Realtor Commission

[SD Realtor]

I think we are talking about the same person sdr. She handles mechanics well and yoru implication is that indeed she is to “nice” of a personality that she cannot impose her will on clients.

I am not sure that this characterizes her as a poor listing agent. Perhaps in your opinion it does but then again you said or implied as I am to lazy to backtrack the thread that the real work for a GOOD listing agent does not begin until escrow starts.

Perhaps we are simply arguing semantics here. Also because you were able to convince your client that selling at price X is a good move does by no means imply that you would have been able to convince her client to sell at price X.

Correct me if I am wrong but you are saying that she is not a quality agent because she could not talk her clients into selling at price X.

To me unless you have had a crack at talking to her clients, your statement is speculative. Perhaps there are cases where she did not perform well that you have experienced with her.

What I am saying is that your success with your clients does not preclude anything to do with her and her clients.

Sdr, You guy are soliciting business here 100% of the time . Maybe not you so much you but the other guy and HLS. I mean you have noticed that I don’t have Realtor in my screen name? I don’t play that game and as an a-typical realtor I know perception of me is not unanimously good to say the least. People seem to like their Realtors and lenders to be caricatures of people. Maybe it is less threatening.

Instead be a walking talking realtor head, I have made direct overtures to two individuals, in my 14 weeks less on this blog than you have.One I have met and discussed real estate ….don’t know where it will go. I did that because I saw something I liked about their interests and presention including in off- topic. It made sense at the time.

As far as what ever great mystery it takes to sell Cabal’s house ,well … that’s a bunch of mambo jumbo. You make good points and I have learned a lot from you ,but geez…it’s just selling a house. It takes someone to get his/her finger on the pulse and use intelligent strategies and good negotiaton.

Cabal, Sorry that your thread has turned into another pathetic game of posturing, positioning, and one-upsmanship.

Rustico to accomodate you and others next time I disagree with what sdr writes, (which is frequently) I will post it on a seperate thread. That way you will not have to read it and the thread will not be hijacked.

The fact that both he and I stick strongly to our convictions and both feel we are correct should indeed not hold various threads hostage. I guess that yes externally it may appear to be oneupsmanship but deep down both of us believe we are correct, I know I do and I would be pretty sure that he does as well.

Neither of us likes to let the other have the last word.

I didnt say poor listing agent just weak. In the kind of market we are in and have been in for a couple years, weak doesnt cut it. When all you had to do was drop a sign in the ground and collect your commission, weak was OK.

I said the a GOOD listing agents work begins when the offer comes in not when escrow opens. As for the other agents conversations, I know that person well and have had conversations about specific clients with them trying to help them. While I think the world of that person as a person, I dont feel the same regarding their business and negotiating skills. Incidently, that person is no longer active in RE, yet another flat fee casualty.

Rus, I have never solicited a single person on this blog. NOT ONE! The only time I have offered to allow people to contact me is to offer them free advice and access to things I have learned or people I know. Being a good listing agent also takes experience. I know that to be true because I am getting alot better with experience. I know this is far from rocket scibnece but I also that when I am busy and have done multiple transactions in the last few months, I tend to do a much better job than when I have only done a few of late. Practice definitely makes a difference.
