Within the last month, I've dealt with a handful of the various types of agents out there; the helpful ones, the nice ones, the not- so- nice ones, the kind of kooky ones, etc..

When acting as an agent to either buyers or sellers, agents need to observe due care and work for the benefit of your client. Working to benefit your client means that you must deal properly with cooperating agents. The name for other agents working on the transaction iscooperating agent, after all, and you should therefore do exactly that; be cooperative! This is not about you or your deal- this is YOUR CLIENT'S deal.

Like I said before, in the last month I've dealt with some agents that just didn't seem to even want to make things work. Your job as an agent is to be the logical third party who helps facilitate and negotiate the transaction. The real estate transaction can be a downright stressful process and when an agent throws their own emotions into the mix, it makes it that much harder to get a deal going.

Agents, please remember to be cooperative and work with other agents to get a deal going. In this market, it's us agents that need to pull together to start moving those properties and helping our clients get what they want!
