[quote=Russell]You all might be surprised how often client control is a positive thing. When often times “buyers are liers and sellers are worse”, there are some things that need to be done to save clients from themselves. I am sure the Realtors have some stories.

Agreed. Client control cuts both ways. Sometimes it’s in your client’s best interests to back away from a transaction. Sometimes the client’s being idiotic and can’t pull the trigger on a deal that’s clearly beneficial. The larger the gap in sophistication between the client and its counsel, the bigger the problems with “control.”
