client control

[sdrealtor]

When I get a chance I will post more but yes client control is important and not a bad thing. RE transactions involve legal documents and clients often will run amok unless you keep them appraised of their responsibilities as well as their rights. Client control does not or should mean pursuading them to do things against their best interests but rather educating them on how to act in their own best interests.

I have refused to work with buyers that have run amok and/or will not sign a Buyer/Broker agency agreement with me. I would typically use my extensive RE knowledge and intimate knowledge of particular areas and tracts to assist them in getting the best deal and likewise, I insist on loyalty to me.

Too often the Buyer/Broker agency agreement has been used to the detriment of the buyer. I think a better agreement would be one covering a specific address that was shown to the potential buyer as opposed to a general ‘blanket’ agreement.

A short one-pager covering a specific amount of time, protecting the Broker’s time and effort spent in showing the property would be quite reasonable.

Ooooooo, my agents have all hated me to the bone!

I talk to the seller at will, I talk to the buyer’s agent at will, I talk to the neighbors at will, I’ll talk to anyone I darn well please. *I’m* buying the house! *I’m* hiring the agent!

I got warned virtually daily by my agent, but it did no good. I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do.

The sale eventually closed, and they got their cash, and have even called me to see if I am interested in buying again. So I guess money solves everything. lol

Client control is only possible if the client lets it be possible. But personally, I like the type of control that Prince sings about.

ucodegen, when I spoke of the Buyer/Broker Agency Agreement, I was talking about it covering a 90-day time frame. It is very easy for an agent to spend a lot of time with a client and their particular needs and then have their buyers run into a shorter skirt, better legs or whoever “spoke to them last” or play footsy with a weekend “open-house agent” they just “happened” upon. Since one in five citizens in the state is a “licensee,” we’re all “bumping into each other” and I could easily lose a “wayward client” I have already shown property to, to a younger “cute” agent with a minute and a half of “experience.” A promise of loyalty when I use my expertise to find exactly what my clients need and is in their best interests to buy is reasonable, IMO.

This is not to say that I’m not attractive, but I’ve seen A LOT of things that female agents (even older agents – LOL) do when showing property in attempt to keep a male client “intrigued” with her or steal him (and his partner, if applic.) away from another agent.
