I just could not believe this! I mean, let me tell you if you are not taking your duties to be a good agent seriously then please find another business to get into! 

We received a call on one of our expired packages. We decided we needed to see this property before we list it because this was a house that should have sold even in our slow market. Meeting with this couple was such a delight, they are wonderful people and we got along very well. The house was absolutely perfect. I am so glad we decided to tour this home prior to listing it. It has so many features that a buyer would desire.

The sellers had their home listed for six months with a local agent. She did not give them a net sheet when she took the listing! I can not believe that! The sellers did not know what their bottom line was going to be and the agent did not educate them as to who pays what and what is customary in our area. The agent did not mention any of the features this house has that bring it more value. She took one photo that looked like crap. This home is so beautiful as soon as I saw the house my mind started churning about what angles would be in our Real Estate Show and what I can do with showcasing this listing on our blog! The agent told these people who are in their late 60's that she would come back to take new photos and never did! When their listing expired with her, she just put their HOUSE KEY in their MAILBOX!  Yep, you read it right! Well, does she know this is illegal? What about security? You just leave keys in someone's mailbox for anyone to take and welcome themselves in your home? I was so embarrassed for my profession right then. This agent did not do these sellers justice.

Well, here we come to save the day and sell this spectacular home! So stay tuned to view another beautiful and priced right listing I am getting ready to showcase!

Yes, and here is the door, do they need any help out? I will gladly give it! They make our business look bad. Well, the good thing is we can show them how the listing should be attended to. Thank you for your comment. Katerina

How crazy is that? If you don't do a net-out and the seller turns out to be upside down they may not even be able to sell it when you get an offer. Good for you and Nestor for being a true professional.

Am sure you will be doing an excellent job for this seller who has been treated poorly prior it does sound like.

And how would you like going to the closing table and finding out you OWE money! That is very likely in this market we are in here. Thanks for you support. Katerina

I had a similar experience when I was on the buyer's side of the transaction.  We made a fair first offer, and the seller's agent came back and said that they couldn't take it.  The reason?  Even at LIST PRICE, the sellers couldn't afford to sell this home.  Why?  They had a prepayment penalty nobody knew about.  Now, this home had been vacant for at least 6 months, and had been on the market with 2 different listing agents.  Nobody bothered to check for a prepayment penalty in all this time. Sad.

Michele- This is a good question to ask the sellers when taking a listing. Sometimes they do not know and sometimes even the sellers withhold information such as a second note. Here in Florida title is not run until an offer is accepted. I build trust with the seller and they will begin to disclose. I have had listings where they say their payments are current and you find out later that they are in pre foreclosure. That is sad that this happened and that agents are not serious enough about their businesses. Katerina

Katerina - Another great example of how you will swoop in and save the day for these clients. I smile every time that a seller says "I hate REALTORS" and ask their story. Too often it is a story like yours. I smile because I know that as bitter as they are, my hard-work and determination will not go unnoticed by these sellers. Keep up the great work! - Toby

First, Katerina, thank you for missing me! That means a lot to me, really! That people like you care, means a ton!

I have been really busy with my "business" which is a really good thing, right? Sold 5 this month and really made some good people very happy! Which made me very happy.

I check you out all the time, but do not always comment, sorry!

Wow.  She left the keys in the mailbox.  And didn't tell them how much it wouldcost them to sell.  I guess that means that she also didn't know what they owed and what they were working with. 

That is SAD.  It gives Realtors a bad name.  It isn't right!!! It is refreshing to see that they found an agent who will help them, not just list them.

Virginia Halter Broker, ABR, CRS

Virginia- SAD is the word! No, she never asked them what they owed. She said it did not matter. Well, it does not matter to the market what you owe but it does matter to know what you are working with and what is the best way to help your client! And she boohood every detail they tried to point out to her that they believed was a value. I will show you pictures this weekend of the house on my post so stay tuned. You will see that these things do add value! Thank you for your comment! Katerina

 Nestor and Katerina,  Good post.  Those sellers are lucky to have you.  Hard to believe that an agent would be so negligent on many levels - leaving keys in the mailbox - illegal, rude, unprofessional.  Was she a character in "Desperate Housewives"?

 That is one I have not heard, put the keys in the mailbox.  I suspect that agents referral list is short.

I had a customer that was expired and she had 4 agents before me. None of the 4 other agents gave her a net sheet. She thought that my commission INCLUDED all the closing costs. Um..."no, ma'am." She got mad at ME for what the OTHER agents did wrong! I'm pretty new in the business. I couldn't believe it! That net sheet is a "what to expect when expecting" for Real Estate.

It is pure laziness and irresponsible. I can not believe that many agents just do not care! Thank you for telling your story here. Thank you for commenting. Katerina
