“Asking them to take on a fiduciary responsibility is “scope creep”
I have enjoyed the tidbits you have inserted in your posts where you are drawing on you managerial expertise. People here are proving why so many have trouble with RE types. They abdicate responsibility to someone who really is not, generally speaking, in a very sophisticated role. I think to some extent crying about it puts them in that camp.
“Scope creep”;Great expression. I do think people in all fields SHOULD advocate for their clients though.
Another thing , all rookie agents, and mortgage folks gets used and abused by buyers and sellers, sometimes by friends. This is no excuse but it can easily be seen as a heartless situation by all parties(recall how many people are telling Raptorduck to dump his agent who has worked very hard doing the best she can). In fact everyday that you go out into the world of sales you can be confronted by phenomenal bull shit. Don’t be surprised that many aggressive, thick skinned and self preservation minded people are at the forefront. This has been true forever.
