Not all agents are created equal...

Mike,

Just like a slice of everyday life...our industry has its good and bad......our hope it that the bad are far out numbered by the good.

Take personal responsibility to do your part to keep the ethics in your business and be an example to others.

We have been spared here is the Philly market so far.....I am sure we will have a few snowy days before it is all over.....in the 50"s this weekend.

Hi Michael;

I like working with ethical agents much more than not. I have dealt with a few that were less than above board ... just sucks the fun right out of the job. Fortuneatly the majority of folks in the business have plans for repeat business and clients. A wise man once said: ' A happy customer will tell one or two people ...an unhappy one will tell everybody!'

 

I have a friend in central Oregon that told me that she had 4 feet of snow as of yesterday and snow is predicted for the next 10 days. Wow! We have had a coulpe of light dustings here in Hiawassee.

Mike - What an important statement that is.  Unfortunately, most consumers believe that we're all alike.  As REALTORS®, we must constrantly demonstrate superior service and skills to set ourselves apart.  Excellent, concise post!

I am glad I do not live in your area. But here is a farming tip. I read it somewhere. An agent went door to door when there was several inches of snow in his neighborhood.He caught most people at home and they always remembered that he was hard working and had come  out in the snow. You might want to try it.

I was a police officer for 17 years.  In the justice system there were bad cops, bad judges, bad lawyers, bad secretary's, bad dispatchers, bad city clerks, bad city workers, bad politicians but they were few and far between.  I find exactly the same in real estate, there is the occasional comment made that makes you run on a dead sprint the other way because you know you don't want anything to do with that.  Its all over, its in every facet of life, every profession in every town, in every state, county, and continent.
