We’re in escrow, and they’re repping both us and the buyer (which I’m not a fan of. But we live in a smaller market so it’s common here).

They’ve lost our trust with the way they’re negotiating and they’re clearly siding with the buyer now. Is there a way for them to prove to me that they haven’t shut down the MLS, or that they somehow haven’t made it MORE difficult for us to get backup offers? We haven’t had any showings while in escrow. I understand that might be common, especially in a smaller market. But again, trust has gone out the window.

When the offer came in and when we asked about still showing and taking backup offers they came up with some excuse as to why they couldn’t. When we said this was a non-negotiable they told us they’d lose their license. We knew this wasn’t the case. We pushed them on this and pretended like they got confused with our question then eventually agreed to show it while it’s in escrow. Bizarre.

Can someone please help? How can I ask for proof that they’re not screwing us on showings and getting backup offers while in escrow. Thank you!!

What’s standard for a rental agreement when it comes to a rent increase after the first year? 2%? 3%? negotiating for no increase? The fact that the lease does NOT mention anything about this is suspect.

Also, is it normal for a tenant to pay up to $500 expenses (even on AC issue!) until the landlord kicks in? This doesn’t seem right at all.

Moving to Sarasota soon, should I be worried about potential mold issues from the hurricanes in rentals (either home or condo rentals). Do owners/property managers/agents need to disclose if there were mold issues? Is it standard to get a mold test before renting? Or am I making something out of nothing and this isn’t really an issue? Moving from across the country so just want to get as much info as possible before signing a lease. Thanks everyone!
