Taking the long way. - 03/31/09 05:01 PM
Well, it happened to me again.  I have to take the long way to get the listing from time to time.
For the awhile, I was the queen of going out on a listing appointment, telling it as I see it, only to have the sellers list with the super-producer or the dream price Realtor.  A few sellers have kept in touch with me to complain about their Realtor, or ask me questions about what their Realtor is doing, which puts me in a precarious and uncomfortable position.  I do not want to talk badly about my cohorts, and I do … (2 comments)
