Let me start by stating this was in the US, and I am a first time home buyer with ZERO real estate experience.

This week was inspection week. I had my general inspection which brought up i should bring in a structural engineer and or foundation repair to inspect the foundations on the home i was under contract to buy. It had previous crack epoxied and bracing done but had some additional unaddressed cracking and an exterior wall with lateral shift.

I requested both a engineer and foundation repair be scheduled, i had my agent schedule all inspection as I am a first time buyer and thought they would know better who to schedule.

Come the day of inspection they were to both be there at the same time, 2 hrs before appointment I get a txt from the engineer stating they are on the way and will be there 1.5hrs early. When I arrive My agent isn't there have had no communication from them all day outside of telling me when the inspection was to take place that day. The sellers agent shows up and proceeds to follow us through the house. Inspection is completed and I leave as I cannot stay for the 2nd inspection. Agent reaches out to me she is starting to fill out the resolutions, I ask if the 2nd inspector showed up yesterday and get no response, I ask again and get a vague story about how he was late and the sellers agent had to leave, and also find out my agent didn't actually schedule the engineer or so they claim,which leads me to believe the sellers agent hired the structural then turned away the inspector my agent hired.

Either way NONE of this was disclosed to me and it wasn't a cancel and reschedule it was "you aren't needed someone else looked at the foundation." This again is my first home purchase further details are my agent scheduled a 21 day close I did not know how extreme that was, and had inspections ending the weekend of July 4th in the US. In my mind at the very least something unethical occurred either with the sellers agent or my agent. Feeling as if something unethical occurred I requested via txt and a phone call to my agent no longer wanted the house and they pushed back saying well talk later about this. So I called her broker and requested release from the purchase and buyers agency. At worst I feel like it borderlines on defraudement, but would like input from someone with more experience. Should I report this to the state licensing board or file a police report?

State of Missouri I Was under contract on a home as the buyer. with the inspection period nearing the end durimg a holday weekend with a 21 day close window (this was my first home purchase and was not aware how extreme that close window was but it was chosen by MY realtor without talking about) I was being promised inspection period was going to be extended due to findings of the initial inspection and because of necessary repairs and treatments (roof, and termites) never got sent documents to sign from sellers declaring that extension. We Had a structural engineer, and foundation repair company scheduled. I did not call/hire either I asked my realtor to handle the inspection scheduling. Foundation Inspection was scheduled for 2pm for foundation repair and 230 for engineer. At 1230 I get a txt from engineer that they will be there at 1 instead so I rush out of work to meet them at the house. My realtor never shows up and never communicated they wouldn't be there. Sellers agent shows up to let us in and proceeds to follow us through the house for the inspection. His visual only inspection takes 5 minutes and declares no immediate repairs need made but to monitor cracks, reepoxy previously repaired cracks, and general maintenance. I leave being unable to stay and wait for the foundation repair to do their inspection thinking ok they'll quote re epoxy costs. Turns out someone cancelled the 2nd inspection without consulting me, and my agent is claiming they didn't hire the structural engineer. I ask them twice who cancelled the 2nd inspection and I never get an answer. I then request my agent via a txt message to rescind my offer based on the findings of the initial inspection and to request earnest money back. She responds she wants to talk on the phone first. During the call I tell her I dont want to move forward with the house purchase and she continues talking trying to keep the process going. After the convo I contact her Broker and request out the sale, earnest money back, and released from my buyers agency agreement. In my mind this was at the very least highly unethical but does this stretch to attempted defraudment?
