It’s always best to be the 1st Born, 2nd Wife & 3rd Realtor!

I never thought I could embrace this belief, but the sellers of today are forcing my hand!  I'm like the girl who dates the womanizer thinking I have what it takes to change him!  Uh huh... Sure... Right!!

I have come to the conclusion that we are all going to need to become skilled in the art of turning down business (for while at least). 

I don't think any of us can dispute the fact that overpriced, unmotivated sellers are a recipe for disaster.  We all know this type of inventory will suck the life right out of us.

Therefore, I have vowed to walk away from any seller that meets the following criteria:

1)      Overpriced

2)      Unmotivated

3)      Uncooperative

4)      Believes they know more about selling homes than I do.

My response will be polite, cordial and as politically correct as possible. 

"Mr. & Mrs. Seller, I would rather say no to your business today rather than disappoint you tomorrow.  Thank you for the opportunity. I wish you all the best."
