A glamour photo.

An internet lender pre approval

You are one of the few actually post your photo and name so I am willing to help you.  Type in "redflags or red flags".  Your teacher(s) has asked us to answer same question many many times before.

When the agent for the other side says, 'Believe me" or "Honestly".

Buyers wanting to see a home but won't get pre-approved until they find "the one."  

Buyers saying "I don't want to waste your time" or "I don't want to yank your chain."  Those buyers always will.  

Buyers or sellers saying "I'm really easy to deal with."  100% of the time it turns out they are not.  

Sellers trying to out negotiate you on your commission rate.  

Sellers only wanting showings on a Saturday between 12 - 4.  True story there.  

Other agents saying phrases like "trust me."  

I do not like to see a pre-approval for an Internet lender, when your client decides to go silent, when a buyer drags their feet on producing the option and earnest money check and scheduling inspections and when the other agent says.."Trust me!"

Any of the "participants" saying one thing and doing another.

Either of the parties to the contract (Buyer and Seller) failing to meet their contractual commitments in the time frame stipulated in the contract.

Buyers unwilling to sign a Buyer Broker Agreement.

Full price, cash, have not seen home.

"..or assigns"

Non disclosed buyer.

Able buyer with paper from "DunbleDunk Group, LLC' or Bank of America.

I have to say when they do not answer their phone, do not return messages is on the top of my list and for buyers, seeing a pre qual or pre approval letter from an internet lender

There are probably several but one of the biggest ones is if the lender is not returning anyone's calls.

When your client isn't returning your phone calls.

My head is buzzing right now, in fact! :D
Interloping non-professional 'advisors'.

Too many to comment. Experience will let you know as you add to your list!

Those who are hesitant or refuses to fill out a sellers disclosure.  

Buyers who want to look at homes in one town one day and in another town 10 miles away the next. Sellers who want to hide an issue with the furnace, roof etc..  

Good morning Kim. In most cases, you will know when someone isn't telling the truth, that is when I'm on guard.

Many wire transfer traps to be aware of.

There can be so many of them. 

Hi Kim!  Love how you phrase the question.  My hive mind says: internet or out of the area/no-name lender, trying to nickle and dime the seller, late on getting forms to seller.

When the earnest money check bounces.

I buyer who says they have not spoken with a mortgage loan officer but that they will have no problem qualifying.

a buyer's agent who falls off the face of the earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When communication breaks down and no one will answer a direct question

It's such a broad question, hard to respond without a scenario for there can be so many red flags. Inconsistencies, either in what you see in writing or in what you are told, would be a start.

When a buyer isn't performing and their agent dodges your phone calls texts and emails 

1. Dumb agent...don't know how to read the contract.

2. Agent that lets you know what they think.

3.  Agent that lets you know they are a "top producer.

Eve

No straight answers to questions that demand it...HOIST's THE RED FLAG

Red flag, when the earnest money is not collected during the required time frame. 

Anything in your gut that makes you want to hold up a white flag when first meeting someone

Soft seconds (ask you instructor).

Another agent recently asked the question. There should be an alert on AR if a question has already been asked.

Good morning Kim. All excellent answers!

Can any of you, guys come up with a different question once in a while? 

Undisclosed issues discovered, lack of cooperation with any of the parties involved, mold, missed deadlines...dishonesty...
