I decided to lighten it up a little today. Here is a short list of things to watch out for when working with a real estate agent.
If your agent has any or all of these attributes you may need a new real estate agent:
- Drives a Yugo
- Has a beeper instead of a cell phone.
- Drives the delivery truck from their regular job when showing properties.
- Is not a member of the Board of Realtors (says they are saving money).
- Has the nickname of Slick, Fast or Speedy or has a nickname of a city or state.
- Has a habit of putting their hand on your shoulder and says "Trust Me"
- Wears a green polyester leisure suit.
- Has a free Yahoo e-mail address, or worse has no e-mail address.
- Business cards that were printed at home on the computer.
- Can only meet with you in between giving haircuts.
- Offers to also provide you with the mortgage, insurance and your next car.
- Tells how you can get $50,000 cash back at the end of the purchase.
- Say "No need" for a home inspection.
- Their office and 1967 van are one of the same.
- When you as what designations your agent had they answered, what are those?
I am sure you can think of several others. Have fun with this list.

Very good. I could think of a few too but you covered it. How about.
Mom said you have to use Uncle Joe for your agent because we're having Thanksgiving dinner at his house.
