Joe Wood - Keller Williams Realty

Joe Wood was our realtor when my husband and I were trying to purchase our first home. In the beginning he seemed great. Sending us videos of areas because we were out of town and keep in great contact with us. Soon, we were interfering with his schedule. He rarely had homes set up for us to look at and did what he called "drive bys" to start kicking homes out before we even saw them. He definitely put his two cents or more in to tell us we didn't want to look at certain home we were sure we did. Once we got past that and decided to make an offer he demanded earnest money and refused to put an offer in without it. The house had been on the market for a year and no one was bidding on it. It was not neccessary. i had done th reasearch and told him I didn't feel it was necessary. He still refused. After the 1st 2 offers fail through (on two different homes) We finally had a bite. The appraisal then came back lower than we settled on. We told Joe we wanted to keep the same terms and offer the lower amount (they pay half closing..)He again argued with us and told us it was not a good idea. We told him if he wanted to sell a house he better put the offer in. The sellers agreed. Don't let Joe talk you out of what you really want.
