that he was going in for ant reason (like I did when getting new photos), and the house isn’t even listed yet. So I found that odd. I texted and asked if he was in the house.

Received a call that he and his wife are interested in the house but are in-between jobs and are in the process of getting hired for a proper full time position. Really likes the house and wanted to know if I would be willing to do a lease to own option. Lease until they’re able to secure the mortgage and then pay off the rest. He would essentially tear up our agreement and go through a real estate attorney.

I honestly don’t want to become a landlord. Too many variables and responsibilities to manage but now I’m also questioning whether I need to contact his agency and get moved to another agent if I turn him down. Feels like a conflict of interest.

Is this a typical situation that can happen? What’s the best way to manage this?
