JP:
It sounds like you are basically just saying that people who don’t do homework make poor decisions.
But getting back to the specific complaint:
Here is an example. I have a place with a market value of 200-250. If I insist on listing it with a 60 day contract for 400 I am certain I would find some agent dumb enough to list it on those terms.
Further, if I switched agents (staying with these terms) every 60 days for a year, those listings would all be separate. Would it be your preference that agent #6 “inherit” the listing that was originally penned by agent #1?
It seems unfair to make someone a part of an earlier contract. Creating a new contract (which necessitates a new listing entry) seems reasonable here. Would you disagree?
