I had a signed contract for a home purchase with this real estate group, only for them to pull it during the attorney review period because they received a better offer after the fact. After sharing my excitement with friends, family, and coworkers, scheduling an inspection, putting earnest money in an account, and hiring an attorney, they left me in a horrible position—one that could have been avoided had they acted with integrity from the start. A major red flag should have been when they insisted on holding an open house despite our signed contract. At the time, they claimed it was to generate leads for their buyer agents, but now it’s clear they were simply using me as a safety net in case a better offer came along. Instead of honoring our agreement, they had me go through the entire contract-signing process while fully intending to walk away the moment something more lucrative came up. Regardless of what real estate law may allow, this is a clear example of unethical business practices. If you’re looking for a real estate agent in Orland Park, IL, or the surrounding areas, I strongly encourage you to take your business elsewhere.
