Ask Amy: Our real estate agent has become a scary stalker

Dear Amy: A real estate agent helped us through numerous deals within a short 18 months — expertly, deftly and patiently.

In the end she closed a total of five sales, all through us. Because of this, she won an award from her prestigious agency and became their No. 1 regional agent.

She still texts/calls/emails often, wanting to get together for lunch, coffee, dinner, etc.

While working together, we took her out several times to thank her for her efforts, but it has been a year since we closed everything. We are maxed-out, both emotionally and financially.

After declining her invitations many times, I am at a loss. I avoid her calls. This leads to her texting, which I also now ignore. When all else fails, she shows up at our house and rings the doorbell, knowing that because my elderly father-in-law lives with us, there will be at least one adult at home at all times.

Last time she showed up with candy, which my father-in-law ate. I asked her not to bring any more sweets because they endanger his health, and she got mad and then announced that she would bring a “yellow cake soaked in condensed milk.”

She also has been constantly updating us on our “old homes,” telling us what the buyers are now doing with the houses. This also tells me she is constantly dropping in on these other properties.

I do not want these updates, and told her so.

I have refused her invitations for a year. I have asked her not to bring sweets. I have told her that I don’t need updates. I am now ignoring her texts and phone calls.

The last time she showed up, I stayed out of sight. I could hear her asking about me at the front door.

Is there anything else I could be doing? I can’t take much more of this.

Dear Exhausted: You should create a log of this person’s unwelcome contact with you over the past year, in the unlikely event that you might need it later. Keep a screenshot of her texts and your responses.
