I just turned down a listing yesterday. Why? Because the seller wanted to tell me how to sell his house. After being on the market for almost TWO YEARS, with 3 different agents whom I know all of them and they are good, it didn't take me long to figure out why he had been listed with 3 different agents for almost 2 years.

Not only did he want to tell me what to do, how to do it and how often to do it, he also wanted me to cut my commission. His excuse was that if he bought in 2005 and his value went down, then I should take a hit too. That really puzzles me because I was not the agent who helped him buy the overpriced house, so why should I be involved in the loss game?

There are a lot of short sales, I do them all the time, loan mods, refi's, and I do help a lot of people pro-bono, but not those that have an attitude.

I think I'll go buy a car and in 5 years I shall go back to that same salesperson and due to the fact that the car is now worth less, have him cut his commission and give me a good deal on the next car.

Education is the key to helping these people, we can't cut our commissions and have enough money left to market and sell your house, pay Uncle Sam and the bills too. I just can't understand what part of this doesn't make sense to the public. I bet if someone had a 'real job' and their Boss said to work on Saturday but I can't pay you, they would have that same deer in the headlights look.
