client control

[quote=ucodegen]
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.[/quote]

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.

what i like most about my current agent (been working with him i think a year) is his incredible patience and his complete lack of any attempt to control or even influence me. Maybe he understands this is the only way it can be. Anyway, it makes me loyal to him and actually makes me feel he is more intelligent than people who try to manipulate me. i hope he eventually gets a damned commission. i try not to be a pain,a nd communicate almost exclusively by email, since i feel that’s less hassle than talking to a human.

[quote=sdrealtor]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.[/quote]

Again, in a perfect world. You may have advised some of your clients not to buy during the bubble. So in this respect, I agree that the experience and sophistication level matters.

Hindsight is everything here. Seems pretty obvious that some buyers trusted realtors more than they should have during the bubble and purchased a property b/c it was going to keep going up and this time it was different. I can’t count how many times I was told that. Dumb luck sometimes that I didn’t buy back then.

JP etal,
Client control does not pertain to what or whether they should buy but rather their performance according to the terms of the legal agreement they have signed once a legal agreement has been reached.
