[quote=susanyang]I never ask my clients to sign exclusive buyer broker agreement. I have had five clients bailed out on me since I started working as a Realtor in 2007. I must not be cut out for this business.[/quote]

susanyang, this only happened to me ONCE, prior to the institution of the buyer-broker agency agreement. I worked over 150 hours for a buyer who purchased a property I initially showed him from another agent. I can’t say how here, but he got his Karma in the end. Since this agreement was instituted, I have insisted on using it when I have worked with buyers. I would NOT work with a buyer if they didn’t give me at least 90 days. If they balked and went with an agent who will not require this, so be it.

There’s a saying that one out of every five Californians possess a RE license so we’re all “bumping into each other.” Of course, there are WIDELY varying degrees out there of competency, experience and expert knowledge of inventory, tracts, subdivisions and areas.

The most established agents in my area not only have a bilingual staff and/or bilingual buyer’s agents working under them, they will NOT agree to list a property until the owner agrees separately to use THEIR referrals to clean and/or stage it prior to putting it on the MLS. Two of my “pack-rat” neighbors have recently been turned down for listings.

To each his own. Some RE clients don’t care about the agent’s competency, they just want to give their business to a good friend or relative.

The latest incident was when a buyer pretended that he wanted to make an offer on a property I showed him. I spent two hours explaining the contract to him line by line. He does not speak English well, so I translated for him. The next day, he called me to say that he wanted to withdraw the offer because he signed an offer with another agent!!!! An agent whom I know can only speak English but gives rebates! He was not serious about the properties I showed him. All along, all he needed was a translator. I was crestfallen and wondering why incidents like this keep happening to me. I wasted gas, time, and effort. Maybe I should join this rebate company. When you can’t beat them, join them, right?

Is there anything cultural here with respect to the buyers or is it 5 random incidents?
