I "touched" this guy 5 times, the last time with a

full blown market evaluation. I FINALLY got him on the

phone tonight. He said, "Jeezuz, you're a aggressive bastard.

Don't you EVER give up?".........................................Perfect!

I responded, "Real estate is a tough game, and sometimes negotiations

can be really tough. At the first sign of trouble, should I collapse,

or do you want someone there negotiating for you who

is a really aggressive bastard?"

I have a listing appointment Friday.

Great Job.  You're right most of us would rather have someone that will not shy away from hard negotiations.

Theodora,

It seemed to strike a cord with him.

Terry - Not only did you get the listing appointment, you've perfectly illustrated why this customer needs your help. Hope it turns into a sale.

Carla,

It's not an annoyance; it's what we do.

You're right, Terry.  Why would anyone want a softie negotiating for them?  If the other REALTOR barks, do you run and hide?  Not I. :)

I must admit though, I've never been called an aggressive bastard. LOL ;)  (no, I won't say what I've been called)

Go Terry! I like your spirited answer. Real estate is not for the faint of heart.

Sounds like there are only three things to say in response to this post:

  1. Terry rocks!
  2. Terry rolls!
  3. Terry rules!

As a Fraser Valley Realtor with Homelife Glenayre, I specialize in the Mission/ Abbotsford areas. I live in the Mission area and make it a point to know this market intimately. From time to time I will feature local Mission businesses on my blog entries to give prospective buyers a little more insight into the area. As well as working with buyers and sellers in the Canadian market, I have networked with several realtors in Arizona, Nevada and California and together we market foreclosed on properties in the south 48.
