ashmanpolo:I'm sorry but that is wrong. An agent who charges both buyer and seller is simply being greedy and more often than not causes problems with the transaction. Properties are hard enough to sell or rent because of all the price loading by intermediaries. If a fee has been agreed with the buyer and he reneged, we all know how slow and expensive the legal option can be. I would advise that all client agreements are established clearly in writing, and if you can afford to sue, do so, if not settle and blacklist the client. But make sure others know of your experience with this untrustworthy person so that they are forewarned. |

To start with that is one hazard of dealing as an agent without a lawyer. I had a similar complaint from an uncle that was a sales agent on hundreds of million naira property on Ikorodu road only for the buyer to sideline him n deal directly with the owner. He was left with no commission not even a single dime. I would advice you count your losses n be more diligent n forthright in your next dealing as court cases no be beans in Nigeria. You can be explicit with your terms to the buyer n seller as possibly as you can so it does not deter them from dealing with you. You simply need to understand you need to have them by the throat to get your commission next time. |

Am not here to write like am trying to win a spell bee competition. Just needed some brief advice from sensible people who have empathy and thus far I really can't go into much details to remember exactly how those long stressful months went. I really appreciate you all who said meaningful things to this my matter, you'd get help in time of your need in Jesus name. Amen. Someone said. Pray about it, others said sue him. This would suffice, gotten the advice I needed. To those rambling or are they called wailers? Don't worry help is on the way for you as well coz obviously you need it too because you can't even hep. Anyways, I'd get my money and enjoy my christmas, this has to be a relaxed christmas. Other transactions have been successful, but this must gimme my joy. Gbam# God bless |

I think you should have a word with the buyer as to why he isn't honouring previous agreement. Then depending on his reaction, if no headway still. I support you sue him, get him served ASAP. #NotALawyerThough ![]() |

Friend, yours is quite a dilemma. I would advise you to insist on the earlier agreement. From my understanding, an agreement cannot be terminated unilaterally without attracting legal sanctions. You have good grounds for going to court. But if you do, your legal fees and the length of time it will take the courts to hear your case might make the more recent offer a more attractive option. |

| Re: I Feel Cheated After Months Of Hardwork, I Need Your Opinion by debbydee(f): 2:46pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
get yourself a lawyer. At least sakaram the owner and buyer if you ever had an agreement with buyer. if the wahala is too much abeg collect 700k and move on. |
| Re: I Feel Cheated After Months Of Hardwork, I Need Your Opinion by Jodesky(m): 2:56pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
The Buyer's reason for not paying your full fee is very genuine. You were not diligent in disclosing what turned out as extra charges amounting to N4m. This is more so when you are aware he was relying on bank loan. You should he happy he's paying you a lesser sum which l advise you grab with both hands. I always make it clear to Agents that l want to know all charges beforehand as my budget may not accommodate surprises. This is a lesson to all. We should be mindful of hidden charges when buying properties as this may crash budgets. Our so-called professionals are won't to ignore these possibilities just in the eagerness to sell only to spring surprises just as deals are closing. So my friend, no tears for your lamentations. |
| Re: I Feel Cheated After Months Of Hardwork, I Need Your Opinion by Maximus85(m): 2:57pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
flywaterbo:Bro, take the 700k and continue with your life. God will bless your effort. It will be a waste of time, energy and resources if you want to fight for the balance. |
| Re: I Feel Cheated After Months Of Hardwork, I Need Your Opinion by charlesbailey(m): 2:57pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
bros,don't take the 700k like some are advising, you'ld have lost the case before it started find a lawyer and reach an agreement of 5% of the 5% if he/she wins the case and you're good to go since you have a written and signed agreement people can be funny with money,funny money flywaterbo: |

| Re: I Feel Cheated After Months Of Hardwork, I Need Your Opinion by klassic(m): 3:04pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
Dear OP, all you need do, is to get a very senior lawyer to write him an official letter attaching the old document as exhibit, under the guise that he is doing it pro-borno, even if you might actually end up paying. The fear of him or his lawyer going against a very senior lawyer will make him think twice. Because for him to get a senior lawyer in the rank of yours, will cost him much and since he knows he is at fault, he will rather not take that chance. I am talking from experience. At the end of the day, you will get your money or something substantial. But rem to send me my share ooo ![]() |
| Re: I Feel Cheated After Months Of Hardwork, I Need Your Opinion by chyket(m): 3:04pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
My opinion is take the money and move on.What if after 3 months,the buyer said that he is not buying again?.If you go the way of litigation,you will end up paying lawyers for as long as the case lasts and at this point,you will be throwing good money at a bad one.You also sound as if you could do with that money urgently so take it and pray for better deals in the future. |
| Re: I Feel Cheated After Months Of Hardwork, I Need Your Opinion by flywaterbo(op): 3:05pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
Thanks dear @debbybee and the rest useful NLers with assiting and comforting message. I thank God I signed an agreement before all this issues came up if not, what upper hand would I have. Some client think because your into real estate and property sales your not a graduant. I discussed with a lawyer colleague and he said since I got every agreement and acknowledgement that I don't have any worries. Please any and every NLer should never acknowledge word of mouth because story might and would always change. |
| Re: I Feel Cheated After Months Of Hardwork, I Need Your Opinion by flywaterbo(op): 3:13pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
@jomogbomo, I'd send you a mail and we'd talk about your flat at agungi. @my helpful Nlers, I can't start recalling from scratch the names but I really appreciate, I just needed to stir myself on what to do. I'd get a senior lawyer to write him and afterwards see his response, I can move on from this if only he was sensible enough to discuss like a man on man talks and plead and not like act like your doing me favors, I know how many transactions I pay attention too and I did a lot for him, the little he can do is to be appreciative. I'd get a senior lawyer as my brother stated and he'd write him. I'd also try posting out the feedback. Thanks so much my good Sirs/Ma |

flywaterbo:I'm no lawyer, but I think it is unfair to you. Obviously you need a really good lawyer and you should threaten to sue him. Certainly, he is greedy, and if you threaten to make him spend more than he wants to in court cases, then he should budge and renegotiate a better settlement amount. Now trust me, from my experience with people like this, you will most likely not get that N1.75m without losing a huge chunk in legal fees and the whole squabble will cost you stress-wise. If he budges and agrees to up the settlement to an acceptable percentage of the total amount like N1.25m, please take it and let him be. Next time, watch out for these kind of clients and desist from doing business with them when they prove too difficult. And this should be a lesson to you, involve a lawyer from the onset for high-value transactions in the future. Add clauses in the agreement that negates any party from playing a fast one. For example, if the seller refuses to buy after both parties have invested a great deal of time, energy, and money, he should be made to part with a substantial fee. All the best mate. -Lord |
| Re: I Feel Cheated After Months Of Hardwork, I Need Your Opinion by Jodesky(m): 3:18pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
flywaterbo:My friend, your otherwise strong case is already weakened by the fact of the extra charges of N4m the Buyer had to pay on top of the actual purchase price. Don't let anyone mislead you into litigating this matter. You will end up paying legal fees and you will not likely get anything in return. Unless you can wriggle out of lack of diligence over that extra payment and can validly show that it was improbable for you to be aware of those charges at the time of negotiation, then don't go near a law court. Talk to a lawyer who may not likely represent you to obtain dispassionate advice. A word is enough for the wise. |

We Nigerians need to learn to put our agreements in writing. makes things a lot easier. feel for you bro, u have been cheated but the things is are your ready to sue and can you prove that you agreed 5% commission beyond using word of mouth. |
| Re: I Feel Cheated After Months Of Hardwork, I Need Your Opinion by eagleeye2: 3:22pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
flywaterbo:I feel you bro. Just add to one of your experiences. Like always do in such deal, the buyer signs two checks. One for the property, the other for commission. OR, the buyer pays in the both into my account and I transfer to the seller. It's just greed that make people to act this desperate, and cheat others in business. |
| Re: I Feel Cheated After Months Of Hardwork, I Need Your Opinion by annibro(f): 3:25pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
