Believe it or not, they do exist! THey are the Real estate agents who mislead, misfire and misbehave.
Their bad advice can cost you plenty in time, money and the sheer hassle of keeping the place show-ready 24/7.
The agent from hell will allow you to:
- Overprice your home ("Here's what I can get for you if you list with me!")
- Not market it properly (There are those who just put the listing in the MLS and pray it will sell)
- Fail to screen for qualified buyers
- Be unresponsive to interest from other agents (If they sell their own listing, they don't have to split the commission); and
- Keep you totally in the dark throughout the process.
What's more, if your agent is abrasive, arrogant or otherwise difficult to work with, other agents may not want the hassle of showing any of their listings to prospective buyers.
Unfortunately, many people don't realize they've picked the wrong agent until it's too late and their home ends up on the "Expired" or "Cancelled" lists. Don't let this happen to you!
