Wow, what an obnoxious headline!   

And why in the world am I even writing about it?

My husband and I  usually work on weekends, but last weekend we sneaked off to go to the beautiful Austin Convention Center to the spring RV Show.   We've become real outdoor types the past few years and have finally indulged and bought a fifth wheel and are really enjoying the time with the family and the dogs, even if it's just a quick camping trip.

Anyway, back to the reason for this post.     As we were walking through literally hundreds of shiny, clean RVs (no dog hair, wet bathing suits, or stinky shoes!), I could overhear snippets of conversation between the sales people and their prospective buyers:

"If you want to buy, you need to do it today.  This price is only good for the show."

"Well, we can buy your old unit and get you right into this new unit for the payment you want!"

"OF COURSE you can pull this unit with a half-ton truck!"(ask me about this one HA!)

"So tell me what it's gonna take to get your business today?

You get the picture.  

Personally,  I can NOT imagine talking to a buyer or a seller like that.   I know these salespeople are probably good at what they do and I don't want to offend them, but I found it very distasteful to listen to the pressure they were putting on people, and to some of the half true (or outright untrue) statements that were flying around.

As far as I'm concerned, houses here at Fort Hood sell themselves.  There's no place for pressure on you from an agent.    You, the buyer, will KNOW when you walk into the home that's right for you.  Pressure from an agent should NEVER be allowed to enter the home buying formula.   

My responsibility is to help you sort out your choices, to answer ALL your questions about the homes, the community, and the process of buying a home (or to tell you I don't know the answer but will find out).  I also make sure you have all pertinent disclosures about the property.   No pressure there.  Just people making informed decisions.

 I would never make it the sales world outside of real estate!
