Oh, I find that strange too, Paul. It's almost an insult - like she doesn't think you'll deliver the Offer to the Sellers! Did she ask you if she could deliver it to them?  

Why didn't she just let you do your job and send the fully executed to your client? She knew where the seller was. I'm assuming he doesn't live on the vacant land so do they know each other?

 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Paul if you said 24+ years ago this happened I would say OK about delivering it to you... that was more professional... now days email or DocuSign with a call would be more professional... your title about Land peaked my interest:))Endre

Very weird. Did she let you know she was doing that? How did she know where you lived?

It's a head-scratcher for sure. For multiple reasons.

I will be having a serious talk with that person. 

I have no idea about the legality of it, local MLS & Board rules etc, all I know is that is definitely NOT the way we do things around here. 

Yep, in my area she'd get her lights punched for visiting the seller. I think it's a newbie doing her 'due diligence'. 

I remember a time when I hand delivered EVERY offer to the seller...I could not trust the biased agents to submit it.

NO, it is not a violation of MLS, ETHICS or anthing else...IT IS MY JOB TO MAKE SURE THAT MY CLIENTS OFFER IS SEEN BY THE SELLER.

The only thing I could not do is negotiate directly with the seller...

How totally odd... who delivers paperwork these days? I do everything on line with esignatures. I recently helped two legally blind buyers purchase a home and we still did everything on line. Everytime I think I've seen and heard most everything in this business, I suddenly realize that I haven't.

Why did she even bother to come to your house?  I would have a talk with her.

 New licensee? 

I believe that is telling of how the escrow will go.  Life does leave clues.

Yes I do.

Paul,

Just insisting on being stupid.  A

Yes, definitely a violation.

That is odd - I understand you can present an offer in person to a seller, but pretty sure their agent needs to be present.  However, with no signature, it isn't a valid contract.

Way beyond a violation.  Unless she had the express written permission to do that she, in my State, is in violation big time.  

Why in the world would she deliver documents to YOUR client?   Very most likely a MLS violation.  I would nip that in the bud before he/she/it starts calling them too!

YES and i woudl keep buyer agents away from my seller no matter what im selling. Contract come to me to be checked before being sent to my seller period. 

I think her actions were very wierd.

Time for a frank discussion between your sponsoring broker and hers. That is if everyone understands. Otherwise a complaint to the local board.

Inexperience has shown itself here...

It a clear violation for her to contact your client... and just plain weird that she would hand deliver documents to your home, and to yoru seller...not to mention she submitted an offer with no signatures.... 

Just when we think we've heard it all...  

You need to have a conversation with the agent.

I agree.

Unsusual indeed, unlikely to break any rules. In my state, the selling agent has the right to present the offer to the seller directly. Rarely happens, but it's possible.

Dave Halpern nailed this one!

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, - the buyer's agent should educate the buyer for sure.

Not a violation out here in Cali, they're allowed to go directly to the seller to present.  Should let the listing agent know first though and only as a last resort.  Wonder if they're new.  Either way, I'd have a "don't ever do an end-run around me again" conversation with that agent.

How can she be a "Selling Agent" when she did not deliver a valid offer?

Strange doesn't even begin to cover it.  Don't be knockin' on my client's door without my permission.  That's a violation of the code of ethics, and probably a violation of local MLS rules, as well.

Rest assured he'd be hearing from me, loud and clear.  I'll send Candice over to knock him upside the head.

I don't think that it is an acceptable business practice.  The time limits may have expired by the time it was dropped off.  You might want to look for another agent to work with.

Yes, that's weird.  Is this a new agent that doesn't know any better?  Did they do more than just drop off the paperwork, like engage in any direct negotiations? 

No doubt a total pro he said dripping with sarcasm.

VERY strange, what is wrong with emailing?

I think you need to reach an agreement with your client, in writing, that all communications with to the sellers must go through you. Provide a copy to the buyer's. She is taking advantage of her familiarity with the sellers and no good will come of it.

very strange..tell her to get on DOTLOOP

Not cool! I would definitely exert some post-license free 'schoolin' on this so-called professional

yes, a violation in my book
