Top 10 reasons why friends should use friends as Realtors...seriously

10) We will work harder to protect you. We care about YOU as a friend, not just as a client.

9) We will go the extra mile for you. Christine, I will see you in London next weekend.

8) We will fight harder for you. Helping you buy a house is fun. Helping you save thousands in tough negotiations is rewarding and fun.

7) We know secrets about you already. What are a few more skeletons in the closet amongst friends.

6) We will give more to you. I will do whatever I can to help close some tough deals for friends. Burlington anyone??

5) We will be there for you long after the deal is done, because we want to, not because you are on a mailing list.

4) We trust one another already. Why enter a new relationship with a complete stranger? (And if you only remember me from highschool, I am much more mature now :)

3) We will always do what is best for you unless you suggest otherwise. Then we will take your overpriced listing, cross our fingers and enjoy the extra time we will get to spend together.

2) Because I want you to pay ME commission. I want to feed my kids and keep a roof over their heads. I want to send them to nice schools and wear new clothes. I want my wife to have everything she wants in life. I want to be able to pay all my bills on time and have some left over for charity. I want to say thank you for choosing me, when you could have chosen anyone.

1) We will work harder overall. We need you to tell our friends that they should use us too. We know that you are trusting us with the biggest purchase or sale you will ever make and we don't want to let poor decisions or lazy behaviour affect our relationship. Friends ALWAYS work harder than strangers, or they aren't good friends to begin with.

Friends...CHOOSE STU!!! To those that have...Thanks. To those that didn't...I meant it when I said I understood. I really do. To those that may or may not...read this list. It could cost you thousands of dollars to choose someone else. There is nothing you can tell me, nothing so personal, that you can not trust me to keep secret. After all, we are friends and that is what friends do for each other.
