At first I didn't know what to blog about this week.  But the other day I read on Active Rain about an agent who got a call from another agent.  This agent was from another office, she had buyers that wanted to see the other agent's listings.    So could she meet with these buyers and show them the house. 

Some of the responses put this down as being lazy.  Which is one logical explanation?  Then today I was talking with a friend who is trying to sell a house and never hears from her agent.  What it came down to was this agent had too many clients and was neglecting her duties to her clients.  Does anyone say "no" to a potential client and refer them?  Or are some so greedy that the keep piling their responsibilities higher and higher.  I am still in my first year and don't have this problem of too many clients.  I like to work hard but I sure hope I know when to say enough.  All work and no play will make Michele a very dull girl.  Life is too short not to enjoy it.

Well said Michele.  When you get too many clients, just ask for  a higher commission.

When you get too much business to handle, it's a great idea to form a team and start referring those buyer calls to buyer agents.  It sure beats dropping the ball and you can get some downtime in every once in a while.

Michele, Team up with busy Agents in your office who can refer the Buyers to you.  This way it will be a win...win...win...  Good luck in your first of many years in the biz.

Hi Michelle,

We all have to make the determination as to when is too much. I refer clients when I know I cannot service.  For example, I do not do vacant land, short sales, and manufactured homes.  These are type of business that I refer to other agents.  Doing this helps me focus on my current clients and creating more business.
