Has anyone attempted to bring Ethics Violations against a Realtor for continually making negative remarks against you?

Silicon Valley cash ... I am wary of the "CA voting patterns" some of those people moving in are carrying around in their heads ...

People like to blame it all of California, but in Austin it's a combo of California, New York and New Jersey people moving here and a LOT of companies and entities that are buying properties from home owners, doing NOTHING to the property and then listing it for $50,000-$100,000 over the highest sales in the neighborhood and have people panic buying because the buyers have a false sense of urgency that they need to buy NOW. There are entities (not individual people) going into subdivisions and if there are 10 properties listed, they will buy all 10 properties, do nothing to the properties and then just re-list them way higher, people buy them because there are no more listings in the subdivision anymore, because some company bought them all.

Oh lovely ... my three favorite states ... NOT! (Having lived in ALL 3 at different times of my life, I am reminded why I HATE all 3 of them with a white hot passion).

Uncle Sam saved me and brought me to TX the first time (before depositing me in CA), but I will shortly be back in paradise ....

Don't worry about it. Who cares what Realtors think. Just do your job.

Trust me...I black list way more Realtors than vice versa. If it is a Listing Agent that has been crappy to me in the past, I don't accept the assignment.

We have a actual black list in my office that every order is measured against. If you are a Realtor on that list, I don't accept the assignment..and I make sure and wait a few days to decline. Wait until its a real odd ball and they can't find anyone, then its gets their attention. My note to the lender is always simple "The agent on this file is aggressive and difficult to work with. Thank you for considering me but I will have to pass."

***about three weeks ago I got begged by a Listing Agent acquaintance to do a very rural/complex assignment. Noticed when I got out there that the Buyers Agent is someone who has written me a bad review on Google for being late to a final on a HUD REO (which I cannot even recall). I called the LA and said I am getting in my truck and leaving if she doesn't take her review down. It was gone in 10 minutes.

My point, what goes around comes around. Realtors that trash Appraisers are not taken seriously by their peers, for the most part. Everyone knows that if you are constantly having issues with Appraisers, its bc you over list or over sell. Some agents entire marketiung strategy is to over list. Then they act surprised that my name keeps popping up.

Be strong...move forward. You don't need anyone's approval. Being the most popular Appraiser ensures you won't be for long.

Funny during these times when they can’t get an appraisal done in less than a month they now start sending work my way. They are willing to take any appraiser that will get the job done.
