I have seen so many blog postings complaining about the buyer that it seems like the buyer is out to try to make you hate them. Buyers want to look at houses, they watch HGTV all the time and know how things work! Buyers don't need financing approval, their brothers',cousins',sisters', father was a loan officer at Commerce Bank 2 years ago. And on and on it goes. Click on my video, I hope you like it, leave me a comment.

GLenn, I LOVE IT! That's hilarious!! Congrats on the feature. I had this up all night and just got a chance to view it this morning. So great! :)
Its really funny, but scary true! Don't forget the "and once I find a home I do like, I will lowball an offer. Then I will make you take me to 100 more homes before I decide to wait for the market to drop even more."
Something very akin to this happens with lenders too. People expect alot these days ... and then want to commit to nothing. This video is funny ... and not so funny all at the same time.

We have the same issues on our end as you do with certain clients in today's market. Many as you can imagine have past credit issues. I am meeting today with 2 such clients who are coming to me to find out what they can do to get credit qualified. I offer a plan to my clients. The plans include doing the work them self and paying down debt but the client often wants to hear alternative plans because they are too busy to do it them self and paying debt and settling old collections isn't an option as they have no money. I then tell them they should hire a credit repair company to do the work for them but they will still need to pay debt and settle collections to improve their credit in order to get a loan. They do not want to do the work them self or pay someone else or pay any old debts. Most have little or no money saved for a down payment and they are sitting in front of me telling me all about their life's struggles and how their families are going to be in the street if I don't get them a loan. I have learned to advise clients with poor credit what they can do but find that very few will actually follow through on the actions needed. Qualified clients with minor issues are quick to follow my advice and take quick action to resolve the issue so that they can obtain loan approval for a home.
Very timely and a bright spot in my day, the reflection is very true to how people are actually like sometimes.
GREAT Video, Glenn! Fortunately most are not that way, but for those that are it's good to be able to laugh it off.
Thanks for sharing!

Cute video. I've seen several parodies and that all say, "are you kidding me" and I laugh every time!
Hi Glenn. I LOVE this video! I think I'll have to replay this for myself everytime I take a buyer out! It is so true. Can you find one for the unreasonable seller requests? Thanks for the laugh.
Leondra, I was reading the comment from Jim Poole above andd it really got me wanting to do a lender one. Maybe I can create a series, like Steve Martin once said, "I found my special purpose".
Thanks
Jim,
Do you mind if I use your comments as the baseline for a nice How to make your lender hate you video?
I've seen this before, but it's still funny every time. I can only imagine how much better these videos are going to get as computer animation get's more life like.
Eric, I tried Go-Animate but I found it tio be cumbersome or maybe I was just used to Xtranorml.
Richard, Art imitates Life, and the worse it is the funnier it is! or so it appears

This was just so funny.....
One other question we ask is if the buyer has a realtor. I once asked that question and was told that "Yes, I have a realtor....but she's so busy and I didn't want to bother her...."
Pacita, That may be the first line of How to make a Realtor Hate You 2. :)
