I was in email contact with an agent recently, and decided that she was

days of chewing on it, she apparently went off the deep end,
constructing a vicious written attack that I would characterize as rabid
or psychotic.

I have written to the owner and manager of the Century 21 franchise for
whom she works, but since she's a top seller for him, I'm not holding my
breath that he'll concern himself too much with my complaint.

So do any of you happen to know whether there is a procedure for formal
redress of grievances against agents? Are they sworn to uphold some sort
of code of ethics? Does Century 21 censure its agents if they misbehave,
or are individual franchises free to operate however they choose?

Smitty Two-

In your situation I'd consider myself lucky that I'd figured out not
to do business with her.

Your intuition was borne out. My suggestion is to just "forget about
it"....where's the upside for you to pursue this?

We cannot know this woman's personal situation...perhaps she realized
that the loss of your business is going to mean financial disaster for
her? Maybe she's highly leveraged & about to go BK?

Desperate, crazy people do desperate, crazy things.

Yeah, you're right, I've lost nothing, just annoyed that a complete
stranger who is supposed to be a professional, could behave so
atrociously.
