My realtor caused me damages, do I have any recourse ... - Zillow ...

Couple of thoughts (many echoing those of others, but from a consumer vice REA - for whatever that may be worth)...

#1 - You are assuming that you've been damaged. That assumes that the seller would have accepted $194K had they not seen the $200K pre-approval. That'd be very hard to prove.

#2 - I somewhat understand the seller's position. They started a $200K, you at $190K. $195K is midpoint, but you've dug your heels in at $194. This is pretty much the exact same scenario I described in a prior post - the one where I told my REA that I had made a reasonable accomodation and if they were going to hold things up over $1K, that they could take their money and go find someone more desperate than I to sell.

#3 - Since your REA is not responding, why are you "stuck" at $194K? Realistically, what's $1K on a $194K transaction, especially since it's going to be financed? You're talking about killing a $194K transaction over a?0.5% difference, $4 a month - and the seller has already met you halfway. Again, why "stuck" at $194K?

Yes, the REA was a bonehead for submitting the $200K pre-approval, irrespective of how others may try to spin it. But, are you really going to dump a house you apparently like over a $1K my-way-or-the-highway negotiation?
