First-time homebuyers fire agent after discovering she lied about submitting their offer in a ploy to get more money: 'We could've made a deal months ago'

Buying a home sounds exciting at first, but once you're on that journey, you go through a rollercoaster of emotions that makes you wonder if it's really worth it. Unfortunately for this couple, they know this story all too well.

When you hire a real estate agent, you trust them to guide you through the process, especially if it's your first home. So imagine their shock when they found out their agent had been anything but honest. The agent claimed she had submitted their offer on their dream house, but it turned out she had never actually done so. Instead, she was trying to get them to shell out more money by pretending their offer had been rejected.

The truth came out in the most unexpected way when the buyers casually bumped into the actual owner of their dream house. The owner's offhand comment left the buyers stunned. They quickly realized their agent had been spinning a web of lies and that they could have closed the deal months earlier if things had been handled properly. Needless to say, the agent was shown the door faster than you can say "contract breach."

If you're a first-time homebuyer reading this, we don't mean to scare you with this tale. Here, let's lighten the mood with these 22 Homeowner Memes for First-Time Homebuyers Who Finally Made It Out of the Renter Life.
