I dont know about that one. I was on the wrong side of Raven whooping this season and that is one scary defense.

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 Incidently, that person is no longer active in RE, yet another flat fee casualty.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.

Yes and that agent is a good friend. Handling the mechanics of a transactions is no problem for him/her but business savy isnt there. I had numerous discussions with him/her trying to explain what needed to be done but it was on deaf ears. He/she is just too nice of person to be forceful and persistent which is necessary. My recent seller who was in denial was subject to a few very forceful and heated discussions with me. She was in denial and I told her shoe would regret not listening to me. I laid it on the line because I knew she needed to hear what I had to say. It could have cost me the listing but representing her best interests instead of mine were served by laying into her. Its not something i do often but sometimes have to. While you cant force a seller to take a lower offer, you can convince many to be realistic if you understand economics and finance. I have conversations like that with my clients all the time as I suspect you do.

Cabal, I do everything the others do around here and more except blindinly solicit business here. One thing i would suggest is getting an agent who is within a reasonable distance of your home so they can provide the service you need and deserve. Sorry Rus, but I think Jamul is a bit far from wherever this house is. When I get listing opportunities in your area I refer them out because it is better for the client that I do so. I get calls all the time on listings from buyers that want ME to show it to them on short notice. I cant do that on a listing that is far away. The one exception I have to this rule is distressed sales where I beleive my skills in helping them deal with that aspect are more valuable than the disadvantage of being far away. Plus they dont care what price it sells for, just that it sells and they are protected.
