Its been a long time since I have blogged. I have been ultra busy. I reopened a business that I had been very successful with in the past. I am a manufacturers Representative in the plumbing industry. I still have my Real Estate License and keep it up to date. Covenant Partners is where I hang that hat. I do miss the excitement of day to day full-time Real Estate. Excitement you say....yes excitement. Something about wondering what the day will bring, will this be the day you get an offer or a call from a serious buyer. It just might be ! I have had many satisfied clients and I am sorry to say I have had One unsatisfied client. I ran into this fellow last week as he is in the plumbing industry and our paths do cross. He had a house that just would not sell it was out in the boondocks and was built like a fun house. The bedrooms were odd shaped there was no bathroom or closets in the Master and the house was unfinished. He would not come down on the price and I was spending alot of money driving to and fro and advertising. He tried to motivate me by offering to pay me money under the table if I sold it quickly. At that point I told him to find another Realtor I just couldn't represent him anymore. Well when I saw him the other day he was bitter still. He asked me if I was still doing real Estate and I said sometimes.....Helping friends and family etc. He replied I knew you wouldn't make it as a Realtor because you committed the cardinal sin of firing a client. He said he may buy a faucet from me but would never use me as an agent. I know if I would have held on to him as a client and his house did not sell he would still feel the same way. So even though I have an unhappy former client I still fell I made the right decision. I saved money by not marketing a property that could not sell and I kept my self respect in tact. DON'T DEAL WITH SHADY CHARACTERS it won't get you anywhere and if someone wants you to bend the rules you could end up fined or loose your license. It is better to cut ties quickly and move on. The property never sold although it appears so under MLS. The Realtor he used orchestrated some sort of Lease Purchase plan.
