History: All posts by me, Suzi Gravenstuk, are 100% original. I am influenced by years of study, reading, and research of other people's work. This particular piece was constructed in Microsoft Publisher 2007, today, Friday, July 13th, 2007. The work is saved as PNG, uploaded by 9:30PM and released at 9:47PM.

In Real Estate it is important to understand the fiduciary duties owed by the Agent to the Client, and to the Customer. To set yourself up as optimally as possible for a successful transaction in trying times I visit the idea that the Client should consider that he/she also owes the Agent certain duties.

Suzi, interesting way to present. Really liked when you added to walk in the other's shoes...always a good idea.

original for sure - nicely done, I love the twist of what a client's responsibility is... best of luck

Wow ...that was definitely different and a to the point way to put it all into context. You mean predicting doesn't work? :)

Gena: A contest is a odd time to experiment. I have struggled ith the AR entry system for posting, this is the only way I have found that I can use all the bells and whistles I want to use to express my meaning.

Thesa: This entry was like when you have a planned speech and you end up saying something totally different. I have a couple of other "almost" complete entries with a totally different theme. We all know that communication is key. During this "time" here, sellers really do not need to miss a showing for any reason other than the absolutely unavoidable.

Celeste: You could probably tell that each of the points came from experience. Our MLS guidelines are only as good as the validity of the entries. It may be the best system we have to use for guidelines, but in my opinion it provides more questions than answers.

Thanks for dropping by and commenting!

Suzi-Nice presentation , like the style. Hostility is umrewarding!

07/14/2007 03:07 PM by Indianapolis Real Estate | Paula Henry (ReMax Excel)

Thank you, Paula. I was a bit out of the scope. I guess I should have said plainly and simply that I believe both buyers and sellers will benefit, especially in a slow market--by being thoughtful and considerate of the other party or potential other party--even when they have opposite goals.

This is a concept that more consumers need to think about.. loyalty and respect is not a oneway street..

How nice to have this in writing - are you planning on giving this out to your clients?

Kaye, thanks for reading and commenting. I believe both parties to a transaction gain more than they lose by wearing the other person's shoes. That goes for agents, too.

Sandra, I appreciate you dropping by, too. We discuss most of these issues pre-listing. My clients so far have been super communicators, and are hospitable. I usually don't end up working with the ones who "don't get it", because we simply aren't compatible.

There have been a couple of times that I wish they had told me in advance about concerns that materialize later, because issues can be dealt with strategically up front. I will probably refine this and then use it.

LOL! I guess we should have some expectation from our clients. It take quite an investment of time sweat and money to get the job done.

Dionne, thank you for dropping by. Yes, in part the subject was tongue in cheek. Part of their duties are written in our contracts, and of course their returning our phone calls and emails are important to their achievment of their goals. One part of being a REALTOR that I enjoy is that I usually receive priority treatment even with busy executive clients.

Are you excited? If you found me, you are most likely thinking of moving to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I remember the exictement, anticipation and even misgivings in relocating. Therefore, I try to convey "slice of life" moments with photos I upload. My area of focus is with East Harrison County, and Hancock County,MS:
