Do You Ever Wonder If You Are Being Told The Truth By Your Real Estate Agent?
I saw this video online yesterday and it really made me laugh. Why? Because I was on a few websites and some agents were actually freaking out over this video. So it really makes you wonder what kind of shenanigans are being pulled on unsuspecting buyers and sellers.
I LOVED this video because I think that buyers and sellers should be as educated as possible and that they should know what kind of person they may be dealing with. What’s wrong with shedding some light on some of the tricks that bad Realtors pull.
So what’s wrong with exposing them? Hey if someone wants to sell their home on their own, then so be it. They have that right and if they have read up on it I don’t see anything wrong with being a FSBO. In fact if there are any FSBO’s out there who have any questions or need any guidance give me a holler..I’d be more than glad to assist…at no cost! Hey, it’s good business to lend a hand. To me being an agent is about being a facilitator. Just about anybody can be a real estate agent. It doesn’t take any special skill. If you can host a Tupperware party you can be a real estate agent.
What sets the professional agent apart from the run of the mill agent is being able to answer questions when asked. Answering the phone when called. Knowing how to navigate the labyrinth of the short sale process. Understanding that most clients need credible information and don’t need you breathing down their neck. Being able to basically do what is asked of you. Being a guide through zoning and building code ordinances. Having the sincerity to say “I don’t know…but I will find out and get back to you within 24 hours”.
I don’t get it. This is a very simple job that I do and being open and providing information makes it a breeze. It’s about being credible and relating to the needs of a client.
It’s about seeing videos like the one above and realizing that it’s not about running away, hiding and getting mad. It’s about being real and saying yes there are some like this in my profession but please allow me to show you that I am not like that and I would be honored to work on your behalf and if you are not satisfied with my performance for ANY reason you can fire me on the spot. And I’ll put that in writing.
That’s why a video like this is important. It allows the consumer to see the difference in the type of PERSON they are dealing with first. Once that is determined it’s easy to see if the agent behind the person is someone you want to do business with.
