It's not an exact science helping people buy and sell homes, but there can be hurdles along the way. We are probably one of the few industries who do not get paid until the end of the service- as you can see, sometimes we don't get paid at all.

Via The Christiansen Team (Century 21 Bradley ):

"I know that you told us to call YOU with questions on any homes we see...  but I saw one that looked AWESOME!  You said you were in appointments all morning, so I called the agent on the sign.  He was actually IN the home, so he let me in.  I loved it so I wrote the offer with him and got it accepted.  Sorry!!"  -  Don't do this to your Realtor®.  We work hard to help you.  Have some loyalty peeps! 

 

"I can't wait to show you the new car I just bought!!  I'll bring it to closing next week.  What?  Yeah.  I financed it. Why?"  -  Changing your financial/credit status can (and probably will) kill your ability to get financed.

 

"Hey Jared.  I just got offered the job of a life time!  I start Monday.  Yeah.  I quit my old job.  Why?"  -  Switching jobs can also kill your ability to get financed. 

 

"I want to offer 50% of list price to see what happens."  -  Unless the home is listed at 200% of it's fair market value, don't do this.  It's just not a wise move.  The days of getting the deals like this are gone.  Even with foreclosures.

 

"I know that we agreed last week to list the home for $150,000, but after talking it over with my husband, we want to list at $175,000 to see what happens."  -  Listing MUCH higher than market value just doesn't make sense.  What will happen is that your home will sit with no showings and you will become frustrated. 

 

"I know that we are under contract to buy the home, but we decided we don't want it anymore.  Sorry."  -  Once you are under contract, you can't back out of the deal without a valid reason, such as a financing issue or if some major items come up during the inspection.  If you don't perform, you open yourself up to a possible lawsuit. 

 

All right!  Those are all I can think of today.  Thanks for reading!

I believe some clients think realtor get paid out of a big pot of gold.  Seem not to respect your time.

I am a Maryland transplant from many other places, most recently Florida, but since 1997 I have found my true home in the heart of this great State. Maryland has it all. Mountains 3 hours to the West, the Atlantic Ocean 3 hours to the East and head North and South for either Philadelphia and New York or Washington DC. It is the perfect location! The Metro Baltimore area offers a rich mix of history and modern amenities. City living, suburbia or "not a neighbor in sight" is available in this area. Excellent Schools, amazing communities and an incredible location is why many people choose to live in Central Maryland. I proudly help my clients buy and sell all types of homes in Howard County and beyond. Enjoying the entire process is my goal for my clients. Every transaction is different and everyone has different needs. I know the Metro Baltimore area well and I am current on the Real Estate Market activity- That's my job. As your "Buyers Agent" I will work diligently to find you the home that suits all your needs. I will update you immediately when a home matches your search criteria. I will educate you on the current market and help you craft the best offer possible. I will "hold your hand" throughout the entire process. As your "Listing Agent" I will coach and guide you from day one to put your best foot forward when you list your home. I will use aggressive and innovative marketing strategies to give your home the best exposure possible. I will use modern technology and multiple resources that other agents do not use. I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH PROOF OF ALL MY EFFORTS. I am a full time agent and I my number one goal is to give you exceptional service ALWAYS.
