For those of you who followed the listing-poaching story last week, the founder of the brokerage firm involved has responded and we’ve updated the original post with her email. You decide for yourself if you believe her.

  1. MacD…brokers sue all the time. They will claim anything they want. You really don’t want them holding up a sale of filing a lis pendens… By not doing anything when you saw it it can be a sh**load of trouble.
    nothing like a lawsuit to hold up a closing for money…

  2. here’s where it’s appropriate for Awaye to “sacrifice” 1 of the agents on her crew and make that person the scape goat. So she can come with another explanation of “upon further in-depth investigation, we found so & so blah blah to be responsible this misunderstanding and we’ve taken the step to terminate so & so’s employment with this firm blah blah”

  3. Most of the posters that took Awaye’s side in the initial thread said that there must have been an agreement between the seller and Awaye at some point. Even is you believe Awaye’s explanation that theory has now been discounted.

    Actually I can only remember The What and jwlprincess (the ringer exposed by EdNorton) taking this line. Clearly it took a while for Awaye / jwlprincess to get their story straight.

  4. Kens, I’ve been lurking since I discovered my house was HOTD in 2006. (And, can I say, I’m relieved you all weren’t posting as prolifically back then!) I posted sporadically, and for some reason I just recently discovered the OT, where I was happy to be initiated yesterday. I saw the What’s defense of Awaye in the original post. I’m just wondering if anyone buys Arlene Waye’s explanation now.

  5. CGar I don’t know how long you been Lurking but The What seemed to be on the Awaye’s side for all of this. He was kicking and screaming how there is two sides to this story (refer to original post).

  6. “the forth item that comes up when you Google Awaye Realty is the homeowner’s accusation that they’re “fraudulently holding itself out as representing us”.”

    The best part will be when the name of the firm actually begins to be used as a verb, like Google.

    Potential Seller: I think I’ll save some money and try to sell my place myself via a FSBO.

    Potential Seller’s buddy: Just be sure to indicate “NO BROKERS” in your FSBO so you don’t get Awayed.
