I have a referral that came to me from another client. They started with another agent and she told them "you can't afford to live in my neighborhood". This really offended the client and now I am able to work with her. Why do people think it is ok to Read More...

I have a client that was transferred from out-of-state. It seems one of her employees will follow. Here is my dilemma. I am going on a 15 day vacation. He is going to start searching now and I have an agent covering for me while I am gone. I will split Read More...

I am representing the Buyer and we have put an offer in. The LA calls me to let me know she is on vacation in Boston and all counters and agreements will be verbal. I DON'T THINK SO. I told the LA that it would have to be in written form as my company Read More...

Got a call from one of the prospects that have been on my website continually for the last 3 weeks. Never gave me the right phone # of course. Well their agent is on vacation and back tomorrow, would I show them some houses today? I asked to clarify.."You Read More...

I have heard this comment so many times I have finally come up with the right answer. I asked a FSBO "How are the showings going?" Oh, I'm getting many interested people. I guess you are hearing from alot of agents like myself? Oh, no, only one other. Read More...

I have been working on a FSBO and low and behold someone has come along and wants to buy it before I list it. Well the owner called me and asked me to handle all his paper work for him. He would like to pay me $30,000. I told him while I appreciate that, Read More...

I have noticed on these blogs that people are getting more and more disrespectful to each other and frankly I find it disgusting. If you can't put your thoughts into a meaninful response, don't respond. I believe in lively discussion and different opinions. Read More...

Yesterday was stressful and today started out the same. My favorite client is moving to Fl. We have a contract on her house, so that is great. However, she has become a friend and I found it challenging to let her go. So, I start working on my blogging. Read More...

I have made it a habit to secure a signed Buyer Brokerage Engagment Agreement when I have a Buyer. Well I have an Buyer who went renegade (I have been dying to use that term). After looking at homes for two months and my spending weekends and some nights Read More...

Last night I received a text that I had a new visitor to my website and they had signed up for the IDX. I didn't get home till 11:00pm and checked it early this morning. The name of the person was meant to be vulgar, phone # was 888-888-8888 so you know Read More...

This is too funny!. Last week I had an agent signing for the client. This week I have submitted an offer and the agent called to let me know that the counter will only be signed by one of the owners as she is out of town. What in the world is going on? Read More...

Recently, as most of you know I have had dealings with a difficult agent. In the end the Seller called me to give me his fax so he could get the Counter Offer, sign it, and fax it back so we could get to the binding stage. When the seller called me he Read More...

Here we go again. The agent signed the counter offer and wrote in "per phone conversation with client". This is not binding. Right? I am begining to question myself. Read More...

Continuing. The Counter offer was written on my Purchase & Sale Agreement, not the Counter offer form. The agent did not have the Seller sign. Instead the agent initialed the price change and faxed it back to me. So I called my Broker and he said Read More...

I have a client who wants to purchase the lot that has a Realtors sign on it. I first looked on both of our MLS' and not showing. So I called the agent. Oh, it's not listed but the owner says I can put my sign on it and sell it for him. I didn't want Read More...
