It is just Who I Am

I had a feeling that might be the answer to that. Resisting change is something people excell at. I agree, too many agents see Buyer's as marks. That is just so bad.

It seems to me with this age of technology that this problem with Buyer's has become worse. I am sooo glad we do not work with Buyer's. I know that probably sounds odd to you, but it is just something we are not interested in doing. We have actually hired an agent to take care of our Buyer leads. Until recently we were just handing the Buyer's to our Realtor friends. No referral, just handing them over. We have been doing that for 12 years now.

So, what my long winded comment is getting to is that when the new agent starts working for our company I am going to sit down with her and explain this concept. It makes sense to me. As far as I can see this mindset with Buyer's agents can only produce a win win situation for all parties to the transaction.

Boy, you sure did get my attention on this one. Ahhh. Out of the box thinking. Wink. Wink.

TLW...ROAR!

ARDELL, To know why to come to Wenatchee you only need to read this post.  It's not just why to invest here, but to come here (permanently or to visit). 

As for the difference between hiking and walking....  Hmmmm, how can I explain it?  It's like Prune Plums.  Prunes are a variety of plum.  Hiking is the Prune.   Y

Well, I am lost.....no light bulb has gone off above my head!

.....Back to the topic....

When I became a RE agent not so long ago, I did not think about (too many other things to learn and think about) who paid the commission, a very savy friend pointed it out to me not long after I started.  I did not think very hard about what that really meant, and it certainally was not what I was hearing my office!  Then last January I stumbled onto Rain City Guide and began reading Ardell...and (okay now I am going to gush!) and what a eye opener!  There, at RCG,  real estate was a much more dynamic and innovative thing and stuff was happening and changing, and my office...no one's office seemed to know it!  So THANK YOU ARDELL!   

....Back once more to the topic....

I think that one reason that agents, brokers, et al don't get it, is that most people in most industries don't get it.   Almost everyone thinks they are paid by their boss, company, district, goverment agency, and so on...NOT true...they are paid by their customers!   I used to teach my new hires (in retail sales) that everyone provides service to someone (the customer)   cashier (customer), teacher (student), doctor (patient), police (community), government employee (taxpayers), President (the people), and that I could help them be successful in anything if they learned who paid them, and how to provide real service to them. 

...Stepping awaaay from the topic....Thank you Ardell for opening my eyes, and being my secret internet mentor!

Hi there...

Soooo glad you have chosen to use the initials given to me by the members of Active Rain. :)

I started out as "The Lovely Wife" and evolved to TLW. How that all happened is a very long story.

Would you like to see a Blog Post Hijack or would you like a detailed explanation?

TLW...ROAR!

Hi Ardell...

You got lucky...We just happen to have a hijack going on right now. :)

It is here. You must read the comments to see how a hijack occurs.

A hijack in Active Rain is when you allow others to dominate your post. It's kind of a game we play around here.

There are no rules on a hijack that takes place with the consent of the Blogger. Many people here welcome a hijack.

They really are amusing. Sometimes at the end of a day folks just want to mess around. That is normally how a hijack occurs.

TLW...ROAR!
