Interesting video… check it out
I came across an interesting video at 1000 Watt Blog . In it, various people talk about how they are not leads. We here at Buyer’s Choice Realty really like the message behind this video. Consumers in general, and especially potential buyers, do not like being treated as just another commission. Our goal of helping everyone who wants to purchase real estate by acting as consultants as opposed to salespeople goes hand-in-hand with this message. If you are currently interviewing real estate agents, please keep this in mind as you talk to them. Are they willing to describe, in detail, and back up in writing, what services they will provide to you and how they will provide them? If not, don’t deal with them. As a consumer, you essentially own your agent after signing an exclusive agreement to work with them, and they are responsible to work in your best interests. Unfortunately, in the REALTOR(r) culture, agents are encouraged to think of themselves and their paychecks ahead of everything else. Yet another reason to work with an Exclusive Buyer Agent (EBA), who will have your best interests at heart and will make every effort to show you every listing that is on the market. Consumers deserve that at least, and they do not deserve to have someone try to ’sell’ them a house.
