Hey ****! How can I assist you with your legal issue in Iowa?
I sold my house in May *. Is it too late to file a case against the realtor?
Hi ****! In Minnesota, the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit against a realtor for breach of contract or negligence is typically six years. Since you sold your house in May *, you should still have time to file a case. Are you facing any specific issues with the realtor that you believe warrant legal action?
My house was listed with a company for over a year with no sale. I decided to switch to a more well known company because of foreclosures and time constraints. Hired expert realtor or so I thought and found out he never created a new MLS listing with his company. My home the whole time was just being listed on Zillow and realtor.com

It's definitely frustrating to find out that your realtor didn't list your home on the MLS. This could potentially be considered negligence or breach of contract.
In Minnesota, the statute of limitations for such claims is typically six years. Here are a few points to consider:
- Breach of Contract: If the realtor failed to fulfill the terms of your agreement.
- Negligence: If the realtor's actions were not in line with industry standards and caused you harm.
Would you like some guidance on the next steps, or do you have specific questions about your situation?
Because he didn’t make my home a priority I endured a second foreclosure with a second set of humiliation and fees. When I found out I confronted him and asked why I couldn’t find my house on his company’s listings? Within * hours it was listed and showings and offers flooded in. The problem is, he had me lower the price of the home by *,* and the 2nd sheriff sale was a couple of weeks away so I had to take the first offer or so he told me then took *% commission and never even showed up to closing

If so, could you please provide your phone number?
The problem with local lawyers is that they all know this company and doubt any of them would go up against them. I have to be careful about which attorneys I get involved with.
