I have been so stressed and wanted to get some feedback on what to do. I just recently closed on an investment property and there are three units, all rented out. Its my second investment property so Im still pretty new to the way things get done in real estate. On the day of closing I asked when I would get my lease deposits and pro rated rents. My realtor said I should be receiving a check from my escrow officer but when I asked her she said my realtor had requested for those things to be done outside of escrow. I didn't know what that meant but I reached back out to my agent and he just kept on saying that I should be getting it from escrow. As days passed, I was having problems not receiving the mail key and the mailbox was locked for the tenants, turns out the previous owner would always have it locked and would deliver their mail every 1-2 weeks. I asked my agent if he could get the keys from the sellers agent and he said he would ask but that I could also talk to sellers agent. I was confused because to my understanding that is his job. Noticing I wasn't getting told about the keys I decided to email the sellers agent and the previous owner asking about the keys and the money from the rents and lease deposits. They stalled but ended up sending me the lease deposits minus the final bills (not sure if I had to pay for that) and the keys. I NEVER GOT THE PRO RATED RENTS. Keep in mind that while they took a week to mail those things the previous owner called out my realtor for being unprofessional and not doing right by me. He said my agent failed me in negotiating and reviewing the agreement. I have been asking what I can do and I've been given some options. While trying to get all the addendums and purchase agreement I noticed my agent decided to run everything outside of escrow without me knowing and was requested to get an addendum and I never signed it. He turned in a paper copy to the escrow officer instead of a docusign (all documents with the transaction were docusign). I went back to look at my emails/deleted email and even my folder where I was saving all my signed documents and I wasn't able to find anything. Idk if he signed it or how he got my signature on that paper copy. This document though, he submitted to the escrow officer one day before I had to sign the closing package with the notary public. He also never requested an estoppel, which I'm getting told by some people he should've requested from the seller. Now he is not responding to my text and I don't know what to do. If someone can please help me and guide me I'd really appreciate it.
