Like most of you, I received an email today highlighting the post "Give us your commission or else..."
1) Do not get involved with REO or Short Sale properties, if you do not understand the concept of "short".
2) If you are going to write a post about how everyone should give til it hurts [except YOU] have the good sense to make it a Members Only post.
3) To whomever chooses the posts that go into the highlighted list via newsletter...don't pretend you are a friend to the industry, and then highlight posts that pander to the negative realities of this industry.
Anytime an agent puts their own best interest ahead of their client's best interest...it is a very sad day in real estate. For everyone to suffer due to an agent's inability to "begin with the end in mind" is a travesty, and an injustice to all the parties who worked so hard up to this point only to have the agent scrap the whole transaction due to selfishness.
To then BRAG about how you stopped the transaction! God almighty...stop slapping that person on the back for "digging in their heels" and causing all parties to be damaged by the agent's greed. Give the transaction to another agent, before you take zero and take everyone down with you!
I cannot believe that any good person on earth would view taking everyone down the tube to failure as a good thing!
RE-DEFINE SUCCESS! THE ONLY MEANINGFUL SUCCESS IS THE SUCCESS OF YOUR CLIENT!
EVERYONE LOSES...IS NEVER A GOOD DAY...NEVER. EVERYONE LOSES BECAUSE EVERYONE GAVE TIL IT HURT...EXCEPT THE AGENT WHO BANISHED EVERYONE'S HOPES FOR A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME? A VERY, VERY SAD DAY....
...and then they wonder why people hate Realtors...who don't have the good sense they were born with...
No feeling of regret to all the other parties damaged by this one agent's act of complete selfishness...not to mention that ANY real estate professional would have been able to see that outcome coming from day ONE!
I repeat...DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH "SHORT" SALES, IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORD "SHORT"!
