NBR: So the realtor made me feel like shiit....

I just got a follow up call from the realtor about the condo. I saw it on Sunday for the second time with my mom because I wanted her input prior to making any decisions. My mom loved the place and we agreed that it's more than I could ask for, and reasonably priced.

So, I filled out the application, gave the application fee on Sunday. The realtor told me that she'd get back with me on Monday, when in reality it was today, but whatever. She said that she ran the application, everything looks good and she's finishing up some last minute terms of the leasing agreement with the owner to ensure it's exactly what they want as well. Fine. No big deal. Here is where the shiittyness comes into play---

She knows this is a separation situation. She knows that it will be Max and I, but that my husband and I are not divorcing, just separating. She started to ask me where I'm living now. I'm sorry, but what business is that of hers? Then she asked how far my mom lived from me, because she said "This is going to be a big adjustment for you, and you're going to need some help." I appreciate the sentiment, but keep your thoughts to yourself. Who is helping me mentally and being "there" for me is none of your concern. What YOUR concern is is that my credit is okay, I'm not a felon/criminal and that I pay the effing rent on time.

Then she pressed on about the location. "And your certain that your sitter isn't going to change?" Um....? What does that have to do with me leasing? Nothing.

  • I'm sorry to hear you were asked those inappropriate questions.  You are correct...those questions were unnecessary and have nothing to do with you being able to pay rent.  Not cool and frankly, none of her business.  I hope it smoothes out and you're able to move in without any more hassle.

  • She may have been trying to be sympathetic to your situation and not realized that her questions made you uncomfortable.

    Yes 

  • I must have missed that you and your H were separating.  I'm sorry, that can't be easy for you.  I would've been really annoyed with the realtor also.  So weird that she was so concerned about where you are currently living!
  • None of those things are her business.  That's very inappropriate of her.

    This for me too. I am sorry you have to deal with that. It must be difficult.

    no
  • Take it as a compliment. She is fascinated with your life and can not refrain from asking personal questions.
  • It is a touchy situation for you and I'm sure it does feel like she was being overly concerned over things that were none of her business.  She might have thought that it would be okay to ask those things since you shared your personal business with her.  I hope you get the place and she will concentrate on the business side of the deal and let you deal with your life without all the nosey questions.

  • I'm sorry that she made you feel bad! I'm sorry you're going through this. She's probably nosey and doesn't realize it's inappropriate.

    she would have to have an IQ of a gerbil not to realize that it is nosy. 

  • That sucks!  When I was going through my divorce (we skipped the whole seperation part) I was very quiet about the whole thing.  Unfortunately, I was so sad about it that I had no appetite and my weight loss gave it away.  People love to ask innappropriate questions just to get details that they have no business knowing. 

    I'm so sorry you're having to deal with an annoying realtor when you already have enough on your plate.  I must have missed your post about your situation as well.  I hope things get easier- if you don't mind me asking- is your seperation an attempt at working through issues or is it because your state requires it before divorce?  It seems from your OP that it's more of a *hopefully* temporary situation.

  • Thanks ladies :)

    I figure that aside from being nosey, she's also probably trying to make sure that the situation isn't a full out brawl between my husband and I. Maybe she's trying to make sure we aren't going to have a UFC fight all through the condo, cause damage, have neighbors give me the side eye and thus reflecting badly upon the complex.... who knows.

    But, the bottom line is that I'm signing a year lease. I'm making that commitment to pay her every single month on a certain day. If I try to break the lease, she (and the owner) are still going to get their money in order for me to buy out. (I don't see that happening)

  • I didn't know that you were separating, and I'm sorry to hear that you're going through that. :(

    Maybe she thought it was ok to talk about it, since you shared your personal info with her in the first place?  (I mean by telling her you were separating.)  Either way, it was inappropriate.

  • I'm a manager for a pretty large property management company, and I would never ever ask why someone is moving - simply because you don't know their situation and it could bring up a lot of negative feelings.  Bottom line is that it's rude too.  As long as someone shows good rental history and a positive credit history, they're in.  Diving into someone's personal history is totally unprofessional as well.
