Gazumping Agents from Remax Lydenburg

I would just like to say that we are currently in the market for purchasing a property. The first property we liked we inquired to the estate agent from Remax Lydenburg and were told that there is a current offer on the property and that we will have to wait and see if the transaction is going through or not, and that we possibly will have to look for another property.

A while ago, I was informed by same estate agent that she is awaiting to hear if the loan is going through or not. We also had plans to view another property but was eager to hear about this one, but after a week still no answer. Another esatate agent that assisted us from another firm, contacted me and told me that the sale did not go through and property is available. We made plans to go see the property the same day. We were really happy and put in an offer the next day. Only to hear from the Remax estate agent a week after, if we would like to go look at the property, and I informed her that we already did and that we put in an offer a week ago.

We were already informed that our offer after signing a offer to purchase, was accepted, and that we app**** for a loan, using same offer to purchase. Now I was enformed yesterday that where were gazumpted, as we are now on hold with the whole sale due to Remax estate agent put in an offer.

The whole matter would not have upset me so much, but due to the double standards of the estate agents. I just wanted to say that I am severly dissapointed, and would not advise anyone I know to their firm.
