Don’t blame your Realtor for who they are
I hear all the time from people, how bad their Realtor is
and how their Realtor does not respond to their needs. My response is, get another
Realtor if you are not comfortable with the one you are working with. I also
understand the Realtor mind set and sometimes the way you are being treated by
your Realtor may be your fault. That right, the customer is not always in the
right.
Real Estate is a very personal business and you really
should have a special relationship with the Realtor you are working with. That
road goes two ways and for your Realtor to give you the attention you want, you
need to be special to them also. What I mean by that is if you want loyalty from
your Realtor, you need to give them loyalty also.
Every Realtor who has been in the business for a period of time
has been taken advantage by a client or two and probably many more and after a
while as a Realtor you begin to be wary of clients and you closely watch the
time you put into your clients that you may be a little skeptical of.
Realtor's
who have a client that they are confident will stick with them and buy a home, Will
do everything they can to get that client what they want. If they know that the
chance of getting paid in the end is very strong, they will be there for that
client, but if they are not confident that they will get paid after hours and
hours of work, they will not be so generous with their time and can you blame
them.
Think about your job and if you put in the time but at the
end of the month, your employer gave another employee your pay check. That
happens so often with Realtor's and after it happens a few times, your attitude
changes as a Realtor and you become very careful.
I remember the first
time it happened to me, I had worked hard with a client and one day they walked
into an open house and bought a home without me in the mix. It hurt and after
that I only took buyers that I knew would buy a home with me. I turned down
anyone who was not a good bet. I had people actually get mad at me, because I
would not work with them, but It is my time and I decide who I want to work
with and who I do not.
As a buyer, if you want your Realtor to work hard for you
and give you the time and effort you deserve, then give them the same loyalty
that you want from them. If you give a
Realtor your undivided attention and they don’t respond in kind, then get
another Realtor, but before you start Realtor shopping, look at your behavior
and see it you are not a big part of the problem.
