Dual Agency Created the Potential For Abuse

The problem with a dual agency is, it created the potential for abuse as in Pemberton Holmes Realty, Nancy Vieira's MLS Listing #350341 where she was representing both the buyer and the seller. Where did her loyalty lie?

Read the Fine Print - Bad Realtor Nancy Vieira - Pemberton Holmes Listing

I would like to warn any potential buyers of Sweet Pickins Farm MLS 398180 about a

real estate deal that has gone bad and to check the listings and read the fine print, especially the disclaimer at the bottom of the web page. 

NOTE: MLS property information is provided under comp right by the Victoria Real Estate Board. The information is from sources deemed reliable, but should not be relied upon without independent verification.

This website may only be used by consumers for the purpose of locating and purchasing real estate.

Not all of Nancy's listings have been on the up and up.  MLS#350431 in point, where nothing in the listing was on the property she sold. She out and out lied to her client.

It's like going to a new car dealer and ordering a new Chevy but what is delivered is an old used Ford. So buyer beware. You are dealing with a shady real estate realtor, Nancy Vieira of Pemberton Holmes Realty.

Thinking of Purchasing This Property - Think Again!

Red Flag #1 Nancy Vieira Sales Rep For Pemberton Holmes Realty - Fails To Show Property to Potential Buyer

If you have bought real estate before then you know the first thing you do is call the listing agent to view the property. In this case it was Pemberton Holmes Real Estate that held Nancy Vieira's listing MLS® Num: 350431 

He called Pemberton Holmes Realty (Sooke) and talking to Nancy Vieira, the real estate agent, he tells her he would like to view the property. She told him she was not available to show it, but she tells him that he should come over to the Island and have a look for himself. She gives him directions. He takes the day off and goes to the Island to view it for himself and likes it.

He calls her again and wants to arrange another viewing with her but as before she says she's too busy to show it but urges him to come over to the Island again and stay the weekend, camp and enjoy the property for himself. He does and likes it.

This should have been a Red Flag that something was amiss about the property.

If you hired Pemberton Holmes, using Nancy Vieira as the realtor to sell your property, wouldn't you want her to take the time to show the property to potential buyers. What was her excuse? As I said,

To the unsuspecting buyer, everything looks legit. Right? 

But... the property listed in MLS#350431 is on Western Forest Products Land, carefully  and intentionally construed by the previous owner and Nancy Vieira to deceive any potential buyer.

Why? 

I would think twice before using Pemberton Holmes and Nancy Vieira as your real estate professionals.
